Educate Yourself: Different Kinds of Mold
Mold naturally occurs. Spores float through the air until they hit a surface. However, they only germinate and grow if they find moisture and warmth. Places like bathrooms, basements and laundry rooms provide excellent growing conditions for mold spores. Once spores have germinated and grown, they'll form new spores and spread throughout your house.
Stachybotrys: Also known as the dreaded black mold, Stachybotrys grows in temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 69% humidity. It takes between six and nine days to grow. Though it’s generally not found in the natural Canadian environment, black mold is found in wood materials, damp wallpapers, gypsum wallboards, and water damaged buildings. Luckily, Advanced Remediation Solutions offers black mold removal in Edmonton, AB & surrounding areas.
Memnoniella, Ulocladium and Chaetomium: These three represent what we call “indicator molds” because they grow in the same conditions as Stachybotrys (black) mold. If you see evidence of these molds growing, you may also have Stachybotrys in your home. Call us to perform mold removal in your Edmonton home so you and your family stay safe.
Trichoderma: This indoor mold attaches to kitchen surfaces like ceramic tiles and to dampened paper materials.
Aspergillus: This kind of mold causes respiratory infections in pets and humans. Certain types of Aspergillus can spread carcinogens.
Penicillium: Though bread mold was discovered to have an antibiotic effect, this species was also discovered eating building materials.
Fusarium: Found in soil, Fusarium has a reputation for contaminating grain and related products. It also can contaminate your home’s air ducts and infect members of your family with weakened immune systems.
Cladosporium: This fast-growing mold can start spreading in your home within 24 hours. It also can cause respiratory irritation, especially asthma attacks.
