Water Damaged My Home. Now What?

First, let's go over a quick review of what mold is. Every kind of mold is a fungus, and share biology with mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is dangerous to humans is rare in the fungus kingdom, meaning most kinds you find in your house or business aren't dangerous. However, some 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. If you see mold, there is probably more behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Before you schedule an appointment with anyone, check that they are certified properly and that they are certified by 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.

You should clean up any fungal growth you find to prevent further mold damage, and do it right away. If not, harmful mold will keep eating on your structure and will ruin your things.
