An Environmental Storm Along the Gulf Coast Triggers Numerous Health Issues

A new generation of molds are evolving, becoming more aggressive and causing more health issues than at any time in history. This new generation of molds have been digesting nasty chemicals, over used antibiotics, discarded drugs and other toxins in our environment now for at least the last 30-40 years.

New generations of mold is showing up in HVAC Units like never before

After years of feeding off the pollutants in our environmental, molds are now more toxic and allergenic with respect to human health. For example, 30-40 years ago most of us had encounters with mildew that had little or no health effects. Today, you can hardly find mildew because the new molds actually feed on it. The molds today are growing and thriving in places in our homes and offices that are catching entire industries off guard and triggering health issues in a growing percentage of the population.

The Environmental Storm

Allergenic and toxic molds are now being found in a majority of homes and condos along the gulf coast. A lot of people think this is mildew but its actually a new generation of molds that are over stimulating our immune systems and triggering a wide variety of health issues.

Nasty molds are now thriving in our air conditioning units and related ductwork. A small roof leak or poor ventilation in the attic causes mold growth. Virtually, every crawl space is now covered in molds known to cause health issues in pets and humans.

Everyone’s body chemistry is different including how well we naturally detox from exposure to chemicals, molds and other environmentally contaminants so its hard to pinpoint exactly what symptoms are directly or indirectly related to mold growing and blowing through your home or office’s air conditioner and ductwork. Often our doctors misdiagnose mold related symptoms because they have similarities to so many other illnesses.

The industries most caught off guard by this “environmental storm” are the Real Estate agents, Property Managers, Builders, and of course the Air Conditioning Service and Installation companies. If they realized how many people were seriously impacted by hidden mold growing and blowing through the homes and offices they lease, sell, manage and service, we think they would update their business practices to be more health conscious toward their clients.

This is our mission and the purpose of the Smart Healthy Home Network. We are building a network of smart healthy homes along the gulf coast so those with health issues can buy and rent health-conscious homes. In the process of building the network we are building awareness for this serious environmental health challenge.

We not only can identify and remove the mold in your home, condo or vacation rental, but we can also mitigate the causes and help prevent it from coming back in the near future.
