First, let's go over a quick primer on what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to you and your family is relatively uncommon in the fungus kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't dangerous. However, some are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be mitigated and completely removed.

That means reaching out to a a mold damage repair company is almost always a good idea. If you see mold, there is probably hidden mold behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Check licensing and certifications before you hire a mold removal company. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to begin, and you should check for approval by groups such as 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.

Mold damage left to grow releases spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can cause damage to spread in short order. If you don't, harmful mold will keep eating on your structure and will ruin your possessions.
