Our basement flooded twice in the past month. The last flood was about
two weeks ago. A few days ago a dark green fur appeared along the
bottom of our walls in the basement. Also there was a greyish fluff on
the bottom on the ground in several spots.

Is this mold? Is there anyway I can check for sure?

We've only been living in the building since July and there was no
indication of mold until now. Is it possible for mold to appear so
quickly?

What would be the best way to clean it, if it is mold?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


*It's mold and there is probably moisture behind the wall to support its
growth. Most likely this has happened before, but the previous owners did a
good job of covering it up for the sale. I would cut out the entire lower
section of the wall and see what's going on back there.

Do you know why the basement flooded? You will need to address that problem
as well. You might want to consider consulting with several basement
waterproofing companies.
