MOLD REMOVAL ROYAL OAK MI

Cladosporium is one of the common types of mold found inside Royal Oak homes. You are most likely to find cladosporium growing on fabrics like carpet and on wood surfaces such as cabinets and floors. This type of mold is known to cause respiratory problems.

Chaetomium is often found in damp buildings. Beyond these dwellings, you might spot chaetomium on water-damaged building materials, including wallpaper, drywall, window frames, baseboards and carpets. Chaetomium generates an enzyme called cellulase, which breaks down the cellulose in these materials and destroys them.

Ulocladium needs excess water to grow. As such, you will frequently find ulocladium in areas with extensive water damage. Flooded homes often fall prey to ulocladium as the fungus grows on wet walls. Many people are allergic to ulocladium.

Fusarium is another of the common types of mold. Fusarium grows at lower temperatures and is frequently found growing on water-damaged carpets and other fabrics. Allergic reactions produce symptoms such as asthma and respiratory infections. Immunocompromised individuals are particularly susceptible to infections from fusarium exposure.

Penicillium often grows on water-damaged materials, including carpet, wallpaper, insulation, and mattresses. Furthermore, it quickly spreads from one part of the property to another. Prolonged exposure to penicillium produces allergic reactions, chronic sinus infections, and inflammation of the lungs.

Stachybotrys is commonly referred to as “black mold” thanks to its slimy black appearance. It is also called “toxic mold” since it causes allergic reactions, breathing problems, chronic sinus infections, asthma attacks, fatigue, and depression. One of the key characteristics of Stachybotrys is a musty odor. Check damp places like air conditioning ducts where there is a lot of condensation or around leaky pipes.

Efflorescence gets a bad rap as it is often confused with mold. In actuality, efflorescence is a crystaline, salty deposit that forms on brick, concrete, and other masonry products.
