From Distress to Progress: Aaron Pettigrew’s Health Journey with Aeroseal
Aaron Pettigrew’s Health Journey with Aeroseal
In 2017, Aaron Pettigrew faced an array of health issues:
gastrointestinal problems, migraines, joint swelling, and even
brain atrophy. Seeking medical advice, Aaron was directed by a friend to explore Chronic Inflammatory
Response Syndrome (CIRS), suspecting it might be the cause of his ailments. CIRS, a condition resulting
from prolonged exposure to biotoxins like mold, triggers a persistent inflammatory response, leading to
symptoms such as fatigue and headaches. After undergoing tests, Aaron was diagnosed with
symptoms related to mold exposure at his workplace.
Initially skeptical, Aaron embarked on a major renovation of his home, focusing on improving the air
quality to better manage his CIRS symptoms. His consultant, Laurie Rossi, recommended Aeroseal to
seal the ducts, a process she described as essential for “sealing the lungs of his home.” In June 2023,
Aeroseal of Colorado dramatically improved Aaron’s indoor air quality by sealing the ducts, reducing
leakage by over 85% and significantly decreasing contaminants from both supply and return airflows.
The difference was immediate, after the Aeroseal treatment, my home transformed into a safe haven, free from the pollutants that aggravated my condition. It’s not just a house; it’s where I can heal. Aeroseal has not just sealed my ducts; it has sealed a promise of health and safety within my own walls.

“The difference was immediate,” Aaron recalls. “After the Aeroseal treatment, my home transformed into a safe haven, free from the pollutants that aggravated my condition. It’s not just a house; it’s where I can heal.”
Results
Since the intervention, Aaron’s resilience to mold exposure has improved, and he can travel with fewer health setbacks. He knows now when returning home, he’s coming back to a safer environment. He actively promotes Aeroseal within the CIRS community and beyond, testament to the profound impact it has had on his home environment and overall well-being. “Aeroseal has not just sealed my ducts; it has sealed a promise of health and safety within my own walls.”
