Common Types of Mold in Homes
- Aspergillus mold is a very common type of fungus typically found indoors and virtually all over the world. Allergic aspergillosis is a condition that occurs when people inhale the microscopic spores of aspergillus, causing an immune response in the body that can include a high fever, asthma attacks, and coughing up blood and mucus.
- Cladosporium is a type of mold often found growing inside homes. While most types of mold prefer warm climates, cladosporium can grow in cool areas, too. It often grows on fabrics, like carpets, and on wood surfaces, like cabinets and floorboards. It can cause a variety of respiratory problems.
- Chaetomium is said to be the third most common type of mold found in damp buildings. It can be found on all sorts of water-damaged building materials, including wallpaper, drywall, window frames, baseboards and carpets. The mold produces an enzyme called cellulase, which breaks down the cellulose in these materials, literally destroying them.
- Ulocladium requires a lot of water, so it frequently grows in areas with extensive water damage, including homes that have been flooded. It’s often found growing on wet walls. Many people are allergic to ulocladium.
- Fusarium is another of the mold types that, like cladosporium, can grow and spread at lower temperatures. It’s often found growing on water-damaged carpeting and other fabrics. It causes allergic reactions, asthma, and respiratory infections. People with compromised immune systems are particularly vulnerable to infections due to fusarium exposure.
- Penicillium is often found growing on materials that have been damaged by water, including carpeting, wallpaper, insulation, and furnishings like mattresses. It’s one of the mold types that spread quickly and easily from one part of the home to another. Exposure to penicillium can cause allergic reactions, chronic sinus infections, and inflammation of the lungs.
- Stachybotrys is often referred to as “black mold” due to its slimy black appearance. It’s sometimes referred to as “toxic mold”. It can cause allergic reactions, breathing problems, chronic sinus infections, asthma attacks, fatigue, and depression. Stachybotrys has a characteristic musty odor and usually grows in places that stay damp all the time, like in air conditioning ducts where there is a lot of condensation or around leaky pipes.
NOT Mold
- Efflorescence are often confused with white mold in basements. Efflorescence is a crystaline, salty deposit that occurs on the surfaces of bricks, concrete and other masonry products. Water from the grounds surface can often be the cause of efflorescence.

Mold Removal FAQs
Mold releases mycotoxins that can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory problems, allergic reactions, headaches, skin irritation, and fatigue. Young children, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are especially vulnerable. If you suspect mold, it's important to act quickly.
No. Household cleaners like bleach can actually cause mold to spread rather than eliminate it. Professional mold remediation requires proper containment, air filtration, and removal techniques to ensure mold is fully eradicated without spreading spores to unaffected areas. PRS technicians are IICRC S520-certified for safe and effective mold removal.
Common signs of mold include a persistent musty odor, visible mold growth (often black, green, or white), water stains on walls or ceilings, recent water damage, and unexplained allergic symptoms. PRS offers free mold inspections and air quality testing to determine if mold is present and the extent of contamination.
PRS's mold remediation process includes a thorough mold inspection, air quality testing, containment of affected areas to prevent spore spread, safe removal of mold-contaminated materials, HEPA air filtration, cleaning and sanitizing, and repair of any structural damage caused by the mold.
Most residential mold remediation projects take 1–5 days depending on the size of the affected area and severity of the contamination. PRS will provide a detailed timeline after the initial inspection so you know what to expect.
Professional mold remediation eliminates the existing mold and addresses the moisture source that caused it. As long as the underlying moisture issue is resolved—such as a leak or drainage problem—mold should not return. PRS identifies and addresses the root cause as part of every remediation project.
