CIRS, Lyme, and Mold Sensitivity

What is it?

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome affects between 25% - 35% of the population, and is a genetically carried syndrome. Those affected are incredibly susceptible to mycotoxins and any mold related growth. Symptoms develop in a host of ways, affecting multiple systems of the body. Since the likelihood of biotoxin interaction in tremendously increased in water damaged buildings, it is important to ensure your home is safe and free of water damage.

What are the symptoms?

CIRS isn’t something that appears overnight (typically symptoms that last longer than six months are considered chronic). The symptoms can manifest in a multitude of ways, and include some of the following:

- Fatigue - Memory Issues

- Headaches - Confusion

- Light sensitivity - Mood swings

- Sinus problems - Numbness

- Diarrhea - Night sweats

- Trouble focusing/concentrating on tasks - Vertigo

- Skin sensitivity - Appetite swings

Our part in your recovery

The journey to recovery from mold toxicity isn’t an easy one. We team up with professionals in the developing field of medicine to ensure we are always current in our approach to cleaning your home. From the Small Particulate Clean (SPC) to professional mitigation of damaged/affected materials, our team is here to ensure you are confident in the safety and cleanliness of your home.

Why not DIY

  • It can be dangerous

    Often mitigation requires the demolition of affected materials (source removal), in crawlspaces, attics, or elevated spaces. This work needs to be done in a containment comprised of specific materials, under proper negative air pressure, with property donned & doffed PPE...the list goes on. Mistakes in any of these phases can cross-contaminate your home and potentially leave things worse than they were prior to a DIY project. Our crews are trained to ensure safe and proper protocol throughout the project.

  • Misinformation

    There is a large spread of misinformation these days. Unfortunately, since CIRS isn’t officially recognized there is a host of misinformation spread around the internet on everything from cleaning approaches to the type of chemicals to use. Our team follows IICRC and NORMI protocols, and the remediation tactics employed by industry leaders in the US, ensuring the techniques used to treat your home are safe and guaranteed to work.

  • Personal Health

    Any error in the mitigation process can cause an increase of adverse health affects when done improperly. Everything from having a proper respirator (which requires a doctors clearance and a fit test to be considered safe to wear), to proper removal/adornment of Tyvek suits are crucial steps that require professional training.

  • Certificates & trainings matter

    The certifications and trainings professional mitigators receive are paired with years of experience to ensure a safe and effective mitigation approach. While the risks of mold are not always as visually apparent as a house fire or flooded basement, they are still there. When it comes to your health and well being, cutting corners is never a good idea. Bad mitigation is worse than no mitigation!
