In our modern 21st century world, there are a wide variety of things that cause both outdoor and indoor air quality (IAQ) to be quite low. Cars, other modes of transportation, factories, and many other factors contribute to poor air quality. Most people believe, however, that the indoor air found in their homes or businesses must be of better air quality because it is not exposed to those environmental pollutants.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Indoor air pollutants also come in a variety of forms, and they are especially prevalent when something like flooding occurs in your home which can lead to mold. Pipes can burst, inclement weather can cause flooding, and sewer lines may back up into our basements. All of these experiences can lead to reduced air quality in our homes.

Because people spend most of their time (up to 90%) in houses or other buildings, it is important that property owners are proactive when it comes to ensuring that clean air can be breathed in while inside the building. Installing a carbon monoxide alarm, eliminating gas space heaters, and having periodic air samples taken can all work to make sure that air pollution has not infiltrated your space.
