What we can and can’t tell you
Healthy Home Dallas can identify and document mold and moisture conditions in your home. We are not medical providers and cannot diagnose a health condition or confirm that your symptoms are caused by mold—that determination belongs to your physician. If you are working with a functional medicine or CIRS-literate doctor, see our CIRS Protocol Assessment service, which is designed to support that kind of evaluation.
