Solar panels can be a good addition to your home but there some important considerations: 👉🏽 Installing panels on the roof means you will@have penetrations (ie, holes). This can lead to water intrusion 👉🏽 Solar panels can lead to an increase in Dirty Electricity. Some brands are better than others and filters may be necessary. 👉🏽the installation of panels can sometimes impede adequate ventilation if the placement is not carefully considered. ☑️ Make sure you consult with a skilled EMF consultant to choose the cleanest system for your home. ☑️ inspect the attic regularly to make sure water is not getting in ☑️ Place panels strategically to allow for proper ventilation and distance from sleeping areas. Enjoy the savings! #solarpanels #dirtyelectricity #emfradiation #waterdamagedbuildings #buildingbiology

Once you’ve been through water damage or mold, you see it everywhere! But the good news is that awareness means you find the problems and can do something about it!! We don’t need to freak out about every little thing, but we can get curious, investigate and take action when needed. Knowledge is power! #waterdamge #cirs #oldhouses #toxicmold #moldillnessrecovery

Hydro floor systems can be great from a comfort perspective, just make sure they are strategically placed to help avoid elevated magnetic or electric fields where you spend a lot of time. You can also use them strategically and don’t need to have them turned on all the time. When used appropriately they can be a lovely addition to your home! #emfprotection #emfshielding #5g #indoorairquality #healthyhouse #wholehomeandbodyhealth

It’s true! Food gets moldy, and then we eat it. No, we should not be terrified to eat. No, we don’t have to freak out about every little thing. But if you are dealing with mold illness, or your body is immune compromised, then it’s a good idea to be careful about what you’re feeding your body. The biggest sources of mold from food? -corn -wheat -other grains -dried fruits (and juices) -fermented or aged foods -root vegetables If you’re in the thick of a mold or candida issue, you may need to avoid these foods for a small while. But don’t worry, once you recover you can bring them back in! Working with a qualified practitioner is of course the best thing you can do! #candida #moldyfood #fungalinfectiontreatment #moldycorn #moldillnessrecovery

Prevention is THE best strategy when it comes to dealing with water damage. The best things about tips like these is that they literally cost you no money, and you have to do LESS, not more. I call that a win-win-win-win! #blackmold #toxicmold #newhomemaintenance #healthyhometips #buildingbiology

I hear inspectors say this ALL.THE.TIME. ‘It’s just lumber yard mold, not harmful!’ The most experienced inspector in the world can not tell you with 100% accuracy. I have tested so many boards that look like this, and I’m consistently surprised. Plus, any mold can be allergenic for someone. Don’t let someone gaslight you and tell it’s just ‘lumber yard mold, mildew, dirt, dust’ or whatever. If in doubt , get it tested! #moldtesting #moldinspections #homeinpsections #blackmoldremoval #waterdamage

Comment 'Clean Air' and I'll send you a direct link! The best purchase I made this year?? Hands down my Jaspr Pro. With nearly three months of severe air quality due to wildfires, my Jaspr was a lifesaver - literally. Having two cats in the house and cooking 3 meals a day also adds many contaminants to the air. The Jaspr automatically adjusts when it senses an increase in particulates. I LOVE this feature. I usually see the air quality return to safe levels within minutes. I also love that it’s whisper quiet and you can turn off the lights for night time - critical components for good sleep. Check out to first link in my bio or go here: https://bit.ly/3RgfS2f.

One of the most common places I find water damage and mold - under the dishwasher! Because this a hidden area where non one ever looks - a slow drip can happen for years - leading to a significant mold event. Looking behind there every few months is a good idea. Putting a water sensor near the drain and supply pipes- also a good idea. And finally if you can fit a rubber pan under there, that will help capture water if the event of a leak. All of these actions will go a looong way in preventing mold! #preventingwaterdamage #preventwaterleaks #preventmold #blackmold #toxicmoldexposure

Yes it’s true, using gas appliances inside your home can increase health conditions like asthma and other respiratory conditions. Poor air quality is also strongly associated with cognitive decline and serious illnesses like Alzheimer’s Disease. Air quality should be taken seriously. We all deserve the right to breathe clean, unpolluted air. #healthykitchens #indoorairquality #breatheeasy #gasstoves #asthmasucks #alzheimers #breathecleanair #airpurification

Mold is one tricky little beast. It loves to hide, often on plain site. And don’t forget the bacteria! Remember, anywhere there is water, mold and bacteria can exist. The key to prevent them? Control the water!!! 👈🏽 #waterdamagedbuildings #cleankitchens #blackmold #actinomycetes #healthyhomehealthyfamily #buildingbiologyinstitute
