What Is Black Mold?

Black mold, commonly known as Stachybotrys chartarum, is a type of mold that often appears black or greenish‑black. It typically grows on materials such as cotton, wood, drywall, and paper products. Because it thrives in damp environments, it can develop quickly after water damage or prolonged moisture exposure.

Stachybotrys chartarum may produce toxic compounds called mycotoxins, which are found in airborne spores and small fungal fragments. Although ingested mycotoxins can be harmful, there is currently no proven link between inhaled Stachybotrys mycotoxins and deadly diseases. However, people with allergies, asthma, or other sensitivities may experience significant reactions when exposed to black mold.

Beware of the Free Inspection Advertisements!

More and more Full Service Water Damage/Restoration Companies are generating consumer complaints with Fraudulent Free Mold Inspections, or Mold Testing Services.

warning
A Remediation Contractor should not be performing pre or post testing on any property in which they have a financial interest in offering remediation services. The expense of sending out an inspector or in the case of a Restoration Company salesperson is real. Unethical companies deceptively use a “Free Inspection” or “Free Testing” as a way to get into your home in order to give you a high pressure sales pitch, with salespersons being overly aggressive in recommending remediation services to exaggerate the scope of work needed, high profits are expected. Consumers have found that these “free inspections” often come with a hefty price tag when the salesman presents a frightening list of dangerous conditions that are claimed to be emergency, requiring immediate and expensive repairs.

An insider recently stated that the goal before even walking through the door is $10,000.00 in findings. HEI believes you deserve the peace of mind of having your home evaluated by an objective, professional inspector, who is not there to sell you expensive and often unnecessary repair services. We offer honest, accurate inspections that carefully outline whatever actions may be required to correct any problems. If the extent of damage requires more extensive repairs, we can recommend reliable and honest local companies that we have worked with and trust.
