Indoor Air Quality
We spend the majority of our time indoors and studies have found that our home’s indoor air quality is often significantly more polluted than outdoor air! Harmful air quality can lead to asthma, allergies, respiratory illness, emphysema, and even cancer! We will evaluate your home’s air quality and test for common hazards including VOCs, mold, mildew, radon, carbon monoxide, particulates, pesticides, and other contaminants..
Lead FAQ
Lead-based was heavily used in home that were built before 1980 and is still used in the production of many products including some batteries, electronics, art supplies, PVC, metals, ceramics and more. Anyone can be affected by lead exposure but it is particularly concerning for young children because the CDC has stated that there is no safe lead exposure level for children. Even a tiny exposure could affect IQ the ability to pay attention, and academic achievement. Even if you or your child has been exposed to lead, you may currently show no symptoms so it is critical that you have your home tested for lead to ensure that you and your family are not exposed to this extremely dangerous substance.
Sick Home / Sick Building Syndrome
If you or a loved one is experiencing ongoing acute health problems for which a root cause cannot be diagnosed, you may be suffering from Sick Home/Sick Building Syndrome. These health issues may be directly associated with how much time you spend in your home or another building such as your office. Sick Home/Sick Building Syndrome is recognized by the EPA, the National Institute of Health, and OSHA and is a problem that affects many. This may be the result of inadequate ventilation, radon, asbestos, mold, and other contaminants. Only a thorough property inspection can identify pollutants in the home and provide you with an actionable solution to remedy the hazard.
