Get it checked by H2 Environmental Consulting ServicesThere could be all kinds of weird toxins in your home, and there’s only one way to know for sure–by scheduling an environmental evaluation with H2 Environmental Consulting Services. Commonly found contaminants in Southern California and throughout the US include asbestos, lead, mold, and fungus. Some of the fibers can even be microscopic and can’t be seen by the naked eye, so the technicians at H2 Environmental Consulting Services use the most modern technology and techniques to discover whether contaminants are present in your home. Some pollutants such as asbestos and mold can be seen visually, but are hidden in attics, under floorboards, or inside walls. The contamination experts at H2 Environmental Consulting Services will examine every molecule inside your home and provide you with quantifiable results, so you know exactly what is (and isn’t) in your home.

Why does it matter if there are contaminants?

Different pollutants can have varying affects on humans. For example, lead is a harmful substance that you definitely don’t want to have in your home if you have small children. That’s because kids crawl around, inevitably getting lead-laced paint chips or dust on their hands, and then sucking their thumb and ingesting it. Though it’s a small amount of lead, if the child does this every day, he or she will end up with high levels of head in their body. He or she could even contract lead poisoning—a very serious condition that can even affect brain development. Don’t put your kids at risk—schedule your environmental evaluation before move in day.

Mold is another substance you definitely don’t want to mess around with, especially if there are allergy sufferers in your family. Mold spores in the air make those with allergies cough, have itchy eyes, and have to potentially deal with a host of other symptoms exacerbated by the presence of mold in your home. Find out if you have it before your family member starts complaining by calling H2 Environmental Consulting Services at (800) 524-3578 to schedule an environmental evaluation today.

Asbestos is yet another contaminant you definitely don’t want in your home, particularly if you plan on doing any renovations. If disturbed, it releases particles into the air that could be harmful if inhaled. Asbestos exposure has been linked to serious diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma, so it’s best to not risk it.
