Stopping or preventing water intrusion in a building is critical to avoid the growth of mold and mildew, particularly toxic black mold.
Black mold, or Stachybotrys, grows where there is moisture from water damage. Common warning signs include musty smells, or discolored drywall or wallpaper; however, buildings may have significant mold growth without visible signs.
Not only does black mold destroy infrastructure, it is a significant health hazard. Stachybotrys is one of several fungal species that is a major allergen, and it can have negative immunological and toxicological effects on both humans and animals.
Trichothecenes (which cause damage to the immune and nervous systems) and hemolysins (which cause hemorrhaging or bleeding) are just two of the many mycotoxins found in black mold.
