First, let's go over a quick primer on what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, just like mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is toxic to humans is relatively uncommon in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't harmful. However, some are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be cleaned up and completely removed.

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

Before you select any expert, check that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are certified by groups such as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. The State Business Licensing Division is a good place to get started, and you should check for approval by groups such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. You may also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

You should mitigate any mold growth you find to prevent further harm, and do it now. If you don't, mold damage will keep eating on your structure and will destroy your things. Some types of mold, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause major health problems ranging from brain damage. Mold in the environment can be particularly dangerous for infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
