Making sure that your home is the right fit for you and your loved ones, locks stay locked, windows are secured shut, but there may be something that is difficult to keep track of; mold.

If you think your family may have mold, there are a few ways to keep them safe by knowing what to look for and how to actually test for mold include surface testing, air testing and bulk testing, as well as hiring a professional to not only test for all of these, but also other inspections in and out of your home.

Finding a quality inspection company is key. They can test your home if you smell, detect or see any mold issues anywhere within your home or if your children have any allergies to make sure that your mold is kept to a minimum. It’s best to have them performed by a mold professional who is experienced at collecting, analyzing these samples and giving you the most accurate results needed.

In the New Jersey area, one company to be aware of is called Nash Everett. Gary Szymanski and his team will help take care of those pesky (and sometimes dangerous) problems such as mold, dust, air quality, and most importantly an indoor health assessment and evaluation. Gary started this company with the sole purpose of consistently improving homes and lives. The name, Nash Everett, actually stands for the two most important people in Gary’s life, his two children. When he himself was faced with mold issues within his home, he became frustrated looking for solutions that did not involve toxic contaminants or those that only masked the condition, instead of truly fixing it. With his prior knowledge of being a lead project manager with GreenWorks Environmental, he decided to take the leap and open his own business. He was determined to create a company that worked hand in hand with his own values of trust and honesty to make people feel better. Gary is extremely passionate about helping others improve their health within their home, give them an affordable outlet, and most importantly educate them on small improvements for yearly maintenance. 

So how can this company help you? Well if you feel as if you have mold there is a distinct smell that will be around the area. What does it smell like? It is a musty, damp smell and trying to overpower it with scents will not take care of the business either.
