General information about mold and moisture — not medical advice.

The content on DampGuard Lab is provided for general informational and educational purposes about dehumidifiers, damp, indoor humidity and mold. It is not medical or health advice, and it is not a substitute for professional mold assessment or remediation.

When to call a professional

Following EPA guidance, mold covering more than about 10 square feet, mold hidden inside walls, ceilings or HVAC systems, contamination from sewage or flood water, and any situation involving health symptoms should be handled by a certified mold remediation professional — not a DIY guide. If you have breathing problems or other health concerns you believe are linked to mold, talk to a doctor.
