is a fully licensed and insured Professional Indoor Air Quality specialty firm. We focus on the testing, identification and removal of indoor air quality problems associated with mold, moisture, bacteria, chemicals and radon-related issues.

WARNING!

"Indoor air quality can be 50 to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air and is considered to be among the top 5 environmental health risks we're potentially affected by every day" *EPA

Mold is usually visible and has an odor. On the other hand, radon is odorless, tasteless, invisible and is only detectable by performing indoor air-quality testing. Household Environmental utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to perform mold and radon in-air and in-water tests. These tests are capable of providing same-day results, which can then be communicated via email, fax, phone, etc. to immediately identify your problem.

Given the superior construction techniques employed with new homes and buildings, it is more important than ever to maintain adequate ventilation. Toxic air quality levels can quickly elevate due to improper ventilation, and the source of this contamination must be identified and controlled.

Our staff of professionals maintain multiple levels of training and certification directly through EPA, OSHA, and Certified University Training Programs dedicated to mold and radon-related issues. In this regard, we can confidently approach any situation and be able to both identify, test and perform removal and mitigation services as needed.

We have a proven track record and are proud of our impact throughout New England. As we proceed through our 18th year in business, we continue to provide a value-oriented, friendly, professional service and stand behind our work with written warranties (see our Radon and Mold Guarantees) and outstanding follow-up client services.

If you feel you may have an Indoor Air Quality-related problem, contact us at Household Environmental. We will be happy to assist in providing the highest level of service possible, 24 hours a day at (866) 86-RADON. If you prefer email, consider using one of our Survey Forms, we can then familiarize ourselves to your situation before contacting you.

FACT: In general, high levels of radon are associated with granite, shale, phosphate deposits and some beach sands.

FACT: Mold can be many colors such as: black, green, red, pink, orange, yellow, etc. depending on the type, surface it is growing on (digesting) and moisture level.

FACT: The U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have determined that radon is second only to smoking as a leading cause of lung cancer.

FACT: The U.S. EPA recommends that you fix your home if the indoor radon level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher.

FACT: Molds are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, molds play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.

FACT: It is impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors; some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in house dust. The mold spores will not grow if moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up the mold and fix the water problem. If you clean up the mold, but don't fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back.
