A Nashville homeowner reached out to Claro after a roof leak in his newly built home led to visible mold growth. Contractors had already removed the damaged drywall and performed a traditional remediation, claiming the issue was resolved.
But with young children in the home, the homeowner wasn’t willing to take chances. He wanted to be sure the space was truly safe—beyond what could be seen.
Claro conducted a professional mold test, which revealed elevated levels of Stachybotrys chartarum—commonly known as black mold. Check out these two tests. The left is the main living area (which had the black mold) and right one is the baby room - no black mold but still high levels.
Black mold is one of the most concerning indoor molds due to its ability to produce mycotoxins that can affect the respiratory, immune, and neurological systems. In young children, exposure has been linked to chronic coughing, sinus infections, fatigue, and even developmental concerns over time.
This discovery came as no surprise. In many cases, traditional mold remediation focuses on visible removal—wiping or replacing contaminated materials—without addressing airborne spores or residual toxins that linger in the air and on surfaces.
Using our dry fog system, we treated the space to neutralize airborne spores and toxins without demolition or harsh chemicals. A follow-up test confirmed zero Stachybotrys markers post-treatment as you can see below. No further remediation was needed.
This case highlights a common issue: even after a “successful” remediation, toxic mold can remain undetected without proper testing. With targeted treatment, this family now has confidence that their home is truly safe.
