What kind of mold do we have? Is this the bad black mold?

Probably the most common two questions we get are what kind is it and is it the bad black stuff?   Both are great questions, but not questions we cannot answer and ones that don't have much impact in how we remediate the affected areas.  

If or when you hire a Mold Assessment Consultant  (MAC)  they may take some samples which would tell them the types and levels.  The principal behind mold remediation is to remove it all regardless of what kind it is. 

SERVPRO of Hyde Park / Central Austin has been remediating mold since before the mold regulations existed.

It is our recommendation to not focus too much on the type of mold you have.  Pay more attention to the resume of your MAC and Mold Remediation Contractor.
