Stachybotrys
These stachybotrys molds grow on high cellulose material such as wood, wicker, hay, paper and cardboard. They are also commonly called ‘black mold’ and sometimes ‘toxic black mold’. This mould requires very wet or high humid conditions for days or weeks in order to grow. Common symptoms in humans are dermatitis, pain and inflammation of the mucous membranes, burning sensation in nasal passages, tightness of the chest, cough, nose bleeds, fever, headache and fatigue.

These aspergillus molds can lead to aspergillus sinusitis. Aspergillus is the most common household mold. There are over 185 species of Aspergillus and 22 species are known to cause human illness. Aspergillus fumigatus is the most isolated species followed by Aspergillus flavus. They can be found in almost any home or office. Most are allergens or toxic.

“I called Safeway Restoration after we identified a mold problem in our house. Skip came out on a Saturday of a holiday weekend. He was completely professional, reasonable and very helpful. I have worked with remediation companies through work and Safeway Restoration is a cut above. He checked all the potential problem areas, recommended the low-cost solution of applying an anti-microbial spray ourselves to a couple of minor problem areas and a HEPA air filter for our house…. “

Properly alarmed, I started looking for a mold remediation specialist. Called and researched a number of folks before trying Safeway.
My contact with Skip has been awesome. He worked with me to set up a time and day when he could stop by; I texted my info to his phone (which I liked vs having to have someone repeat/repeat what my info is); and he came on time within his 1 hour window. He explained his process:…. “
