If You've Experienced a Deluge and Need to Phone a Mold Removal Service

It's important to understand what mold is and why it grows. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is toxic to you and your family is relatively rare in the fungus world, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be cleaned up and completely removed.

That means contacting a mold damage repair company is the best plan. This is because if you see mold, there is probably more trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Before you schedule an appointment with anyone, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are approved by trade organizations such as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection.

You need to mitigate any mold growth you find to prevent further toxicity risk, and do it right away. If you don't, harmful mold will continue to feast on your home or business and can ruin your possessions. Some types of mold, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause major health risks ranging from brain damage. Mycotoxins can be particularly dangerous for infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
