Healthy homes is about the air that we breathe inside our homes. have you ever thought about the quality of air and what may be inside of your house or the place that you live. Air can move around from basements, crawlspaces, the living space where we sleep, eat, and even bathe. How about the furnace or the HVAC system where your heat and/or air conditioning flows from a duct vent or radiator pipes.
Have you ever had a water leak in your home? How about a flood, a leaky roof, a damp basement or crawlspace. It has been said that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. This means that you could be breathing bad air which may be making you sick. Some of the symptoms you may be experiencing such as headaches, dizziness, skin rashes, eye irritation, odors, sneezing, coughing, sinus congestion are just a few. You could be breathing in bad unhealthy indoor air and not even realize it.
Mold has become a recent problem especially after flooding, excess water leaks, excess relative humidity, hurricanes, heavy rain storms, etc. Mold contamination grows where there is excess moisture and/or flooding. The longer the moisture or water stands indoors the more potential for mold growth, especially after 48 hours or more. Allergies and excess dust can trigger several reactions. Keeping the air quality clean indoors is important to lessen the allergy irritabilities.
To have a healthy home it is best to pay attention to the details of your house. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
