First, let's go over a quick primer on what mold is. All molds are fungi, just like mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to people is relatively rare in the fungus 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.

You should think about contacting these black mold remediation company Portland ME companies even if you see less mold. This is because if you see mold, there is probably more behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Check credentials before you hire a mold removal company. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to begin, and you should check for approval by groups such as as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection. 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 that is allowed to grow releases spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can cause damage to spread in short order. If you don't, parasitic fungi will keep eating on your home or business and can destroy your things.
