Mold might seem like a minor household nuisance, but certain species can seriously affect both health and property. Toxic molds release dangerous spores and mycotoxins that harm the lungs, skin, and immune system. Many molds grow hidden behind walls, carpets, or ceilings, making detection difficult.

Understanding these types is the first step toward protecting your home and loved ones.
