Why Get Indoor Emissions Testing?
Sources that release gases and other contaminants are the primary cause of indoor air quality problems. While an annual check of your gas furnace can prevent some carbon monoxide problems, it is often not enough.
Other gas appliances like stoves and dryers can also pose emission risks. Loose connections, along with inadequate ventilation, can increase indoor pollution levels. High interior temperatures and humidity can also contribute to the problem.
Carbon monoxide levels are the most concerning as the gas is deadly in high concentrations but can also cause headaches and other health problems at lower levels.
Gas appliances aren’t the only source of indoor air pollution. Many different items emit chemicals that result in hazardous emissions. Remodeling or any other kind of work that uses hazardous chemicals inside your home can also add to the dangerous mix.
High pollutant levels can remain inside your home for a considerable length of time after these activities.
Substances that can produce dangerous interior emissions include:
- Oil and gas
- Kerosene
- Wood
- Tobacco
- Building materials and furnishings
- Household cleaners and hobby products
- Pesticides
- Radon that migrates inside
When Davis & Green performs CO testing inside your home, our professionals will check all your appliances for leaks. We will also look for pockets where particles and carbon monoxide may lurk.
Outdoor air pollution can also enter your home through openings around windows and doors, cracks in walls, floors and ceilings, joints, and other openings that often develop in older homes.
Our services can protect against electrical fire risks, dangers from candles and cooking, and problems with gas appliances and wood stoves. We can also identify garage, furnace, generator, and other exhaust leaks.
The report generated by our professionals will show where your problems exist and offer recommendations for remediation and ventilation improvement. Our professionals will gladly take the time to explain the process and thoroughly test your property to improve your indoor health.
