First, let's go over a quick primer on mold. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is dangerous to humans is relatively uncommon in the fungi 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 mitigated and completely removed.

That means reaching out to a a mold damage repair company is almost always a good idea. If you see mold growth, there is probably hidden mold behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Before you hire any expert, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are certified by organizations such as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection.

Mold that is allowed to grow sends off spores, which act like seeds and can cause damage to spread rapidly. If not, mold damage will continue to feast on your home or business and will destroy your things.
