First, let's go over a quick review of mold. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is dangerous to people is relatively uncommon in the fungi world, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

That means contacting a mold damage repair company is the best plan. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably more trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Before you hire any expert, check that they are certified properly and that they are approved by organizations such 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.

Mold left to grow releases spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can cause damage to spread very quickly. If you don't, harmful mold will keep eating on your structure and will ruin your possessions.
