It's important to understand what mold is and where it thrives. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is dangerous to you and your family is relatively rare in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't harmful. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be mitigated 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 trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Before you choose any company, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are certified by watchdogs such as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection. You might also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

You need to clean up any mold growth you find to prevent further toxicity risk, and do it now. If not, mold damage will keep eating on your structure and can ruin your things.
