It's important to understand what mold is and why it grows. Every kind of mold is a fungus, just like mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is toxic to humans is uncommon in the fungi kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't harmful. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold in your home or business must be cleaned up and completely removed.

Government experts recommend that you reach out to a company for help if the mold you discover takes up more than 3 square feet. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably more behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Check credentials before you hire a mold removal company. You may also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.

Mold that is allowed to grow releases spores, which act like seeds and can cause damage to spread very quickly. If you don't, mold damage will continue to feast on your structure and can ruin your things.
