Why does this keep happening in my toilet every month?

Happens every month and a deep clean with mold armor cleans temporarily. Happens in all toilets (SoCal), seems to have gotten worse. Any ideas?

Advice mold in new build flat (renting)

Me and my partner have been renting a new build flat since October. We've had non stop mold growth which then stains the walls. There where no signs of mold when we moved in. Any suggestions its stained the walls?

Is this mold?

I didn't even know this part of the lid came off and I definitely dont wash it enough since i only use it for water, but when i do i just put it in the dishwasher and dont really look closely at the lid. Its a stanley cup. Not even looking for a yes or no just wondering what the likelihood is that it IS mold (Reddit won’t let me edit the title, but imagine its something more like “how screwed am i”)

Like- ive been consistently using this cup damn near daily (like 5 days of the week) for over a year. i should definitely probably see a doctor right?

Especially considering that since April of last year ive had progressively worsening respiratory issues, fatigue, my hypermobility related joint pain has been rapidly worsening, and ive been consistently sick for months with sinus drainage without much explanation- which is whats making me really worried that this is mold because i know all of those are potential symptoms of mold exposure which would make sense

IM NOT ASKING FOR MEDICAL ADVICE and Im definitely still gonna talk to my doctor just kinda freaked out rn and thought it may potentially be useful context in figuring out if this is mold

there was more on the other side of the lid but i forgot to take a picture before throwing it in a bowl of vinegar

They are hesitant on getting a second opinion and content on avoiding the hassle, but I worry this is not good for them, former smokers with sleep apnea in their mid-to-late 60s. The square vent is on the ceiling above their bed.

Fans in crawl space?

Hello,

I recently hired an environmental specialist to assess a property I’m thinking of buying.

He suggested fans in the crawl space. He mentioned it’s absolutely necessary considering my mold sensitivity. He found mold on card board under the home which will be removed.

It’s going to cost around 3k for the fan installation. I’ve been reading conflicting things about fans in the crawl space. Some say it can actually draw humidity into it.

Any input is appreciated.

What's this in my basement? England, UK

Was just in my basement and spotted this. It is damp, but not excessively so.

Absolutely no idea what is could be and reverse image searching isn't too obvious.

(And any suggestions on how to fix it?)

Is this black mold or water damage

Cat peed on floors after baby was born, (cat room, not babies room) ripped up the carpet and found this. Can’t tell if black mold or water damage.

Old Apartment Mildew Smell traveled via Hair Dryer - help me rid the smell!!

My old apartment smelled like mildew/must/maybe mold - its like a gross, kinda sweet smell. When I moved, I washed all of my clothes and wiped down surfaces. However, a week ago I opened my bathroom cabinets and a whoosh of the smell came out. I realized the smell traveled to my new place via my hair dryer :(

The cabinets under my sink now smell like that familiar smell. So far, I have tried airing it out with the bathroom fan on, putting baking soda down, and having maintenance come scrub it down.

But the smell hasn’t dissipated and now I’m starting to catch whiffs of it when my AC/heat kicks on. I’ve replaced the air filter to one that says it traps mold and allergens, but should I be worried that my bathroom fan has spread this smell to the rest of my apartment? What should I do??

Do I have a problem?

I recently moved into a new condos and discovered this in the air vent when i was changing the filters? Is this mold or just dust? And if it is mold, how can I deal with it?

Is this mold?

There is some sort of white substance dripping from ceiling in my storage unit in basement and is very corrosive to metal. Its doesn’t appear to be actually wet, it seems to drip very slowly and then becomes a kind of white powder on the ground.
