Steps to Take Ensuing Water Damage. Call a Restoration Company

First, let's go over a quick review of mold. Every kind of mold is a fungus, just like mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to humans is relatively uncommon in the fungus world, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be mitigated 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 hidden mold trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Before you schedule an appointment with any company, check that they are certified properly and that they are certified by watchdogs such as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration.

Mold damage left to grow sends off spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can harm your possessions rapidly. If not, mold damage will continue to feast on your structure and will destroy your possessions. Some types of mold, those that release toxic spores, can also cause sever health problems ranging from neurological damage to respiratory and mold-related infections 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.
