I wish I had known then what I know now—a simple inspection early on could have saved us hundreds of thousands of dollars and spared us from the chronic illness that affected my health. I experienced unexplained migraines, I was stuttering, dealing with memory loss, and fatigue. It wasn’t until a thorough mold inspection that we finally connected the dots.
Throughout this journey, I’ve learned the importance of advocating for yourself. Too often, builders cut corners, using materials that barely meet code without thinking about the long-term impact on your health and home. You need to advocate for your family.
After a 16 months of remediation and rebuilding, we’ve come through the worst of it. (But we are still dealing with unresolved issues from shoddy HVAC work. More on that later) If you’re recovering from Hurricane Helene or any storm, please take mold seriously. Get your home inspected now, and protect your family from the hidden dangers we didn’t see until it was too late.
Why You Need a Mold Inspection:
Hidden mold can wreak havoc, both on your home and on your health, often in ways that take months or years to show up. Toxic mold spores spread quickly and quietly, and they can grow behind walls, in attics, and in your HVAC system—places you might never think to check. Even if you think you’re safe, especially if your home “only” had some minor water damage, mold can still thrive in hidden spaces, and you can contaminate your new space with old items you kept from the flood.
