Winter Home Hazzards
Winter weather can quietly impact your home and health. Poor insulation and blocked vents trap moisture, leading to mold and mildew that trigger allergies and breathing issues. Frozen pipes, roof leaks, and condensation can worsen air quality. Regular maintenance and proper ventilation help prevent these cold-season health hazards.
