Toxic Mold Increase for Plainfield

As an experienced mold inspector, I have seen only the rare case of toxic mold (or Black Mold) in the Plainfield area.  But, the rise of toxigenci mold seems to be increasing.  This may be the result of a spat of vacant homes during the last eight years due to foreclosures, or the aging of area homes.  Nonetheless, no one should take the presence or smell of mold lightly.  While, many mold types are generally allergenic, some are toxigenic.  In other words they can make you sick.
