Maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) is crucial for both the health and comfort of your home. While many Lawton area homeowners are aware of the importance of healthy indoor air, many don’t know of the impact that home plumbing and HVAC systems have on IAQ. At Pippin Brothers, we’re home performance and indoor air quality experts who understand how these essential systems can affect your whole-home health and can provide a reliable and long-lasting solution to help you breathe easier.
Plumbing & IAQ
Moisture & Mold Growth - Plumbing leaks and poor ventilation can lead to water damage and excess moisture, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew to grow. These fungi release spores into the air, which can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems.
Sewer Gas Leaks - Faulty plumbing and blocked vents can allow sewer gas to accumulate inside your home. Not only does sewer gas have a strong, unpleasant odor, but it also contains harmful components that can be hazardous to your family’s health.
Contaminated Water - Poor plumbing maintenance can result in backflow issues, where contaminated water can enter your clean water supply. This contamination can produce unpleasant odors and contribute to poor IAQ.
HVAC Systems & IAQ
Airborne Contaminants - Without proper HVAC maintenance, your system will accumulate dust, pollen, and other allergens and distribute them throughout your home. Dirty air filters and leaky ductwork are often the culprits, worsening IAQ and reducing your home efficiency.
Humidity Issues - Proper humidity control is essential for good IAQ. An HVAC system that doesn't adequately manage humidity can lead to conditions that promote mold growth and dust mites, both of which can negatively impact your health.
Poor Ventilation - indoor air can become stale and polluted without ventilation, and a poorly performing HVAC system will struggle to dilute indoor pollutants and maintain a healthy IAQ.
Carbon Monoxide - Combustion HVAC systems, like furnaces and water heaters, can produce carbon monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless gas that is extremely dangerous. If these systems are not properly maintained or vented, CO can build up in your home, leading to potentially fatal poisoning.
