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 toxic to humans is relatively rare in the fungus world, meaning most kinds aren't harmful. 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 the best plan. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably hidden mold trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Check credentials before you hire a mold removal company.

You need to remove any fungal growth you find to prevent further harm, and do it right away. If you don't, harmful mold will keep eating on your structure and will destroy your things. Some molds, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause sever health risks ranging from neurological damage to breathing problems and mold-related illnesses and ongoing ill health. Mold can be particularly harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
