What is “BLACK MOLD”!? | Separating hype from fact


We’ve heard a lot of people in Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls and Missoula alike, tell us they found “black mold” in their home. This is usually accompanied by a sense of fear.

A short explanation than of what black mold actually is:

What the Media created a huge scare about was a particular type of mold called Stachybotrys chartarum. This mold is a highly toxic and allergenic mold that has a penchant for thriving inside of a home.

But keep in mind everybody, you cannot tell a mold by its color! Many, many, many molds are black in pigment. Not all are “black mold”. Even Stachybotrys can manifest in other colors such as green.

If you think you may have black mold in your home, call in an expert. The Mold Wranglers have years of experience eradicating exactly those types of problems!
