One of the most common mold myths is the term “black mold”. The color of mold is determined by the type of nutrients it can absorb from the material it is living on.
To say “i have black mold” is like saying i have a black dog. It tells what color the dog is but it does not identify what type. Unless lab analysis has identified stachybotrys (the actual “black mold”), that is a slim mold and very problematic, than you don’t have it. The next big myth is that mold can be remediated by using bleach. This is not only wrong but it can also become a contributing factor in the continuing growth of the mold.
Basement and Crawl Space Mold and Crawl Space Encapsulation
Mold is classified as a kind of fungi.
Some fungi is harmless, like types of mushrooms that are safe to eat. However, others can cause serious issues or even cause death. There are hundreds of types of mold found both indoors and outdoors. It most often grows in damp, dark areas, which is why it’s commonly seen in basements, attics, cellars, crawlspaces, bathrooms, etc. Mold comes in an array of colors, most commonly seen as black. Mold typically grows and continues to grow due to a buildup of moisture that isn’t remedied, which is why it’s essential to handle flooding and leaks quickly and thoroughly to avoid a much trickier problem.
