Preservation and Protection of Your Home & Your Belongings
Poor indoor air quality can cause a variety of harmful effects to both your home and belongings:
- An overly humid indoor environment can lead to the growth of biological contaminants including mildew on carpeting and draperies, wet stains on walls and ceilings, paint failure and warping woodwork.
- Too dry of an indoor environment can lead to wood shrinkage, instruments falling out of tune and cracking drywall and plaster.
- Musty smells and lingering odors can not only make you uncomfortable, they can infiltrate and "stick" to every porous surface, including your carpeting, drapery and other textiles.

Poor Ventilation May Be Harmful to Your Family’s Health
Builders and homeowners are doing all the right things to make homes more air tight and more energy efficient. They use vapor barriers, caulking, house wraps and better sealing doors and windows to reduce energy loss caused by air infiltration.
Today’s homes eliminate nearly all wasteful air leaks, helping to control energy costs. Because homes are air tight, pollutants are trapped indoors. The health hazards from indoor air pollutants are broadly recognized as one of today’s top environmental hazards.
Indoor air pollution is the uncomfortable or unhealthful presence of high levels of pollutants. Lingering odors may simply be a daily annoyance. Formaldehyde and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), cigarette smoke, radon, household cleaners, even perfumes can threaten health. Protect your family from the health problems that are associated with:
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - can cause headaches, drowsiness and reduce mental acuity
- Smoke - can cause irritated eyes and respiratory problems like bronchitis and pneumonia
- High Humidity - promotes asthma, encourages fungal growth and house dust mites

- Ammonia - can cause eye, nose and respiratory tract irritation
- Radon - is an invisible, odorless gas that can seep into homes from the ground, and in time can cause cancer
- Volatile Organic Compounds - many building materials including paints, carpets and adhesives contain substances that outgas and can cause allergic reactions
