Aloha! Our local Hawaii and Maui teams are trained and certified to restore mold damage. The Big Island of Hawaii's diverse climate zones, ranging from tropical rainforests to dry, arid areas, support various mold spores. Common mold species found in Keauhou include:
- Cladosporium is one of the most common types of molds found in outdoor and indoor environments. It thrives in Hawaii's humid climate and can grow on wood, textiles, and other organic materials.
- Aspergillus: This mold species is prevalent in warm, humid climates like Hawaii's. It can be found in soil, plants, and decaying organic matter. Some species of Aspergillus can also grow indoors, particularly in areas with water damage or high humidity.
- Penicillium: This mold type grows in damp areas and is often found on food, insulation, and water-damaged building materials.
- Alternaria: Frequently found in outdoor environments, Alternaria spores can also enter homes and grow on damp surfaces like windowsills, showers, or any area with high moisture content.
- Stachybotrys (commonly known as black mold): While less common, this mold can appear in Hawaii when there is significant water damage.
- Fusarium: This mold is often found in Hawaii's tropical zones and thrives on water-damaged fabrics, carpets, and building materials.
