After water damage or mold
Your home is being taken care of. Now let’s look at you.
A free two-minute Home & Health Snapshot. Tell us where you live and what you have noticed, and we pull the public record on your home’s flood zone, elevation and your county’s storm history, then show you how it lines up with what you are feeling.
Step 1 of 3 · Your home
Where have you been living?
We use your address only to look up public records for that spot: FEMA flood maps, USGS elevation and federal disaster declarations for your county. It is not stored on this page and it is not sent to us until you choose to share your snapshot.
Anything like this, at any point while you lived there?

Where else you spend your days
Step 2 of 3 · Your body
In the last six months, have you noticed any of these, even mildly?
Tap everything that applies. Many of these have other causes; that is what a conversation is for. These questions are not a diagnosis, and this is not medical advice.
Pulling the public record for your home…
- Locating your address
- Checking FEMA flood maps
- Measuring elevation (USGS)
- Reading your county’s disaster history since 2000
- Mapping what you noticed
Step 3 of 3 · Your Home & Health Snapshot
Here is what the public record says.
Home dampness exposure index
A screening estimate from public records plus what you told us. It is not an inspection.
What you noticed, by body system
Federal disaster declarations for your county since 2000

Keep it · Send my snapshot to my inbox
We will email you this snapshot as a PDF so you have it on file. If it would help, a RootSeek care coordinator can also walk you through what a next step could look like. Entirely up to you.
We will email your snapshot, and a care coordinator may reach out by phone or text to answer questions. Message and data rates may apply; reply STOP to opt out. Not for medical emergencies.
Why you were handed this
They can take care of the building. They can’t tell you anything about your health, and they aren’t trying to.
The company working on your home deals with water damage and mold every day. They also know something most people don’t: what grows behind a wall doesn’t always stay behind the wall. They are simply passing along a way to check. RootSeek is an independent medical practice. What you do next is entirely up to you.

What water damage can leave behind
When a building stays wet, mold and bacteria grow. They release spores and compounds into the air people breathe.
Most people are fine. Some people find that their health is affected. What makes it hard to spot is that the connection between how someone feels and where they live is rarely obvious. It tends to come on slowly and looks a lot like ordinary life.
Two things make it easy to miss:
- People under the same roof can respond very differently. One person may feel unwell while another feels nothing at all.
- Some people notice they feel better after a few days away, and less well once they are home again.
None of that is proof of anything. It is just a reason to check rather than guess.
What happens when you finish
Three steps. You stay in control of every one.
Answer a few questions
Two minutes on your phone. Nothing invasive, nothing to buy.
Get your snapshot
Your home’s flood zone, elevation and county storm history next to what you have noticed, in plain English.
Decide from there
If it makes sense, we will show you the options, including a structured six-month program with a physician-led care team. If it doesn’t, you have spent two minutes and gained a baseline.
Bring the household in
Everyone under that roof shared the same air. If one of you is curious and another isn’t, that is completely normal. Two minutes at no cost is a low-stakes way to find out where you each stand. Share this page with them, or have them scan the same code.
About RootSeek
A virtual, root-cause medical practice based in Newburyport, Massachusetts.
We care for patients across Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We work with people whose symptoms have never been fully explained: fatigue, brain fog, aches without a cause, gut trouble, ongoing inflammation. We use detailed lab testing to look for what is actually driving how someone feels, then build a plan around what the data shows.
RootSeek was founded by Mark Su, MD, FAAFP, a board-certified physician who has spent his career on chronic, hard-to-explain illness. He is president of the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness and trains other clinicians in environmental medicine. He has practiced on the North Shore of Massachusetts since 2003.
