Greensboro Buyer Resources for Potential Home Hazards

If you’re looking for a home in Greensboro, High Point or the rest of the Triad, you’ll be presented with many disclosure forms and inspection options to make you aware of some potential health hazards which sometimes show up in residential housing (and elsewhere).  These issues can range from lead-based paint to mold to radon gas and being educated about them can usually save Triad home buyers some unnecessary worry and stress.

There is a lot of information out there on the subject of health and environmental hazards in our homes.  While some of it is quite accurate, some of it seems to be produced more to instill fear than knowledge.  For this reason I have put together a few reliable internet resources so that folks can get some unbiased information about several potential hazards.

EPA Information on Lead Hazards

EPA Guide to Mold in Your Home

An EPA Citizens Guide to Radon

Most of these hazards are simply something to be aware of as you shop for a home.  A reasonable level of concern is warranted in conjunction with accurate information and an understanding that these hazards effect an extremely small percentage of homeowners.  Check out information from unbiased sources, do your own due diligence,  and you’ll be able to make the best decisions regarding the types of additional inspections you need.
