Stachybotrys is the scientific name for "black toxic mold." Black mold grows in moist areas on cellulose-based materials, such as: ceiling tiles, dead plant materials, water-damaged building material, wallboard/drywall, and wood. This greenish-black mold produces a series of harmful toxins and a variety of compounds that affect the immune system. It thrives in areas with relative humidity above 55%. Even dead spores are allergenic and can be toxic, so identification of even a few black toxic mold structures and spores requires adequate treatment and preventive consideration.

Mold Removal’ board certified inspectors are experts in toxic mold investigation, abatement and decontamination, serving New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. We also provide inspection and restoration services after fire and water damage. We use state-of-the-art techniques and follow the American Indoor Air Counsel methods for black mold testing and inspection, along with the latest methods for mold abatement and decontamination. We collect air and surface samples, analyze them, and do a damage and contamination assessment. We provide a comprehensive report and will recommend emergency action if contamination is critical. Black toxic mold should not be allowed to spread unchecked indoors because of the associated health risks, ranging from allergic responses to more serious consequences, such as allergies, circulatory problems, skin disorders, nervous system conditions, and interference with protein synthesis at the DNA level.
