It's important to understand what mold is and why it grows. All molds are fungi, and share biology with mushrooms and athlete's foot, for example. The mold that is dangerous to humans is relatively uncommon in the fungus world, meaning most kinds aren't dangerous. However, some are dangerous, so any mold you find indoors must be mitigated and completely removed.
Government experts recommend that you call a black mold remediation Arlington VA company for assistance if the mold growth takes up more than 3 square feet. This is because if you see mold, there is probably hidden mold trapped in drywall and crevices and elsewhere.
Check credentials before you hire a mold removal company. The State Office of Consumer Protection is a good place to get started, and you can check for affiliations such as as the Contractor Connection, Restoration Industry Association and the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. You may also make sure the company knows and follows federal mold cleanup recommendations whether your mold is in a business or a residence.
You need to mitigate any mold growth you find to stop further harm, and do it now. If not, mold growths will keep eating on your home or business and will ruin your things.
