Straight answers.
Is My Home CIRS Health a medical service?
No. We are the building-side counterpart to your medical team: building-science education and vetted contractor matching. We never diagnose, treat, or interpret medical results — that belongs to your physician.
What does matching cost?
Nothing for households. We're compensated by network partners; our standards are published, and independent verification on projects keeps every incentive — including ours — pointed at your outcome.
What's the very first step if I suspect my home?
Two parallel tracks: your medical questions go to your doctor, and the building gets a composite settled-dust test plus a moisture-focused inspection. Don't start with remediation quotes — start with independent data.
Air test or ERMI dust test?
For the chronic-exposure question most households are asking, settled-dust qPCR testing (ERMI/HERTSMI-2) beats a single air snapshot: dust integrates weeks of what the building sheds. Air sampling earns its place for controlled clearance testing and isolating specific rooms.
Does fogging or ozone fix mold?
No. Contamination bound in materials and dust must be physically removed. Fogging over a reservoir adds chemistry to a sensitized household while leaving the problem in place — it's the most common upsell we screen contractors for.
The mold was cleaned but I still feel sick at home. Why?
The usual suspects: the moisture source was never fixed, fine-particle cleaning was skipped, the HVAC system was never addressed, or contamination extended beyond the visible scope. This is exactly what independent verification exists to catch.
Can renters use this?
Yes. Our renting-with-CIRS protocol covers assessment, documentation, landlord communication, and the leave calculation — and testing you commission independently is powerful documentation regardless of what a landlord disputes.
Do you serve my area?
Protocols apply everywhere, and matching runs nationwide. Our densest vetted coverage is in California, Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Colorado, and the network expands continuously.
Why do you insist on third-party verification?
Because contractor self-clearance is a progress report, not verification. Tying final payment to independent clearance is the single most behavior-changing clause in a remediation contract.
