Identifying Black Toxic Mold

The first step is to confirm that the mold in your home is actually black toxic mold (Stachybotrys chartarum). If you haven’t found the mold colony yet you’ll need to have a mold inspection.

If the mold in your home looks like black toxic mold then you should have it professionally tested to identify its species. Once you know it’s black toxic mold you should immediately begin taking steps to have it removed.

Don’t Disturb Black Toxic Mold

The biggest mistake would be to try to kill or remove black toxic mold yourself. Disturbing black toxic mold can trigger the release of millions of spores and mycotoxins. These can contaminate your home, perhaps even beyond repair.

The goal of black toxic mold removal is not to kill the mold. Instead it is to completely remove the mold from your home.

Materials that the black toxic mold is growing on, such as drywall, must be cut away and removed all together. This way the black toxic mold will be disturbed as little as possible.

Preventing Black Toxic Mold Returning

Black toxic mold needs a lot of water for several days or more before it can start growing. Part of black toxic mold inspection is finding and fixing the water source that caused it. As long as the moisture problem has been fixed then the black toxic mold should not return after it’s been removed.
