First, let's go over a quick primer on mold. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is toxic to people is relatively uncommon in the fungus world, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't harmful. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.
That means reaching out to a a mold damage repair company is the best plan. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably hidden mold 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 can check for affiliations 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.
You should remove any fungal growth you find to prevent further mold damage, and do it right away. If not, harmful mold will continue to feast on your home or business and can destroy your possessions.
