You shoud learn about what mold is and where it thrives. 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 fungi world, meaning most kinds aren't harmful. However, some molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.
The rule of thumb is to contact a Mold remediation company to get rid of the mold if it is more than 36 square inches.. This is because if you see mold growth, there is probably hidden mold behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.
Before you select any company, make sure that they are licensed and registered properly and that they are certified by organizations such as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. The State Business Licensing Division is a good place to begin, and you should check for approval by groups such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration.
Mold that is allowed to grow sends off spores, which fly like dandelion seeds and can harm your possessions very quickly. If you don't, parasitic fungi will keep eating on your home or business and will destroy your things. Some types of mold, those that release toxic spores, can also cause sever health risks ranging from brain damage. Mold can be especially harmful to infants, children, and anyone with a compromised immune system such as people with AIDS/HIV or lupus.
