Healthy Home

Along with checking for mold and making sure you are aware of the signs that could indicate mold in your home, you should make sure you are keeping your home a healthy environment in as many other ways you can. You should ask yourself a few questions in regard to your environment:

• Do you smoke inside your home?
• Is the ventilation and exhaust fans between your laundry room, kitchen, and bathroom adequate?
• When was the last time you changed your air filters?
• When was the last time you changed the filter or bag to your vacuum?
• Is your laundry done with bleach or ammonia?
• Is your gas stove and fire place checked every year for emissions?
• Was your home build before 1977? If so, has it been checked for led based paint?
• Do your bathrooms have carpet?
