Person
Kevin Rooney brings a unique blend of hands-on construction experience and healthcare knowledge to the world of mold remediation. He began working in the trades as a teenager under the mentorship of his stepfather working on homes, later gaining skills in plumbing, electrical, and tile work through self-teaching and real-world application.
In the mid-1990s, Kevin transitioned into healthcare, working at Fair Oaks Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia, while attending ultrasound school. After earning his credentials, he became a vascular technologist at Fauquier Hospital in Warrenton, Virginia, where he eventually served as the technical coordinator of the vascular lab and a member of the Infectious Disease Control Committee.
During this time, Kevin's youngest daughter, Abby, experienced frequent illnesses?15 rounds of antibiotics in five years. Kevin and his wife Dawn decided to take a more holistic approach. They eliminated bread, pasta, sugar, and processed foods from Abby's diet. That marked the beginning of Kevin's research into natural remedies and indoor environmental health.
His studies led him to the powerful effects of essential oils, which he discovered could help kill mold spores. This insight launched a new business venture focused on natural, effective mold remediation strategies. Today, Kevin continues to help families across the country identify and eliminate mold hazards?bringing together his building expertise and passion for health.
