First, let's go over a quick review of mold. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to humans is uncommon in the fungi world, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't dangerous. 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. This is because if you see mold, there is probably more behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Before you schedule an appointment with anyone, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are certified by watchdogs 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 damage left to grow releases spores, which act like seeds and can harm your possessions in short order. If you don't, mold damage will keep eating on your structure and can ruin your possessions. Some molds, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause major health risks ranging from brain damage. Mold can be especially harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system .
