If so, the problem may go deeper than dust on the surface.
Common hidden sources of poor indoor air
Some indoor air problems are obvious, like cigarette smoke, but many are hiding in places you don’t regularly see.
Potential culprits include:
- Mold and moisture in basements, crawlspaces, bathrooms, and around leaks.
- Poorly ventilated bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry areas.
- Furnaces or appliances that are not venting properly.
- Old carpeting, furniture, and building materials releasing VOCs.
- Dust and allergens trapped inside ductwork and on surfaces.
Over time, these sources release particles and gases into your air, which your family breathes day in and day out.
When it is time to schedule indoor air quality testing
