It seems that we hear a lot about environmental concerns these days. Much of it is simply the result of a greater
awareness than in the past. And even though there isn't anything to be concerned with in most homes, there are still a
number of potential home environmental issues that buyers should be aware of.
Water quality is probably the most common concern and the one most often
tested for. Typically, a basic water quality test will check pH, water
hardness, the presence of fluoride, sodium, iron and manganese, plus
bacteria such as E-coli. Additionally, water may be tested for the presence of
lead or arsenic.
In homes built before 1978, lead based paint may be present. Generally, if the
lead based paint is in good condition, not cracking or peeling, it is not a
hazard. If the condition is hazardous, the paint will either need to be removed
or sealed in such a manner as to eliminate the hazard.
Another common environmental concern with the home is radon. Radon is a
radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay of uranium in the soil.
Pretty much all homes have some radon present, tests can determine if the
level present is higher than what is considered safe. If the level is too high, a
radon reduction system will need to be installed.
In older homes built more than 30 years ago, asbestos was used in many
types of insulation and other building materials. If the asbestos is releasing
fibers into the air, it needs to be removed or repaired by a professional
contractor specializing in asbestos cleanup. But, if the asbestos material is in
good repair, and not releasing fibers, it poses no hazard and can be left alone.
