First, let's go over a quick primer on mold. Every kind of mold is a fungus, just like mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is toxic to you and your family is relatively uncommon in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

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

Before you schedule an appointment with any expert, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are approved by watchdogs such as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection.

Mold damage that is allowed to grow sends off spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can cause damage to spread very quickly. If you don't, parasitic fungi will keep eating on your structure and will ruin your possessions.
