Healthy Home Practices Your Contractor Should Use When Remodeling

Apart from food, there are a lot of ways people can incorporate health-conscious practices into their lifestyle. One surprising aspect into which healthy practices can be incorporated is home remodeling. In this article, bathroom remodel company DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Southern Lakes explains ways home remodelers are starting to incorporate health-conscious practices in their projects.

Building Healthy Homes

You’ll know you’re working with a reliable home remodeling contractor when all of your concerns, including the health impacts of the remodeling process itself, are taken into consideration and addressed. Make sure you’ve chosen a good contractor that observes some or all of these healthy home remodeling practices.

Offering healthy material options. Remodelers should have a list of healthy materials and alternatives homeowners can choose from. PVC-free and low-VOC products are a good place to start.
Ventilation. Ventilation will help contain pollutants within the work area and keep them out of living areas. A good home remodeler will make it one of their primary goals to protect clients from dust, allergens and other pollutants.
Taking the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to heart. Contractors should be well aware of the toxicity, health effects, reactivity, storage, disposal, and spill or leak procedures for the products and substances they handle.
Testing for lead and asbestos. Exposure to these two substances is harmful. Ask if your contractor has protocols in place should they encounter lead or asbestos.
Correcting the underlying cause of the problem. A good remodeler applies long-term and effective solutions that will eradicate home problems once and for all.
