Are All Types of Black Mold Toxic?
Not all black mold is harmful, but some strains can be extremely dangerous to your health. The most harmful one is Stachybotrys chartarum, which contains mycotoxins that can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other issues. Since it is difficult to determine if it is toxic or non-toxic mold, it is best to have a professional assessment to go through mold removal costs as well as what could be the scope of work for black mold removal.

Identifying Black Mold in the Home
- Visual: Black or dark green discoloration on ceilings, walls, carpets, or wet areas.

Mold Removal Cost and Dangers of Do-It-Yourself Removal
The price for the removal of mold is determined by the extent of the infestation, the square footage involved, and the technique required for removal. Minor issues may be handled with basic household cleaning solutions, but more heavy infestations require the expertise of specialists. Carelessly removing hazardous spores releases potentially toxic material in the air to make air inside the space worse, and also pose health risks.
