Black Mold
Mildew or mold (also known as black mold or toxic mold) is a type of fungi that develops and grows on surfaces in the form of powdery or downy substance. Humid/damp surfaces in combination with a very moderate temperature and sufficient amount of light provide the best conditions for mold growth. The toxic mold grows on walls, wood, clothes, food, carpets or any article such sofa (made of leather) etc. The mold growth is not confined only to walls, clothes and surfaces of furniture, it also can grow inside the equipments like air conditioners, HVAC systems etc.

If you have allergy symptoms year-round — or if they get worse in damp weather — you may be allergic to mold. While people with pollen allergies tend to have seasonal symptoms, mold allergies can flare all year long. Indoor mold can be a problem in winter months, because mold will grow in your house where there is enough moisture — whether it’s on a basement wall, in your crawl space, a damp carpet, or behind the bathroom tile.
You may not even realize the mold is there — but if you’re sensitive you’ll react with coughing, wheezing, stuffy nose, or irritated eyes.

MILFORD – The stain on the bedroom carpet should have been a tip-off.
Debra and Ron Shusterman noticed the six-inch long brown spot during a walk-through of their new home in May 2008.
But the house at 170 Badger Hill Drive had served as a model for the recent phase of the Badger Hill development, and everyone thought it was just a coffee or soda stain.
Four months after the couple moved in, heavy rain from a nor’easter sent water into the house, damaging and discoloring the ceiling and wall of the second-floor bedroom, right near the carpet stain, indicating it was not spilled coffee or soda but the result of a leak.
