Is My Home Healthy and Safe? Indoor Air Pollution a bigger hazard than outdoors.

Just when you thought you were safe from the common health hazards, often found in older homes, such as lead-based paints and asbestos-containing materials, brace yourself for a whole new set of problems related to new construction.
New homes are built so tightly, with thermopane windows and tons of insulation materials, not enough fresh air or air circulation causes gases to build up in the air, that are released from a variety of materials.

So whether you live in a brand new home or in an older home here in America, you might not be as safe as you think, your home might be making you sick!

Note: Instead of putting bandaids on the indoor air pollution in your home with air purifiers and filters, it's better to remove the causes!

Some common causes of an unhealthy and unsafe home environment.

  • Building materials, asbestos
  • Household cleaners, paints
  • Chemicals in carpets and fabrics
  • Dust mites
  • Mold
  • Mildew
  • Gas leaks
  • Carbonmonoxide
  • Improper venting of plumbing, heating systems, gas appliances
  • Bad chimneys
  • Inadequate ventilation in atticks
  • High radon levels
  • Bacterial growths
  • Polluted well water
  • Dangerous wiring, ungrounded outlets and much more.

How do I know my home is safe?

The sad thing is, you don't. But if you have been suffering from ailments such as allergies, astmha, fatigue, irritability,headaches, depression, nervousness, flu-like symptoms, dizziness, nausea, a general feeling of ill being and you haven't been able to find out why, it is very likely that the cause may lie inside your home.
But relax, there ARE things you can do about it!

Here is how you can protect yourself and your family:

By letting us perform a home health safety inspection where we will use all our testing methods and inspection knowledge to specifically test and look for air pollutants as well as other hazards in your home that may cause you to be unsafe. This also includes unsafe stairways, trip hazards, exposed electrical wires, and much more! Remember, it's better to take the causes away then to buy expensive filtration systems.
