First, let's go over a quick review of mold. Every kind of mold is a fungus, just like mushrooms and lichens, for example. The mold that is dangerous to you and your family is uncommon in the fungus kingdom, meaning most kinds aren't harmful. However, some toxic molds are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be cleaned up and completely removed.

You could consider contacting these black mold remediation company Mount Vernon NY companies even if you see less mold. If you see mold growth, there is probably hidden mold behind walls, in attics and elsewhere.

Check credentials before you hire a mold damage cleanup service. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to begin, and you can check for approval by groups such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration.

You should mitigate any fungal growth you find to stop further mold damage, and do it now. If you don't, mold growths will keep eating on your structure and can destroy your things.
