Frequently Asked Questions
Mold and mildew are fungi. No one knows exactly how many species of fungi exist, but estimates range from 10,000 to 300,000, and possibly even more.
The most common indoor molds include Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Mucor. Various molds affect people differently, and almost all have the potential to affect the health of humans and pets. Common molds come in a wide range of colors.
Mold commonly grows in places with water leakage or seepage issues, particularly in roofs, pipes, walls, plant pots, and anywhere flooding has occurred. Building materials provide organic nutrients that support mold growth. Wet cellulose materials, including drywall, paper and paper products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, wood and wood products support the growth of mold.
Other common materials that can support mold growth include dust, paint, wallpaper, insulation, carpet, and various fabrics.

- Nasal and sinus congestion
- Eye irritation such as burning, watery eyes, and reddened eyes
- Coughs

Reports of these symptoms at home or in the workplace may be a sign that the property should be inspected for fungal growth.
