First, let's go over a quick review of what mold is. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is dangerous to people is relatively rare in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't dangerous. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be mitigated 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 behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Check licensing and certifications before you hire a mold damage cleanup service. The State Business Licensing Division is a good place to start, and you should check for affiliations such as as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection. You might also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

Mold that is allowed to grow sends off spores, which act like seeds and can cause damage to spread in short order. If not, harmful mold will keep eating on your structure and will destroy your possessions. Some molds, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause sever health risks ranging from neurological damage to respiratory and mold-related illnesses and generally poor health. Mycotoxins can be especially harmful to babies and kinds
