Midwest Healthy Home

Helping property owners understand that a building is a system. If you are not testing you are guessing

About Us

At Midwest Healthy Home, we believe that health starts in the home. Midwest healthy home helps property owners troubleshoot moisture problems, Air quality concerns, and Energy Efficiency Issues.

We know that all buildings are designed to work as a system. Just like the human body is designed to work as a system. If one or multiple parts of the system are not working properly the whole system can be negatively affected. The health of the structure has a direct effect on the health of the occupants.

At Midwest Healthy Home, we are dedicated to discovering the root cause of the problems in the home.

 

Our Services

Healthy home consulting

A full consultation includes a complete diagnosis of the building shell and all of the mechanical components that heat/cool, and ventilate the structure.   Using industry-standard testing equipment including Blower door, IR camera, Moisture sensing equipment, and air quality testing equipment.

Test includes:

Building Energy Analysis

A residential energy analysis is a review of a home’s energy performance, including an assessment of both the home’s energy features and the household’s energy consumption patterns. Home energy audits identify how efficiently your home is operating and where your home is wasting energy.

Ice Dam diagnostics

Ice Dams are a common problem in cold climates.  Warm air escaping into the attic can cause severe damage to the structure.  The solution to the problem may not be as easy as you think.  Adding Ventilation to the attic is usually not the solution and may make the issue worse.  Adding attic insulation and sealing the attic 

Moisture testing interior and exterior

Moisture is a large problem in Midwest climates.  The best way to test for moisture is to prob the structure.  Getting behind the siding, stucco, or brick is the only way to truly know if you have a moisture problem.  It is very difficult to see issues without testing.  If you are not testing, you are just guessing.

The Evolution of Building Science

In the mid-1970’s homebuilders and renovators began using tighter construction, more insulation, air/vapor barriers, and energy-efficient windows. While these were great improvements, other aspects of the home system suffered.
