Signs Your Home Is Suffering from Poor Indoor Air Quality
Your home will often show one or more clear signs that it is suffering from poor indoor air quality.
You might want to schedule an indoor air quality evaluation in your home if:
- You live with a smoker
- It is excessively humid inside
- The air inside smells stale or musty
- There are cold and warm spots inside
- You’ve recently remodeled or renovated it
- You have an unrepaired plumbing or roof leak
- There is mold or mildew growth anywhere inside
- There are yellow or wet stains on your ceiling or walls
- There is an excessive amount of dust on the air vents and other surfaces inside
Signs Your Family Is Suffering from Poor Indoor Air Quality
Your home isn’t the only victim of poor indoor air quality.
Your family might be suffering from indoor air quality if they experience the following symptoms:
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Itchy throat, eyes, or nose
- Headaches
- Respiratory infections
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Sinus congestion
It can be difficult to identify poor air quality symptoms because they are so similar to those of a cold or the flu. However, if you or your loved ones experience relief from these symptoms upon leaving the house for an extended period of time, it is safe to assume that poor indoor air quality is the culprit.
