First, let's go over a quick review of what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, just like mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is toxic to humans is uncommon in the fungus kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be mitigated and completely removed.
Government experts recommend that you reach out to a mold removal and remediation Hanover NH company for cleanup help if the mold growth takes up more than 3 square feet. This is because if you see mold, there is probably more behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.
Check credentials before you hire a mold removal company. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to start, and you should check for affiliations such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. You might also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.
Mold left to grow releases spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can cause damage to spread rapidly. If you don't, harmful mold will continue to feast on your structure and will destroy your things. Some molds, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause major health risks ranging from brain damage. Mold in the environment can be particularly dangerous for infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system .
