It's important to learn about what mold is and where it thrives. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to you and your family is relatively rare in the fungi world, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't dangerous. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

That means reaching out to a a mold damage repair company is best. This is because if you see mold, there is probably hidden mold trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Check licensing and certifications before you hire a mold removal company. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to get started, and you can check for affiliations such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration.

Mold damage that is allowed to grow sends off spores, which act like seeds and can cause damage to spread very quickly. If not, harmful mold will continue to feast on your structure and can destroy your possessions.
