We're proud to announce that Jason Colby has earned the Certified Microbial Consultant (CMC) credential—one of the highest certifications available in the indoor environmental and microbial investigation industry.

The CMC designation demonstrates advanced knowledge in building science, microbial contamination, investigation protocols, and remediation principles. In an industry with very little regulation, credentials matter. Choosing an inspector with advanced education and nationally recognized certifications helps ensure your home is evaluated using sound science, industry standards, and unbiased recommendations.

Had a great meeting this morning with Nick Gettings, owner of Nick of Time S.C.. We met at one of my favorite local spots, lovelandcoffee. If you haven’t been by there in a minute, definitely stop by and grab a tasty beverage or a snack! And if you need any handyman work done, call Nick with Nick of Time!!!

Mold doesn’t always need a leak.

In many cases, sustained humidity alone can create the right conditions.

This is why monitoring indoor humidity is one of the simplest—but most overlooked—ways to protect your home.

If you’re not tracking humidity, it’s a great place to start.

Two people can live in the same home…
and have completely different experiences.

One feels fine.
The other feels exhausted, foggy, or reactive.

Why?

Because how the body responds depends on:
• Immune system balance
• Total stress load
• Sensitivity to environment
• Duration of exposure

It’s not “all in your head.”
It’s how your body is processing what it’s exposed to.

If you’ve ever felt different from others in your home, there may be more to the story.

This is something many people notice—but don’t always connect.

If your home has:
• Poor air quality
• Hidden moisture
• Dust or microbial buildup
• HVAC circulation issues

…it may be quietly impacting how your body feels.

Even if everything looks clean.

Your nervous system is constantly taking in information from your environment.

And sometimes… it’s responding to more than you realize.

If you’ve noticed patterns like this, your home may be worth a deeper look.

Sometimes the person who feels it first
is simply the one paying attention.

Or the one whose body is more responsive.

Or the one whose system is already under load.

Being affected doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It often means your body is signaling earlier.

Listening to those signals is where clarity begins.

One of the biggest misconceptions:

“If my house is clean, I’m fine.”

But mold isn’t about cleanliness.
It’s about conditions.

Humidity.
Airflow.
Hidden moisture.

You can have a spotless home…
and still have environmental factors affecting how you feel.

If something feels off, it’s not always about what you can see.

Your HVAC system doesn’t just heat and cool—it moves everything through your home.

That can include:
• Dust
• Particles
• Microbial fragments

Which means one small issue can quietly affect multiple rooms.

If something feels off throughout the home, it may be worth looking at how air is being distributed.

Today we remember and honor those who gave everything.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Memorial Day as we take time to reflect and be grateful.
