First, let's go over a quick review of what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is toxic to people is rare in the fungus kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't harmful. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be cleaned up and completely removed.

That means calling a mold damage repair company is almost always a good idea. If you see mold growth, there is probably more trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Before you schedule an appointment with any company, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are certified by organizations such as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration.

You need to clean up any mold you come across to stop further mold damage, and do it right away. If you don't, mold growths will continue to feast on your structure and will destroy your things. Some molds, those that release toxic spores, can also cause sever health problems ranging from brain damage. Mycotoxins can be especially dangerous for infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system .
