Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome is what happens when a water-damaged building keeps the immune system switched on. Here is the building side of that story — in plain language.
CIRS — Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome — is an ongoing inflammatory illness that can be triggered by exposure to a water-damaged building. The medicine is a physician’s domain. The building is ours. The two have to work together, because you cannot treat a patient and send them back into the exposure.
Water-damaged buildings can harbor a mix of mold, bacterial byproducts, and other inflammagens. For a sensitized person, ordinary levels are not ordinary — they are a continuing trigger. That is why a standard clean-up often is not enough, and why the building has to be addressed to a different threshold.
We are the contractor and engineer side of a CIRS recovery — finding the moisture, remediating to the CIRS-MIR standard, and rebuilding so the space supports the person living in it. We work alongside the treating physician and the indoor environmental professional, not around them.
