Concerned About Mold in Your Lancaster County Home?
If you’re dealing with a musty smell, mysterious health symptoms, or visible signs of mold, it’s natural to want answers—and fast. Mold problems don’t just affect how your home looks and smells; they can impact your health and peace of mind if not addressed correctly.
Why Mold Is More Than Just a Nuisance
Mold thrives in damp, humid, or poorly ventilated spaces—something that can happen in any home, especially after a water leak or during humid Pennsylvania summers. Many homeowners don’t realize they have a mold problem until it begins affecting their health.
You might suspect mold if you’ve noticed:
• Persistent musty odors that don’t go away
• Discoloration or stains on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Family members frequently experiencing allergy-like symptoms indoors
• A recent water event—leak, flood, or plumbing issue
These signs could indicate more than surface-level issues. Mold can be hidden behind drywall, under carpeting, or inside HVAC systems.
How Mold Can Affect Your Health
Mold exposure doesn’t affect everyone the same way, but it can lead to serious health concerns—especially for children, the elderly, and people with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Common symptoms associated with mold exposure include:
• Chronic coughing, sneezing, or sinus congestion
• Itchy or watery eyes
• Skin rashes
• Headaches or fatigue
• Worsening asthma or breathing problems
Long-term exposure, particularly to toxic mold varieties like black mold (Stachybotrys), can be even more dangerous, leading to neurological symptoms or long-lasting respiratory damage.
How Do You Know If You Have Mold?
Professional indoor air quality testing is the most accurate way to determine if mold is present in your home. At Nash Everett, we use advanced testing techniques to detect:
• Airborne mold spores
• Surface mold contamination
• Moisture levels and potential hidden water intrusion
• Toxic material presence
If our inspection confirms mold, we create a personalized remediation plan based on the type, location, and extent of contamination.
What Mold Remediation Actually Involves
If mold is found, it’s important to act quickly and correctly. Mold doesn’t go away with simple cleaning—it requires professional containment and removal strategies to eliminate it safely and thoroughly.
Our remediation process may include:
• Isolating the contaminated area to prevent spread
• HEPA vacuuming and air filtration to remove airborne spores
• Removing affected materials like drywall or insulation
• Cleaning and sanitizing surfaces with antifungal and antimicrobial treatments
• Identifying and correcting the source of moisture to prevent future issues
We also offer post-remediation testing to ensure your home’s air is clean and safe.
