Professional Mold Testing & Mold Remediation in Southeastern Kentucky

HydroCore Restoration provides professional mold testing and mold remediation for homes and properties throughout Southeastern Kentucky. We help identify mold concerns, locate moisture sources, and create a clear plan for addressing the problem safely and effectively.

What Types of Mold Could Be in Your Home?

​

Posted below are just a few examples of the many types of mold that may be found inside homes, crawl spaces, basements, bathrooms, attics, and other moisture-prone areas.

Mold can vary greatly in color, texture, appearance, and location. Because of that, mold should not be identified by appearance alone. Professional testing can help determine what may be present and whether further remediation is appropriate.

​

Scientists estimate that there are millions of fungal species worldwide, and mold is only one broad group within the fungal kingdom. Indoors, some of the more commonly encountered molds include Cladosporium, Penicillium, Aspergillus, and Alternaria.

​

The examples below are only a small look at what may potentially be found in a home.

At HydroCore Restoration, we offer professional mold testing and mold remediation to help identify mold concerns, investigate the underlying moisture source, and determine the appropriate next steps for your property.

Cladosporium treated by Hydrocore

Cladosporium

is very common, and for most healthy people the main risks are allergy and respiratory irritation, especially with repeated or heavy exposure.

Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold) Treated by Hydrocore

Stachybotrys chartarum (Black Mold)

Some strains of Stachybotrys can produce mycotoxins, but simply seeing black mold does not tell you whether toxins are present or how hazardous the exposure is

Aspergillus treated by hydrocore

Aspergillus

Some people can develop allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), especially those with asthma or cystic fibrosis.

serious risk is in people with weakened immune systems, where Fusarium can sometimes cause an invasive fungal infection that spreads beyond the original site and may involve the bloodstream, lungs, skin, or other organs.
