Commercial & Residential Indoor Air Quality Testing
Could your Hatteras home, rental property, or business office be making you sick? Many residents and vacationers experience ongoing symptoms without realizing that indoor environmental conditions may be contributing factors. However, it is important to note that the severity of the health risks associated with mold exposure can vary depending on a range of factors. Specifically, these factors include the specific type of mold present, the true duration of your exposure, and your individual health status.
Consequently, since these toxic symptoms differ from person to person, people may not quickly associate them with indoor air quality issues. For this reason, many individuals suffering from mold illness struggle to get a proper diagnosis and an accurate environmental investigation.
Identifying Mold Exposure & Health Symptoms
Specifically, regular exposure to elevated mold spores or poor indoor air quality markers can trigger a wide range of health problems. For example, these critical health risks include:
-
Allergic Reactions: Spores trigger chronic sneezing, runny noses, sinus congestion, itchy eyes, and sudden skin irritation.
-
Respiratory Irritation: Prolonged exposure results in persistent coughing, wheezing, bronchitis, and the worsening of asthma symptoms.
-
Infections: Certain mold types cause dangerous fungal infections, particularly in individuals with heightened sensitivities or weakened immune systems.
-
Toxic Reactions: Certain types of mold produce mycotoxins. Consequently, these chemical byproducts cause harmful toxic reactions resulting in headaches, fatigue, or dizziness when symptoms don’t have an obvious cause.
Ultimately, our independent team takes your health seriously. If you suspect an environmental issue from an unresolved storm leak, a malfunctioning HVAC system, or want to review an island property before finalizing a real estate contract, feel free to use our contact us page to schedule a visit.

Beware of the Free Inspection Advertisements!
More and more Full Service Water Damage/Restoration Companies are generating consumer complaints with Free Mold Inspections, or Mold Testing Services.

A Remediation Contractor should not be performing pre or post testing on any property in which they have a financial interest in offering remediation services. The expense of sending out an inspector or in the case of a Restoration Company salesperson is real. Unethical companies deceptively use a “Free Inspection” or “Free Testing” as a way to get into your home in order to give you a high pressure sales pitch, with salespersons being overly aggressive in recommending remediation services to exaggerate the scope of work needed, high profits are expected. Consumers have found that these “free inspections” often come with a hefty price tag when the salesman presents a frightening list of dangerous conditions that are claimed to be emergency, requiring immediate and expensive repairs.
An insider recently stated that the goal before even walking through the door is $10,000.00 in findings. HEI believes you deserve the peace of mind of having your home evaluated by an objective, professional inspector, who is not there to sell you expensive and often unnecessary repair services. We offer honest, accurate inspections that carefully outline whatever actions may be required to correct any problems. If the extent of damage requires more extensive repairs, we can recommend reliable and honest local companies that we have worked with and trust.
