Whether you can spot it or not, there is a good chance mold is on your property. Mold is something that occurs naturally, although the type of mold that grows in your house or property is the real issue. Mold spores move through the air, entering structures through any opening, such as windows, doors and HVAC systems. They can also enter a residence on shoes, clothing and animals.

Pair that with an expert who will develop the best way for treatment and perform the remediation process, and you have Paul Davis.

Mold, unlike most allergens, does adversely affect the health of any person whether they have allergies or not. Mold migrates through the surfaces it’s found in, meaning that the longer it goes without treatment in your house, the worse its effects are. Paul Davis can correctly identify the types of mold growing in your residence and effectively handle treating it.

Some common molds are:

  • Penicillium – A mold that most commonly grows on wallpaper, wallpaper glue, decaying textiles, carpets and fiberglass insulation. Penicillium will cause hay-fever type reactions and induces asthma attacks.
  • Aspergillus – This is a warm weather mold that thrives outdoors and indoors. It can be discovered in areas of extreme dampness and extensive water damage, as well as decomposing organic matter. It is also found in dust and produces mycotoxins.
  • Alternaria – This mold is commonly found in textiles, dust, carpet, showers, soil and window frames. This large spore mold takes traction in soft tissue, like the nose, mouth and respiratory tract.
  • Cladosporium – Cladosporium is the highest commonly identified outdoor fungus easily enters homes. It spreads in damp, porous locations like textile and wood. Both the indoor and outdoor variety cause asthma attacks and induces hay-fever like reactions.
  • Stachybotrys – Being a less common household mold is good, as it is among the more horrible. It needs excessive moisture to grow, and causes breathing problems, flu-like symptoms, hearing and memory loss, and bleeding in the lungs.
  • Acremonium – This toxic mold grown in areas of moisture like cooling coils, humidifiers, drain pans, and window sealants. It’s a powdery mold that grows in a variety of colors like pink, white, grey or orange.
  • Aureobasidium – This mold is often discovered growing behind painted wood surfaces and wallpaper. It begins light brown or pink in color but deepens to dark brown-black as it ages. This is a highly responsive allergic mold, causing eye infections and skin rashes.
  • Chaetomium – This mold can be located in houses after flooding or leaking and in chronically wet conditions. It has a dank odor, cotton like texture and changes colors from white to grey or brown as it ages. Chaetomium is known to produce mycotoxins that affect the immune system, causing nail and skin infections.
  • Cladosporium – Cladosporium grows in cold and warm environments and moves rapidly on upholstery, fabrics, carpets and under floorboards. It has an adverse reaction with wet tissues like the eyes, nose, mouth and throat.
  • Fusarium – This mold is commonly found in a home’s soft goods and thrives and moves in cold temperatures. A reddish strain is found in organic products like food and house plants, and both kinds can move rapidly through a home. Symptoms from this mold start out as a sore throat, runny eyes and skin infections then progresses to bone infections and brain abscesses.
  • Trichoderma – Trichoderma is a highly allergic mold with 5 subspecies. It’s a rapidly growing mold with a wool like texture that is mostly white and green. It grows in moist and consistently damp locations like HVAC systems, wood and upholstery.
