Although many Americans see their homes as safe havens and a place where they can rest easy, it is not the right place to be for your health. Due to the fact that Americans spend almost 87 percent of their lives indoors, indoor pollutants can be a major problem for their health.
According to the Mayo Clinic 40 million Americans were suffering from chronic sinus infection in 1999. Mold was responsible for 96% of these infections. The Canadian Federal Ministry of Health linked mold to asthma, and Organic Toxic Dust Syndrome. (OTSD) is an acute respiratory illness. Mold isn’t the only indoor pollution. Indoor air can be affected by paints, varnishes and common household cleaners.
Many families now arrange for certified professionals to inspect their homes to assess their indoor air quality. If the inspection reveals problems, the family can take action to remove them.
Environmental Service Professionals, Inc. (ESP), trains Certified Environmental Home Inspectors to perform standard home inspections. This includes indoor air quality, mold, moisture, volatile organic compound, lead, radon, and any other important environmental inspections. ESP recommends that annual inspections be conducted to provide peace of thought for your family, health, and home. The Healthy Green Living Certification certifies that your home is free from environmental hazards and protects your family’s health.
There are some instances when you might need to have your house inspected:
– Allergies Allergies are not always seasonal. Red eyes can be caused by mold, dust, insects, and other indoor allergens.
Symptoms such as chronic fatigue, breathing problems, sneezing, and breathing problems. An EcoCheck Inspection can help to identify allergens in your home that could cause chronic allergy symptoms.
– Excessive moisture, or leaks. Mold can grow in moist places, such as a leaking pipe and a flooded basement. Mold inspections should be performed if there is moisture in your home.
– Moving. A home inspection is an important step in boosting your property’s resale potential.
You can identify potential problems in your home before you move in and fix them before they become serious.
