Concerned About Mold in Your Hartford County Home?
If you’re noticing musty odors, unexplained health symptoms, or visible spots on your walls, it’s natural to wonder if mold might be the cause. Mold can hide behind walls, under flooring, or in your HVAC system—making it critical to investigate and act quickly.
Why People Suspect Mold or Poor Indoor Air Quality
Mold doesn’t always show itself clearly. Many Hartford County residents contact us because they’re experiencing common warning signs like:
-
Persistent allergy symptoms that improve when they leave the home
-
A damp or earthy smell that won’t go away
-
Past water damage or leaks, even if the area has dried
-
Stains or discoloration on ceilings, walls, or basement surfaces
-
Family members getting sick more often with no clear cause
Even if mold isn’t visibly growing, hidden contamination can continue to impact your health and comfort.
Health Risks from Untreated Mold Exposure
When mold spores are inhaled regularly, especially in confined or poorly ventilated areas, they can cause a range of health problems. Children, older adults, and individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems are especially at risk.
Common symptoms and health effects include:
-
Chronic coughing or sneezing
-
Headaches and sinus congestion
-
Skin rashes or irritation
-
Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
-
Worsening asthma or other respiratory conditions
Long-term exposure without remediation can worsen these effects over time and even contribute to serious respiratory infections.
What Tests Can Detect Mold or Air Quality Issues?
The right test depends on your situation. At Nash Everett, we offer a range of professional testing services tailored to uncover both obvious and hidden air quality threats:
-
Air Sampling: Detects airborne mold spores and their concentration levels
-
Surface Swab Testing: Identifies mold types growing on visible surfaces
-
Humidity and Moisture Mapping: Finds areas where moisture buildup could lead to mold
-
VOC Testing: Assesses chemical pollutants that may contribute to poor indoor air quality
-
ERMI Testing: A highly sensitive DNA-based method to determine mold levels in dust samples
Our assessments help you understand not only if mold is present, but where it’s coming from—and whether it poses a health risk.
What Happens If Mold Is Found?
If mold is confirmed, our remediation process focuses on safe, effective, and lasting results:
-
Isolate the affected area to prevent cross-contamination
-
Use air scrubbers and HEPA filtration to clean the air
-
Remove contaminated materials as needed (e.g., drywall, carpet)
-
Treat all remaining surfaces with eco-friendly antimicrobial agents
-
Address the root cause—often poor ventilation or moisture buildup—to prevent recurrence
We approach each Hartford County property with care, using the right combination of expertise and equipment to restore a healthy indoor environment.
