The Breathable Home Story
A sweet older client said to me, “Now, don’t make my house too tight- I want to make sure it can still breathe!” Wise words, I thought, and ones we should not forget as we tighten our homes in Maine and save on heating bills for winter.
Homes that are too tight result in poor indoor air quality causing mold, mildew and health issues.
The concept of The Breathable Home© is to understand the benefits of the homes of yesteryear, and apply them to homes we work on today. We must do this without sacrificing the efficiency, health, safety, or durability of the home. It all starts with a home’s breathability or ventilation. It is the first thing we test before we work on your home, and the last thing we test before we leave.
