First, let's go over a quick review of what mold is. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is toxic to people is rare in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be mitigated and completely removed.
The rule of thumb is to contact a mold remediation contractor Denver CO company to clean up the mold if it is more than 36 square inches.. This is because if you see mold, there is probably more behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.
Check licensing and certifications before you hire a mold removal company.
Mold left to grow sends off spores, which act like seeds and can cause damage to spread in short order. If you don't, harmful mold will continue to feast on your home or business and can ruin your things. Some molds, those that release toxic spores, can also cause sever health risks ranging from brain damage. Mycotoxins can be particularly harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system .
