• A Healthy Home Assessment is a detailed, science based evaluation of your home's indoor environment. Our team looks at potential sources of mold, EMF, moisture, and other indoor pollutants that can affect your health and comfort.

  • Our goal is to get to the root cause. We typically work with medically sensitive clients, including those who are very sensitive to mold, who need a deeper look at their home than a standard inspection provides.

  • No. We do not perform remediation ourselves. Our role is to provide an unbiased, scientific assessment.

  • No. We do not accept or pay referral fees with healthcare practitioners, remediation companies, contractors, or any other service providers. Our recommendations are based only on what is best for your home and your health. Any affiliate product links or discount codes we share are always disclosed.

  • Every JF Healthy Homes assessor has completed extensive training with Jonathan, and Jonathan personally oversees and reviews all work and findings.

Booking and Pricing

  • Pricing depends on the size of your home and the scope of the assessment, whether you would like the whole home evaluated or just a specific area of concern. Reach out and we will put together a proposal tailored to your needs.

  • The Gold Standard is catered to medically sensitive clients and is heavier on lab testing, for a more in depth look at the home. If you are unsure which is the right fit, we are happy to help you decide.

  • We usually book 2 to 3 weeks out. Cancellations do happen, so if you need an earlier date, we can add you to our priority list.

  • A 50% deposit is due at booking to reserve your assessment date, and the remaining balance is due upon completion. We keep a waitlist, so we ask for at least 72 hours notice to cancel or reschedule, which allows us to offer your spot to another family. Cancellations made less than 72 hours before your appointment forfeit the deposit, though it may be applied once to a new date within 60 days. Travel assessments require 14 days notice, and any nonrefundable travel costs already incurred cannot be refunded. We understand emergencies happen and will always work with you in those situations.

  • We do not work directly with insurance companies. If you are pursuing a claim, a public adjuster can help you navigate the process and work with your insurance company on your behalf. We are happy to recommend Misty Freeland, a public adjuster we trust.

    Public adjusters are licensed on a state by state basis. Please confirm that any adjuster you work with, including those we recommend, is licensed in your state. JF Healthy Homes is not affiliated with and does not receive compensation from any public adjuster.

Service Area and Travel

  • We are based in Nashville, TN, and serve clients within roughly 60 miles. Travel fees may apply for longer distances, and we will discuss them with you before booking.

  • Yes. Out of state assessments are usually booked in advance. We schedule travel in clusters and allow time for planning so each visit runs as smoothly as possible.

  • Yes. We offer virtual consultations for clients across the country and internationally. They are a great place to start if you are outside our local service area or want guidance before booking an onsite assessment.

Preparing for Your Assessment

  • A few simple steps help us get the most accurate results:

    • Hold off on dusting. Ideally, avoid dusting for 4 to 6 weeks before your assessment. Settled dust gives us an accurate picture of what has been circulating in your home.

    • Leave showers unused if we are testing them. If you would like a shower tested for moisture, avoid using it for at least 48 hours beforehand.

  • No. It is entirely up to you and whatever you are comfortable with. As long as we can be let into the home, we are good to go.

  • If possible, please keep pets out of the way during the assessment. We love pets, but our work involves equipment, ladders, and access to tight spaces, and we want to make sure no one gets hurt.

Your Assessment Day


  • Most assessments take 6 to 9 hours onsite, depending on the size of the home. Larger homes may take longer.

  • We start with a 30 minute walkthrough so you can show us your areas of concern and share any history about the home. Once the assessor is geared up for inspection and sampling, it is difficult to stop for questions, so we ask that you hold them. At the end of the day, your assessor sets aside about 15 minutes to answer anything on your mind.

  • Everywhere we can access. This includes bathroom vanities, under the kitchen sink, around tubs and toilets, the crawlspace, the attic, and more.

  • It is typically pretty quiet. You may hear some light tapping on the walls, or a drill if a wall cavity sample is needed.

Testing and Lab Work

  • Both. Your assessor performs a full visual and moisture inspection and collects targeted samples for lab analysis when needed.

  • When performed properly, mold testing can provide useful data on the types and relative levels of mold present at the time of sampling. We pair lab results with a thorough visual inspection, moisture readings, and a building science approach to give you as complete a picture as possible. No testing method can detect every hidden condition, and results reflect conditions on the day of the assessment.

  • Lab analysis is à la carte. We cannot know ahead of time how many samples will be needed or collected. Before anything is processed, we email you a list of the collected samples to review and approve. Only the samples you approve are sent for analysis, and they are added to your invoice.

EMF Questions

  • We test for radiofrequency (RF), electric fields, magnetic fields, and dirty electricity, giving you a clear understanding of exposure levels throughout your home.

  • Research suggests EMFs can affect sleep, energy, focus, and nervous system function in sensitive individuals. Our goal is not fear; it is awareness and practical solutions for a healthier home.

  • Yes. Your report includes custom recommendations for reducing exposure, plus referrals for shielding or electrician work if needed.

Your Report

  • Every client receives a summary style report outlining findings, key areas of concern, and prioritized recommendations. For clients who need documentation for contractors, landlords, or insurance, a detailed report is also available.

  • Reports are typically delivered within 10 to 14 business days.

  • Yes, and we encourage it. Sharing your report directly with your practitioner can help inform your treatment plan.

Other Services

  • Yes. After remediation is complete, we can return to verify the work before containment comes down and walls are closed up.

  • Yes. Please reach out before placing an offer, or as soon as your offer is accepted, so we have enough time to schedule within your inspection period. [Link to pre-purchase page]
