First, let's go over a quick primer on mold. All molds are fungi, just like mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to you and your family is rare in the fungus kingdom, 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 mitigated and completely removed.

That means contacting a mold damage repair company is the best plan. When you see any frightening amount of mold growth, though, it's smart to reach out for help from mold damage cleanup. The best mold removal services can help you test for hidden mold in other places around the house using tools such as temperature sensors, moisture detectors and more.

Before you select anyone, check that they are certified properly and that they are approved by watchdogs such as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to get started, and you can check for affiliations such as as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection. You can also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

Mold damage that is allowed to grow sends off spores, which act like seeds and can cause damage to spread very quickly. If you don't, harmful mold will keep eating on your home or business and can destroy your things. Some types of mold, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause major health problems ranging from neurological damage to respiratory and mold-related illnesses and generally poor health. Mold can be especially harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
