What is a sick home — and how do you avoid one?

A “sick home” is one that makes the people (and even the furniture) inside it unwell over time. Cold, damp conditions are the perfect breeding ground for mould, fungi and dust mites — all of which are linked to asthma, respiratory illness and allergies.

The fix usually comes down to the basics: good insulation, effective heating, ventilation and moisture control. It's not just a rental-property issue — a dry, warm home protects your family's health and avoids costly repairs and replacements down the track.
