  • "Doug was friendly and reliable during our interaction. He came out to my house as scheduled and evaluated the water problem in my crawl space and some other drainage issues outside the front of my house. He was very thorough in his quote preparation. I also had some mold/ air quality concerns in my daughter’s room. While at my house, he kindly offered to run an air sample with his equipment to determine if there was any kind of mold or allergy issues. He did this for a very reasonable price compared to other quotes I had received. He sent me detailed lab results of the findings that were very helpful. Overall, Doug has been very attentive and thorough in all of his quotes and work."

Beyond Respiratory Symptoms: A Broader Range of Mold Sickness Symptoms

While respiratory symptoms such as chronic cough, sinusitis, and rhinitis are among the most frequently reported effects of mold exposure, the impact of mold on health can be more extensive and varied. Here are some additional symptoms that have been associated with mold sickness:

  • Neurological Symptoms: Tremors, vertigo, and nerve pain are commonly reported by those exposed to mold. These symptoms can interfere with daily activities and overall quality of life.
  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Abdominal discomfort, nausea, and changes in appetite or bowel habits can also be linked to mold exposure. These symptoms can be particularly distressing and may contribute to a decline in general well-being.
  • Systemic Symptoms: Unexplained weight gain, night sweats, excessive thirst, and frequent urination have been noted in some individuals with mold sickness. These systemic symptoms can affect various aspects of health and comfort.
  • Sensory Symptoms: A metallic taste in the mouth, unusual odors, and static shocks have been reported by individuals experiencing mold-related health issues. These symptoms, while less common, can be disconcerting and contribute to a sense of overall unease.

How to Detect and Respond to Mold Sickness

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, it’s crucial to take action to determine if mold could be the underlying cause. Here’s a step-by-step approach to addressing potential mold-related health concerns:

  1. Schedule a Professional Assessment: As a certified environmental professional, I offer comprehensive mold inspections to identify potential mold sources and assess their impact on your health. Typically, this assessment involves a detailed examination and air sampling. The process usually takes about 20 minutes, and if only air sampling is required, it can be completed in just 5 minutes.
  2. Receive a Detailed Report: After the inspection, you will receive a detailed, twelve-page report from an accredited laboratory. This report will outline the findings, including the type and concentration of mold present, and provide recommendations for remediation.
  3. Address the Source: Identifying and addressing the source of mold is crucial for effective remediation. As a former builder, I understand all phases of construction and can provide practical advice on eliminating contributing factors, such as water intrusion or inadequate ventilation.
  4. Implement Remedial Actions: Based on the findings of the inspection, I will recommend specific remedial actions to address the mold issue. This may include professional mold removal, improving ventilation, or making structural changes to prevent future mold growth.
  5. Consider a Transferable Warranty: To provide added peace of mind, I offer a transferable warranty on my services, contingent on the cessation of contributing sources. This warranty underscores my commitment to ensuring your home remains mold-free.
  6. Stay Informed and Proactive: Regular maintenance and vigilance are key to preventing mold-related issues. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially if you are considering selling your home. Investigate potential water intrusion risks and address any issues promptly to avoid mold-related complications.

Why Air Quality Matters

As a certified yoga instructor, I understand the connection between diet, overall health, and environmental factors. The quality of the air you breathe is as important as the food you consume. Mold exposure can compromise air quality, leading to a range of health issues. Addressing mold-related concerns not only improves your home’s air quality but also contributes to your overall well-being.
