Knowing the Mold in Your House Helps Provide Fast Removal

Dozens of common residential mold types can impact your Dunwoody residence. While many behave similarly, the differences are sometimes unique enough to warrant different approaches for remediation and cleanup. These variances also make air sampling and testing pertinent to the mold removal process for properties, even when organisms are already known to exist.

Mold Behaviors Based on Their Species

Mold remediation for Dunwoody homes often begins with an overall property assessment. It is crucial to understand the scope of the work to be done and the type of mold impacting the property. Common residential mold types can include Cladosporium or Aspergillus. However, there is also the concern for more formidable varieties, like black mold, better known as Stachybotrys.

Does the type of mold influence the urgency of removal or other factors in remediation?

  • Timely Removal: Because all mold species feed on organic matter, the need for quick and effective remediation strategies remains the same. The longer this process is delayed, the more the structure potentially weakens by hosting the organisms.

  • Toxicity: Certain types of molds, such as the Stachybotrys mentioned above, are known to release mycotoxins into the environment. These directly impact the health of those exposed and can create more than an uncomfortable situation for your family. Because of this, more stringent containment and negative pressure are utilized to work against cross-contamination concerns actively.

  • Aggression: While all types of molds can potentially destroy building materials used as hosts, some species, like Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Stachybotrys chartarum, are more aggressive than others.
