Water Damaged My Home. What Do You Do Now?

You shoud learn about what mold is and why it grows. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is toxic to you and your family is uncommon in the fungus kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't harmful. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be mitigated and completely removed.

That means reaching out to a a mold damage repair company is best. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably more trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Check credentials before you hire a mold removal company. The State Business Licensing Division is a good place to get started, and you can check for approval by groups such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. You can also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

You should mitigate any fungal growth you come across to stop further mold damage, and do it right away. If not, mold damage will keep eating on your structure and can destroy your things. Some types of mold, those that release toxic spores, can also cause sever health risks ranging from neurological damage to respiratory and mold-related infections and ongoing ill health. Mycotoxins can be particularly harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
