When high humidity or moisture collects in a dwelling, a mold colony is certain to follow. Most species of mold can develop in 24 to 48 hours and opportune mold spores are always circling. Mold looks like connected furry round patches of black, brown, yellow, pink or green growth. They spread throughout walls, crawl spaces, basements, ceilings, attics and bathrooms. Many times, a mold odor will befoul a home but the growth remains hidden. Hero Mold Company quickly finds hidden mold with detection tools that sense differences in temperature and humidity. These detection tools help find mold beneath flooring, inside heating/cooling ducts, wall cavities, basements and crawl spaces.

Honest Mold Testing: No Ambiguous Testing

Setting up Mold Sample
Many mold species look and produce similar odors which makes it impossible to tell the species with just a look or whiff. A Mold expert must examine a sample under a microscope. Mold needs to be always removed, regardless of species, due to its harmful health effects and damage to buildings.
Be Aware, the identification of mold species will not affect how mold is removed. Usually, you only need confirmation of mold growth to seek advice of a mold removal or remediation company. Occasionally, mold testing is required to aid certain situations:
- Your Property Closing needs proof mold treatment is not required.
- Before- Treatment versus After Treatment- showing how effective the treatment was.
- A loved family member or valued employee suffering mold sickness needs Species of mold identified to improve or implement a medical treatment plan.
- Tenants with mold sickness, facing unresponsive landlords, often hire Professional Mold testing. Mold testing identifying a dangerous species may prod a reluctant Landlord to act. If your living situation does not improve, we suggest you consult an attorney to understand your full rights as a tenant.
Budget Accurate Mold Testing Methods
Hero Mold Company’s mold testers are trained in building science and cross contamination prevention. Using testing materials accidentally or carelessly exposed at previous client locations is a common error we guard against. Mold spore species differ per location throughout our environment so any contamination error may wrongly identify species. Experts trained to protect against contamination provide the most accurate results. Hero Mold Company technicians employ rigorous methods of sampling and safety packaging.
Mold samples are collected by:
- Tape- Lift: Tape touched to the mold colony then lifted off and sealed into specialized packaging.
Swab Mold Sample
- A clean swab is rubbed across the molds surface then place into tamper proof packaging.
- Metered Air samples are taken from several locations in the home or business for examination to discover what your breathing.
Hero Mold Testing Company will advise only those mold tests considered reliable to provide the necessary information- saving you from repetitive and ambiguous tests. Hero Mold Company gladly offers honest professional advice for which mold tests apply to your unique situation.
Mold in Greensboro, NC What is it?
Mold has primordial beginnings. It recycles dead organic material into its most basic elements for food leaving the leftover nutrient released to the soil. This is beneficial to life outdoors however, mold inside a home or business is destructive. Mold in a home not only devours building materials and possessions but brings sickness to susceptible people under its influence.
How does Mold Spread?

Mold Spores Release
Mold colonies reproduce through periodic releasing of incalculable mold spores to the atmosphere. Spores float unseen on the weakest of air currents developing colonies wherever they land with favorable conditions. Our homes and businesses will always have mold spores floating about. They regularly pass through open doors, windows or are carried inside on someone or something. Mold spores, also, hide dormant within original building materials waiting for generous sources of moisture to spark growth. Consequently, Mold Removal technicians focus on removing the excessive water source to kill the colony. Vigilance against high humidity and water leaks is the best way to keep mold growth away.
Mold Sickness of a loved one deserves fast mold removal to end their suffering. You’ll get the quickest most successful results with Hero Mold Company professional mold remediation. Mold Removal for the lone homeowner means facing an overwhelming task that is backbreaking and time consuming.
Black Toxic Mold: Fear from the Past
In the Bible, Toxic mold was described as a poisonous black growth on building stones. Homeowners were directed by elders to remove affected stones far the community and buried deep.
In 1940’s Russia, a large number (34) of horses died of lung hemorrhage. Investigators discovered that they had been fed wet grains infected with black toxic mold. It was a very wet harvest that year and the grain stores were polluted throughout with Toxic Black Mold. Also noted, farmers or handlers who came in contact with the moldy grain developed skin irritation and respiratory infections. Those who unfortunately consumed the grain experienced nausea, diarrhea and occasionally death from lung hemorrhage. Lessons from this outbreak drifted into a cautionary tale for agricultural farmers and prevention methods continue today.
It wasn’t until the early 1990’s, that homeowners in the states begin to fear black toxic mold. In 1992, 30 Ohio babies became very ill exhibiting symptoms of lung hemorrhage that rapidly became deadly with 12 of the babies dying. Panicked Parents across the nation needed investigators to figured out why fast. The Hunt was on for what had sickened these babies. It was discovered that each baby lived in a formerly flooded home where black toxic mold was growing. One of the investigators remembered lung hemorrhage details of dead Russian horses, in the 1940’s, making the connection to the babies. In the following years, more sensational news of deaths or life altering illness attributed to Black Toxic Mold has been routinely heard from coast to coast. Now, most of us have a universal dread, just at the thought, toxic mold could be growing in our home.
Characteristics of Black Toxic Mold

Black Toxic Mold in Closet
Black Toxic Mold (Stachybotry chartarum) is greenish black in color and appears slimy with moisture. It generally, travels out from a dark corner in circular patch fashion. Since this mold is heavy with moisture, it is less likely to release pieces into the atmosphere unless disturbed. Dried up Black Toxic mold resembles a thick ash which is easily disturbed to launch about the atmosphere. Toxic Black Mold thrives in dark hidden areas behind walls, beneath floors, crawl spaces and in basements. It doesn’t do well in bright sunlight or in breezy locations.
Black Toxic Mold Worries in Greensboro, NC
Potential clients upset at the possibility of black toxic mold (Stachybotry chartarum) growing in their home or business have many reasons to worry:
- Family member becoming severely ill.

- Worried that a future property sale will take a hit because buyers will have to be told about the previous mold. However, documentation of a successful mold remediation will show a buyer there is nothing to fear.
Knowledge can be comforting: Stachybotry chartarum mold though common outdoors decomposing dead vegetation is uncommon in an occupied house. This mold needs 8 to 12 days being soaking wet to develop. Its enemies are strong sunlight, ruffling air currents and professional mold remediation. Previously flooded vacant homes are the most common place to find Black Toxic Mold.
We can assure you that for most of our clients it didn’t turn out as bad as they imagined. Save yourself some worry and find out for sure. Contact Hero Mold Company for a free Mold inspection- no conditions apply.
Where Does Toxic Black Mold Hide or Grow?
Stachybotrys chartarum will thrive somewhere dark and out of active environments (hidden) fed by a long active water leak. Unnoticed plumbing leaks under sinks, behind walls, beneath floors, and within ceilings, are prime development locations.
Health Costs of Black Toxic Mold
We’ve known for many years that Stachybotrys chartarum mold is poisonous to people and their pets. It causes health effects such as headaches, respiratory infections, nausea, lung hemorrhage and in worst-case death. It produces a higher concentration of mycotoxins than other mold species and will even repel other species from growing near it. Mycotoxin poison spreads through the air and poisons by a touch, consuming or inhaling the spores as they float by.
A less well-known health cost of mold infestation is loss of smell due the strong odor mold releases. Our ability to taste complex flavors within a meal depends a great deal on our sense of smell. When we scent food, odor molecules move up our nose to commingle with the 5 types of taste receptors. Our taste buds’ sense salty, sweet, bitter, sour and savory. These two senses combine to deliver our enjoyment of a complex favorable dinner. Science claims that as much as 90 % of what we taste is due to smell. Families in a mold infested home are unlikely to fully enjoy once favorite meals.
Without any financial cost to you, contact Hero Mold Company for a mold inspection and find out if mold is making your kids sick.

When Insurance Covers Mold Costs?
Homeowners may find Insurance covering their mold damage if it was caused by what is called a “covered Peril”. Covered Perils are best described as accidental some examples are:
- A burst water pipe releases a large amount of water into your living room while you’re at work soaking the carpet, drywall and before you can call the insurance agency mold develops.
- dishwasher, clothes washer or water heater. Stop the flow of water as soon as it’s found then call the Insurance Agent.
- A good quality washer hose (not old or worn) starts leaking but you don’t notice it before you began smelling mold.
The import action to take as soon as you notice a leak is to stop the water flow to reduce the water damage in the home before you call the Insurance Agent.
Why Insurance won’t Cover Mold Removal?
Insurance agencies expect that you will perform regular maintenance. Such as, using the exhaust fan in the bathrooms to vent humidity, periodically checking the basement, crawl space, attic. Maintenance doesn’t end with the interior the outside must also be checked regularly including Roof repair or replacement.
Damage due to poor or no maintenance is not covered some examples are:
- The 30-year-old roof has been leaking into the attic and you don’t really know how long but decide to check on it later. Next week you see mold covering the attic rafters and are worried about toxic mold. Insurance may not help because the roof should have been repaired when the leak was found. Roofs last 20 to 30 years, depending on quality and the Insurance agency will consider its age before paying claims.
- You spy a small amount of Mold in a corner down in the basement and then forget about it. Then one day you smell mold and after checking the basement you see that the mold has bloomed across a wall. Be aware, mold growth, very quickly, picks up exponentially because as a colony increases so does its ability to produce more members.
- Flood damage is not covered, unless, you have a separate flood disaster policy.
We don’t intend to provide Legal advice. Contact your Homeowners Insurance Agent to be sure about coverage.
DIY Black Toxic Mold Test Kit- Worthwhile?
Mold has been with us since primordial times and is essential to the well-being of our environment. Mold exist in colonies that spread out in circular fashion and are found nearly everywhere on earth except the arctic. They thrive in moisture rich environments decomposing dead things for food. Colored fuzzy patches of black, white, orange, green or purple are common, but often depends on food source. They reproduce by releasing spores, not visible to the naked eye, to coast with passing breezes. People are exposed to mold spores everyday while outside or occasionally indoors – you really can’t escape inhaling mold spores. The problem arises when a large amount of mold spores is inhaled inside a home with a mold infestation.
Black Toxic Mold test kits promise to let the consumer know if there is mold in their home. Generally, it’s a small tray (petri-dish) containing a nourishing compound that feeds mold. Theory is that if you have a problem with mold it will in a short period show up as growth in the tray. Homeowners are desperate to discover if toxic mold is growing in their homes. However, you should be aware these kits have many errors and no good answers.
Errors of DIY Mold Testing Kits
- Incalculable Mold spores of many species float about our world indoors and out. It should be no surprise that a small tray with moist food grows mold in a day or two- even in a non-infested home.
Mold in Tray
- The mold spore growing in the tray may not have anything to do with the mold growth in the home. Species of mold spores are different sizes and weights. Presumably, the lightest mold spore lands first but it may not be the species causing trouble.
- When the mold kit doesn’t develop growth, it doesn’t mean your’re in the clear because, the kit could have been stored in extreme temperatures or for so long that the nutrient went bad.
- Species of mold growth can’t be determined by looking because many species share characteristics- it must be examined by an expert under a microscope.
- The extent of the mold infection can’t be understood by how long it took mold to form in the petri-dish. Mold Species grow at different rates so a growth can only tell you a mold spore found it.
- Many times, the Mold test kit company will offer further testing for an additional charge but these labs seldom provide information beyond species which may not be the actual species causing the problem.
Real life is complicated and it really takes an expert to evaluate mold growth in a home not a DIY mold test kit.
Fair Cost Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl Space Encapsulation encloses the home from the soil under the home and the outside environment to prevent harmful gases such as radon, methane (decomposing organic matter) and nasty odors from invading the living space. Building an envelope will also prevent Energy loss from the home to the great outdoors.

Standing Water in Crawl Space
Crawl Spaces, in most homes, generally have fiberglass insulation fitted between the floor joists and several ventilation vents situated around the perimeter that can be opened or closed to control humidity. Generally, a thick poly sheeting is laid across the earth but purposely falling short of reaching the edges of the crawl space this is done so that any water that may gather could escape to the earth without flooding the crawl space, however, it also allows gases a path from the soil to the home.
During hot weather, vents are opened to remove the humid air in the crawl space. Real-world experience has shown that venting the crawl space will only be effective if the humidity outside is lower than the inside which in Greensboro, NC almost never happens. During cold weather, vents are closed to prevent energy loss to the cold outside, however, a crawl space that is cold pulls heat from the home above because the insulation placed between the floor joists under the house is in most cases inadequate, damaged or missing.
Why is Good Air Important?
University Studies have shown 50% or more of the air in our homes originates in the crawl space. These studies have shown a Crawl space atmosphere is often swarming with mold spores, odors, radon gas and bacteria from dead and living critters. This polluted air is drawn upwards into the home not only bringing foul odors but sickness to susceptible family members. For a quick understanding of what your family is breathing, ask Hero Mold Company to check the quality of the air in your crawl space. We can evaluate it for mold, mildew, insects, excessive moisture and rodents- this is all done free of charge or expectation. Should you need cleaner air, Hero Mold Company can make a fast-affordable fix.
Crawl Space Encapsulation Steps to Better Health
The Crawl Space will be swept cleaned and the ground leveled.
- Ground Water problems are investigated and solved with proper grading of the land surrounding the home, building drain tile around the crawl space and installing a sump-pump.
- Insulation that is wet, moldy and damaged is removed from between the floor joists.
- Wood Framing with irreparable moisture damage will be replaced.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
- A monolithic poly membrane that is puncture resistant that will be installed to cover the ground and to ride up the interior perimeter walls of the crawl space about 8 inches.
- All Seams and edges are sealed with tape to prevent rising gasses and humidity from the soil into the homes interior space.
- Vents will be covered to prevent air or energy loss.
- Insulation applied on the interior perimeter of the crawlspace walls to control energy loss.
- A dehumidifier or air-exchange system will remove Residual Humidity.
Hero Mold Company offers the best cost locally for Crawl Space Encapsulation services troubled with mold infestation or standing water. Expert crawl space encapsulation generally accompanied with a dehumidifier or air exchange will repel Mold, Rot and prevent Energy loss. Critters and insects looking for food and shelter will be prevented access to the crawl space.
Greensboro Water Disaster Cleanup: Reasonable Cost

Burst Pipe in Shower
There are a multitude of reasons for a deluge of water inside home such as roof damage, busted plumbing pipe, water heater break, overflowing tubs, backup of sewage, flood and others. Water disasters in homes are important to clean up quickly because wet carpet, wallboard, wooden floors… will develop mold in as little as 24 to 48 hours. A family is not ready to battle against an incredible force of water suddenly dropping into their homes- it’s quite unexpected. For a family to move quickly with water removal equipment is nearly impossible. Most families don’t maintain high speed water removal pumps and will have to rent them and you can bet many others need to rent the same equipment. Thus, most families suffer further misery when the water damage is followed by a massive mold growth.
Even a small volume of water can be overwhelming for example, a second story toilet overflow can send water into the ceiling of the room below maybe causing a partial collapse of the drywall. Depending where it is (could be next to electrical lights) and what building materials are involved, it would lead to faster and better results to hire Hero Mold Company specialists. Our Specialists with the help our commercial high-volume vacuum pumps will rapidly pull out the water and then using commercial heaters dry out the building materials quickly.
