Allergy Problems Traced To New Home Construction
Posted by admin under: Main Jan 13Many new homeowners, particularly those that purchase modular or mobile homes, develop some form of respiratory distress. Often, those individuals attribute the affliction to “allergies”, a common term used to describe a number of medically-related symptoms.
However, manufactured homes, especially ones built to Super Good Cents (SGC) standards, tend to be very “tight”. When they are first inhabited the indoor air quality can may be less than optimal.
For that reason, SGC homes most always have some sort of passive or active ventilation built into them to provide for a constant low-volume flow of fresh air. If the ventilation system for the home is blocked, inactive or not working for any other reason, then individuals experience higher than normal indoor pollutants, commonly called “out-gassing”.
