Hiring an experienced mold remediation and water damage restoration professional, one who's certified in mold inspections and mold removal, can be one of the best things you can do for your family, your employees and for yourself. <br /> <br />Why is mold such a threat, though? Mold, very often caused by water damage, is a living organism - it is capable of causing the same type of irritation as the worst allergic reaction can - and sometimes more. Mold removal is extremely difficult, and whilst it's still growing, mold can cause eye and skin irritation; as well as a variety of mold related illnesses or diseases.
