The Christmas holiday will be with us shortly. It’s not only time to get in the holiday spirit, but it’s also time to touch up your holiday home safety. During the big winter holidays, you will find yourself doing plenty of cooking, holiday decorating and entertaining guests. This is one of the most dangerous times of the year for house fires and overall poor indoor living conditions.
To keep your home in tiptop shape for the holiday season, you should have a full home inspection performed for mold problems and lead.
About holiday mold inspections
Holiday mold removal/ mold remediation services are important because mold can grow anywhere and put your family at risk of hazardous mold. The last thing you need or want to do during the holiday season is experience mold property damage or worse -respiratory health problems. Even the slightest trace of mold can make you as sick as a dog. When you suspect a mold problem at home, have it handle by a professional mold remediation company. Mold specialists will handle your mold problems quick and easy so you won’t have to spend your holidays worried about expensive mold problems.
About lead paint inspections
It’s important to have a lead paint inspection performed because you can lower the risk of your family and holiday guests being exposed to lead risks. Commonly homes built between 1950-1978 are most at risk of lead. Since 1978, the federal government has banned using lead-based paint within residential properties. However, traces of lead are still present within home interiors, exteriors and even the land of residential properties. Sometimes you will see traces of lead in paint chips, other times lead will be hard to see because it’s in the form of lead dust.
If you suspect your home of having traces of lead and see visible peeling, chipping, cracking or chalking, you should have your home immediately inspected for lead and have you and your family tested for lead poisoning.
Here is a list of areas lead is commonly found in the home:
- Windows/ Window sills
- Entry doors
- Staircases
- Railing
- Decks
- Fences
- And porches.
