How can I tell if I have mold damage?

Mold can be found anywhere, indoors and outdoors.  Generally, it is found in damp areas, such as the basement or bathroom, and can be green, black, orange, or purple in color.  Mold has a musty, earthy smell that can indicate its presence even if it cannot be seen.

Should I try to clean smoke and soot damage from my belongings after a fire?

No.  In many cases, trying to remove soot or smoke damage from your items may cause more damage.  A professional will be able to assess the damage and determine the best course of action to take in cleaning your damaged items.
