What actually works when it comes to air purifiers, mold, odors, and wildfire smoke? Chris Dooley, founder and CEO of Puraclenz, joins Adam Horn and Sean McGrath to break down HEPA filtration, activated carbon, UV-C, PCO, ionization, ozone, and the real-world differences between room purifiers and HVAC systems. They discuss what air purifiers can—and cannot—do in a mold-affected home, why moisture control and source remediation always come first, how to evaluate purifier claims and third-party testing, and why zero-ozone certification matters. The conversation also covers airflow, air changes, PM2.5, purifier placement, and practical applications for basements, bedrooms, and homes affected by wildfire smoke. If you're trying to improve your indoor air quality or choose an air purifier without getting misled by marketing claims, this episode gives you a practical framework for making a smarter decision.

Mold detection dogs can be a useful tool - but knowing how to properly interpret an alert and follow up on it is just as important.

Adam Horn and Sean McGrath are joined by Staci Sutton of Mold Pups and Jonathan Farrar of JF Healthy Homes for a practical conversation about mold detection dogs, canine training, mold inspections, and the importance of a proper follow up.

Staci explains what makes a legitimate canine team, how her dog Gus was trained, and why the right handler matters just as much as the dog. They also discuss the mold inspection and remediation perspective, breaking down where canine alerts can help, their limitations, and why documentation, inspection, sampling, testing, and communication are critical.

This passion extends into the literal foundations of our lives. As a licensed Holistic Realtor, Tammy ensures her clients don't just buy property, but purchase or build healthy homes.
