The Safe Home Project
Buying or renting a home with MCAS, CIRS, or mold sensitivity?
For someone with environmental sensitivities, a home is not just a purchase — it's a medical decision. We make sure your next home doesn't make you sicker.

If you've ever walked into a house and felt your body shut down, you're not imagining it.
Headaches that started in the foyer. Brain fog by the second bedroom. Hives, racing heart, throat tightness, sudden panic, exhaustion you can't explain. By the time you get back to your car, you're not sure if the house is wrong or if you're wrong.
You're not wrong. The house is talking to your immune system, and your immune system is listening. For someone with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), or any form of mold or chemical sensitivity, the wrong home isn't just uncomfortable — it can be dangerous.
Conventional realtors and home inspectors aren't trained to look for what's making you sick. We are.
Who This Is For
Who The Safe Home Project serves
If you see yourself in any of these descriptions, you're our person.
MCAS Patients
Anyone with diagnosed or suspected Mast Cell Activation Syndrome who reacts to mold spores, VOCs, fragrance, or biotoxins.
CIRS Patients
Patients following the Shoemaker Protocol or working with CIRS-literate physicians who need ERMI/HERTSMI-2 verified safe housing.
Mold-Sensitive Renters
Renters who refuse to sign another lease without knowing what's in the air, the walls, and the HVAC system.
Environmentally Ill Families
Families relocating to escape a sick home — or any home where a child, spouse, or pet is unexplainedly ill.
What We Do
Six services built around the buyer the rest of the industry isn't trained for
A complete pre-purchase / pre-lease toolkit for environmentally sensitive home buyers and renters.
Service 01 · Same-Day Decision
The Sensitivity Walk-Through™
Before you fall in love with a house, we walk it with you. Real-time particle, VOC, humidity, and temperature monitoring while you're inside.
Same-day go/no-go report so you can make an offer — or walk away — with data, not just a feeling.
Service 02 · Physician-Grade Testing
ERMI & HERTSMI-2 Pre-Purchase Testing
The dust testing your CIRS doctor actually wants to see. We collect properly, ship to a qualified lab, and return results your physician can use under the Shoemaker Protocol — not a generic mold report.
Results formatted for your CIRS-literate practitioner, not a real estate file.
Service 03 · Chemical Sensitivity
VOC, Formaldehyde & Mycotoxin Screening
Newer is not safer. Fresh paint, new carpet, vinyl flooring, and engineered wood off-gas chemicals MCAS bodies cannot tolerate.
We screen for what your nose can't catch in time.
Service 04 · Hidden Damage
HVAC, Crawlspace & Water Damage Forensics
Hidden moisture is where mold lives. We open the systems other inspectors close — supply trunks, return plenums, crawlspaces, attic platforms, behind washer hookups.
We read the history the seller didn't disclose.
Service 05 · Clinician Coordination
Physician-Ready Documentation
Your CIRS or functional medicine physician gets a report formatted for their charts — not a generic mold inspection PDF.
We coordinate directly with your provider when you authorize us to.
Service 06 · Nationwide
Remote Listing Pre-Screening
Out of state? We review listing photos, satellite imagery, county records, and floodplain data before you fly out.
We've talked clients out of bad properties on the phone. We've also told them which ones are worth the trip.
How It Works
A clear path from "I'm worried" to "I can sign"
Four steps. Most clients complete the process inside a typical real estate contingency window.
01
Intake Call
We learn your sensitivity profile, timeline, and physician — free, 15–20 minutes.
02
Property Triage
Listing review or sensitivity walk-through to decide if the property is worth full testing.
03
Lab Testing
ERMI, HERTSMI-2, mycotoxin, VOC — only the panels your case needs.
04
Decision Report
Plain-English go/no-go with physician-ready documentation. You make the call.
Why Sensitive Buyers Choose Us
Independent. By design.
22+ years in indoor environmental health. Minority woman-owned. Guided by the functional medicine community. And the most important thing you'll read on this page:
We do not do remediation. Which means we have zero financial reason to find mold that isn't there — or to miss mold that is.
That independence is why CIRS and MCAS physicians refer their patients to us. It's why home buyers trust our go/no-go reports. And it's why a Safe Home Project assessment is genuinely different from a standard home inspection.
