Concerned About Mold in Your New London County Home?
If you’ve noticed a musty smell, unexplained allergies, or suspicious spots on your walls, you’re not alone. Mold issues are incredibly common in New London County due to the area’s seasonal humidity and older building structures—but the good news is, they’re treatable with the right expertise.
Why Mold is More Than Just a Nuisance
Mold is not only unsightly—it’s also a hidden threat to your health and property. It often grows quietly behind walls, under carpets, or in crawlspaces, gradually worsening over time. Many homeowners ignore early signs of mold, only to face more serious health symptoms or structural damage later on. If you’re experiencing recurring respiratory issues or worsening allergy symptoms inside your home, undetected mold could be the cause.
Health Symptoms That May Be Linked to Mold Exposure
The effects of mold on your health can vary depending on your sensitivity and the severity of exposure. Common symptoms include:
-
Persistent coughing or sneezing
-
Sinus congestion or headaches
-
Itchy eyes, skin rashes, or sore throat
-
Asthma flare-ups or difficulty breathing indoors
-
Fatigue that seems to worsen at home
In households with infants, elderly residents, or individuals with compromised immune systems, mold can escalate health issues significantly. Identifying and eliminating it becomes not just a matter of comfort, but of safety.
How Do You Know If Mold or Poor Air Quality is to Blame?
Most people begin to suspect mold due to physical symptoms or visible discoloration on walls and ceilings. But mold isn’t always easy to spot—and poor indoor air quality can also trigger similar health reactions. Some of the most common reasons people reach out include:
-
A musty or damp odor in certain areas of the home
-
History of water damage or leaks, especially in basements or bathrooms
-
Visible black, green, or grayish spots on walls, tile grout, or wood
-
Chronic health symptoms that improve when away from home
To get clarity, professional testing is the most reliable step forward.
Popular Testing Methods for Mold and Indoor Air Quality
At Nash Everett, we use industry-proven techniques to determine whether mold is present and if indoor air quality is compromised. Our testing services include:
-
Air sampling to detect mold spores and allergens circulating in your home
-
Surface sampling for suspected areas of mold growth
-
Moisture mapping and infrared imaging to locate hidden water intrusion
-
VOC and particulate testing to assess overall air purity
These tests allow us to pinpoint what’s happening in your environment, even when symptoms are vague or mold isn’t visibly obvious.
What Happens If Mold is Confirmed?
If mold is identified, our team will develop a remediation plan tailored to your property. Mold remediation involves much more than cleaning up the surface—it requires a comprehensive approach to ensure it doesn’t return.
Our remediation process typically includes:
-
Isolating contaminated areas to prevent further spread
-
Removing affected materials when necessary (e.g., drywall, insulation)
-
Treating surfaces with antimicrobial agents
-
Drying and dehumidifying affected spaces
-
Re-testing to verify successful removal
We also educate you on how to prevent future mold issues through improved ventilation, moisture control, and maintenance practices.
Why New London County Homes Are Especially Vulnerable
The shoreline climate, seasonal humidity swings, and older housing stock in New London County make the area particularly prone to indoor mold growth. Homes with basements, attics, or aging plumbing systems are at higher risk. Even newer homes can experience mold if construction materials were exposed to moisture or if ventilation systems are inadequate.
That’s why a personalized, building-specific evaluation is essential. Mold behaves differently in each structure, and our team understands how to tailor solutions that address your home’s unique vulnerabilities.
