Duct cleaning
All of the air you breath passes through the lungs of your home – the HVAC. We use unique non-invasive duct cleaning methods to treat and restore your HVAC system to purity.
Mold remediation
Mold is the most common problem in a sick building. We remove the mold from your home using practices designed with the sensitized person in mind. When we’re done, our Hygia Protection Package guarantees our work for 15 years.
Crawl space encapsulation

Mycotoxin cleaning
Mold remediation does not remove the chemical poison mold leaves behind. Hygia uses special chemicals to destroy the dangerous mycotoxins left behind by mold so that your building does not become more toxic after remediation.

Our homes Are Sick
Our homes Are Sick
Up to 50% of homes have toxic conditions
A building that is making you sick, is a building that is sick. Building science failure can occur due to various reasons, including poor design, improper construction practices, inadequate materials or even lack of maintenance. When environmental problems arise in a home, the complexity of failures can make restoring your home feel like an impossible task.
Restoring a sick building to an environment that is a foundation for healing first involves understanding how buildings get sick:
Water damage
Water damage is the beginning of a sick building. Poor drainage, contractor error, leaks etc. all bring moisture into a home. Because our modern energy-efficient homes are so air-tight, the potential for moisture buildup in modern homes has increased.
Where there is both moisture and a food source, there is mold.
Mold growth
Water damage leads to mold growth and when mold grows in a home, it releases spores into the air. These spores can be sucked into the HVAC system, spreading throughout the house. More concerning is that mold can also produce invisible, toxic chemicals known as mycotoxins.
Mold creates mycotoxins that can contaminate your home and lead to a variety of chronic diseases.
Mycotoxin contamination
As mold grows, it begins fighting the other microorganisms in its environment. The weapons mold fires onto the battlefield of a sick home are mycotoxins. These mycotoxins are designed to kill other microbes like bacteria and mites.
A mycotoxin contamination is like a poisonous minefield that can stay in your home for years.
Microbial war
When mycotoxin production increases in a home, so does the fight between mold, bacteria, and other organisms. Over time, the mycotoxins, endotoxins, allergens, spores, and dust creates poisonous air inside of a home that can lead to a host of symptoms and diseases.
A home full of poisonous chemicals and microorganisms is a sick home.
