Improve Indoor Air Quality in Your Home

With all the modern man-made materials in our homes these days and the chemical laden contents coupled with inadequate ventilation; it’s no wonder the experts say our indoor air quality is the worst air we can be breathing.

Now mix this all together and a “cocktail effect” results. "What kind of cocktail" you might ask. The kind that gives you rashes, trouble breathing and can contribute to severe health issues.

What Can One Do About VOCs?

The best thing a home owner can do is educate themselves about the wide variety of compounds that are out there. Let's face it, we are all part of one giant living experiment and we are the "lab rats."

Next, familiarize yourself with the common health effects of VOCs. But be careful, exposure to many of these items takes years to manifest into health issues (like cancer). Sourcing materials with low / no VOC content is the best way to protect yourself. Paints, stains, flooring, furniture and carpeting can all be sourced with low (to no) VOCs.

Where Do VOCs Come From?

The obvious sources would be your home's building materials, furnishings and household cleaners. It can even come from outside or from under your home in the form of "vapor intrusion" from off-gassing groundwater.  Identifying all the potential sources of VOCs can be a daunting task that requires the help of a professional.

Isn't All This Regulated?

Unfortunately, no. While some standards and benchmarks are in place for certain compounds, most have none. The rate at which new chemicals are produced and work their way into our environment is staggering. Most of which have received no health studies at all. Its up to you to be informed and protect yourself.

Still Having Problems Breathing in Your Home?

Get out if you can. If not, ventilate the space with outside air as often as possible. Using a portable air purifier may also be a good idea. The longer you are exposed to these VOC's the greater your chance of developing ill health effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every Time I Enter This Room in My Home I Get Itchy, My Throat Constricts and I Can’t Breathe.

Moldy shower - gw llcMany folks have (or develop) sensitivity to molds and chemicals that are immediately noticeable. Other times it takes longer as we age, and our immune systems start to decline. Everyone is different. But when one room in your home gives you such immediate discomfort, there is almost always a hidden microorganism to blame. Better bring in a mold specialist.

I Smell a Damp Musty Aroma When I Enter My Basement.

Mold floor beam - gw llcActively growing molds have a distinctive musty aroma associated with their life cycle. Picture walking into a basement and what aroma is typically associated with that environment. If you smell smoke, there’s almost always fire. A pro would help you determine what is going on with that aroma.

I’ve Lived Here for 40 Years and I Don’t Smell Anything!

Arroma critters - gweIt’s not unusual to have become so de-sensitized to the aromas associated with your home after living there for decades. Many times folks new to your home will notice the unusual aroma and mention it to you. You should hire a professional and investigate this further as things are not as they always seem to you.

How to Remove Odors from Home?

The best way to remove odors is to remove the source. But odors are often absorbed by surrounding building materials and can be difficult to address. To address those areas can use a deodorizing treatment such as a biocide, hydroylation, ozone, etc. It just depends on the type of odor and how long it has been around.

How Does One Get Rid of the "Musty" Smell in 100-Year Old Houses or Apartments?

A musty smell is often a sign of a larger moisture challenge. Manage the moisture, and the odor often dissipates as well.
