Ask Yourself:
  • Is the air in your home clean and healthy?
  • Do your children have breathing problems such as asthma?
  • Is someone in your home allergic to mold?
  • Do you know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning?
  • Is there lead anywhere in your home?
  • Is your tap water safe to drink?
  • Do you use bug spray or other products to keep away pest?
  • Do you keep poisons and other chemicals where your children cannot reach them?

Key Factors for Healthy Homes

There are seven key factors in maintaining a healthy home. A healthy home should be clean, free of contaminants, and kept dry to prevent mold and structural damage. It should also be well-maintained, pest-free, and safe for its occupants. Lastly, proper ventilation is essential to ensure good air quality and overall well-being.
