That means contacting a mold damage repair company is almost always a good idea. This is because if you see mold, there is probably hidden mold trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.

Before you hire any company, make sure that they are certified properly and that they are certified by trade organizations such as the Restoration Industry Association, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration and Contractor Connection. The State Business Licensing Division 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.

Mold damage left to grow releases spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can cause damage to spread rapidly. If not, mold damage will keep eating on your home or business and will destroy your possessions. Some types of mold, those that release mycotoxins, can also cause sever health problems ranging from brain damage. Mycotoxins can be particularly harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
