Experts have identified over 100,000 different types of mold, some of which are harmless but many of which are toxic. However, all molds share this general definition: "Mold is a growth of minute fungi forming on vegetable or animal matter, commonly as a furry coating, and associated with decay or dampness."

When a significant mold infestation occurs, it is usually visible to the naked eye and often has a musty smell. If you see or smell anything that seems like mold in your residence or business, do not attempt to remove the mold yourself. Instead, you should immediately contact a mold expert to determine what type of mold it is and how it needs to be treated or removed.

Exposure to a large number of mold spores may cause allergic symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, sneezing, itching, coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, headache, and fatigue. In addition, repeated exposure to mold can increase a person's sensitivity, causing more severe allergic reactions.

Mold is not only potentially dangerous to humans but also household pets, as it can adversely affect many animals' respiratory systems.

Fire, water, and mold damage have several things in common: they all cause foul odors, destroy property, and create utter chaos. Beyond those three truths, however, there is a common element in all three types of disaster and disaster cleanup: water.

Fire damage is caused by three factors: flames, smoke, and the materials used to extinguish the fire. Water is the most commonly used flame-fighting agent due to its availability and inherent cooling effects. While water and mold damage is not a result of the first two factors (flames or smoke), it is caused by the decay and dampness that often follows a fire disaster where hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are used to put out flames. Whether due to fire-fighting or other circumstances, property damage often results when water is an unwelcome guest.

So, in short, the answer to this question is WATER. Water is a highly useful tool for humans and an essential element for life on earth. Yet when it comes to unexpected or uncontained water in our home or business, water can be the catalyst for catastrophe.
