Black Mold Remediation by ServiceMaster Roswell
In the world of household threats, black mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum, stands out as a significant concern for homeowners and businesses alike. Often thriving in damp, humid conditions, this toxic mold variant is recognized by its dark color and can be found lurking in water-damaged buildings, posing serious health risks to occupants.
Black mold exposure is particularly dangerous, leading to symptoms like chronic coughing, sneezing, skin irritation, and in severe cases, more serious respiratory and neurological issues. Its presence signifies not just a property issue but a potential health hazard, making its effective remediation a priority.
The insidious nature of black mold lies in its ability to spread silently. Often hidden within walls, above ceiling tiles, or under carpets, it can impact indoor air qualityand exacerbate health issues without clear visual signs. Understanding the dangers associated with black mold is key to recognizing the urgency of professional remediation efforts.
Why Professional Black Mold Remediation Is Crucial
Tackling black mold is not a DIY task. Its removal requires specialized knowledge, tools, and safety protocols, which only professional remediation services like ServiceMaster Roswell can provide.

FAQs About Mold
What is mold?
Mold is a microscopic fungus that is part of the natural environment and necessary for our ecosystem. While it is necessary in the outdoor world, too much mold inside a structure can be dangerous and unsanitary. Mold produces spores as part of its life cycle, and these spores float through the air both inside and outside.
Why is mold a problem?
Many people aren’t aware that mold can cause serious structural damage to homes and businesses, which, if left undetected, can cause a property to lose value and/or require significant repairs. If you have ever suffered from allergies, exposure to molds can often cause nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, skin irritation, or even more severe reactions.
What does mold need to grow?
Mold needs a moist environment, temperatures above freezing, and a food source, which could be leaves, paper, dirt, wood, or other building materials. Mold is more likely to be found in damp, dusty spaces or areas with stagnant air.
How can I tell if I have mold?
If you see mold growth or water stains, a mold test can help identify related microbial activity. You can also look for areas where water leakage has occurred, such as roofs, pipes, ceilings, or walls. Musty smells may also indicate the presence of mold.
What can I do to prevent the growth of mold in my home?
The most effective means to keep mold in check include keeping the humidity level of your home at 40 to 60 percent, using an air conditioner and/or dehumidifier during humid months and in damp spaces like basements, and always utilizing exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, along with dryer vents outside your home.
Lastly, if there are leaks in your roof, walls, or plumbing, it is important to call ServiceMaster Roswell at ☎️ (770) 200-5111 to repair them as soon as possible.
When does mold need to be handled by a professional remediation company?
Most experts recommend a professional remediation company when elevated mold levels are detected. ServiceMaster Roswell has a trained team that will isolate and treat mold-affected areas to avoid contaminating adjacent spaces.
Some molds have the reputation of being more dangerous than others. Is identifying the mold important?
Sometimes you will hear terms like “toxic mold” and “black mold” used to refer to molds. While identifying the type of fungus or mold may be interesting, it doesn’t affect the course of action. If mold is present, ServiceMaster Roswell strongly recommends removing it, no matter the type*.
