First, let's go over a quick review of what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is toxic to people is relatively uncommon in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't harmful. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

That means calling a mold damage repair company is the best plan. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably hidden mold behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Before you choose any company, make sure 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 Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to begin, 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 should clean up any mold growth you find to stop further toxicity risk, and do it now. If not, harmful mold will continue to feast on your structure and can ruin your possessions. Some molds, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause major health problems ranging from neurological damage to respiratory and mold-related illnesses and ongoing ill health. 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.
