Worried About Mold in Your Tolland County Home?
If you suspect mold is affecting your health or damaging your home, you’re not alone—and you’re right to take it seriously. Mold problems often hide behind walls, under floors, or in the air you breathe, and what you don’t see can absolutely hurt you.
Why Mold Is More Than Just a Nuisance
Many people in Tolland County are shocked to learn just how easily mold can grow in their homes. Whether it’s a leaky basement, humid attic, or poorly ventilated bathroom, all it takes is a bit of moisture and time. Unfortunately, by the time you see or smell mold, it’s often been growing for weeks—or even months.
Common reasons people believe they may have mold include:
• A persistent musty odor that won’t go away
• Recent water leaks, floods, or moisture issues
• Seeing discoloration or spots on walls, ceilings, or behind furniture
• Ongoing allergy symptoms that seem to worsen indoors
• Worsening asthma or respiratory issues inside the home
How Mold Impacts Your Health
Living with mold isn’t just unpleasant—it can be harmful to your health. Even people without allergies can experience symptoms from mold exposure. Those with existing health conditions, young children, and elderly individuals are especially at risk.
Potential health effects include:
• Chronic coughing and sneezing
• Eye, nose, and throat irritation
• Shortness of breath and chest tightness
• Increased asthma attacks or difficulty controlling symptoms
• Skin rashes or sensitivity
• Brain fog and fatigue
Long-term exposure can lead to more serious complications, especially with toxic molds like Stachybotrys (black mold). That’s why early identification and proper remediation are critical.
Popular Testing Methods for Mold and Indoor Air Quality
At Nash Everett, we understand that peace of mind starts with clear answers. If you think you have mold, we use advanced testing techniques to confirm it and pinpoint the source. Our indoor air quality assessments and mold tests help identify both visible and hidden issues, offering the clarity you need to make informed decisions.
Some of the methods we use include:
• Air sampling to detect mold spores in your breathing space
• Surface sampling on visible mold growth
• Moisture mapping and thermal imaging to locate hidden water sources
• Humidity level testing and indoor air quality analysis
• VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and allergen screening for a comprehensive evaluation
These tests not only confirm the presence of mold but help determine the type and concentration so you understand what you’re dealing with.
