It’s could also have potentially turned your home into a hazard area, particularly if you have children. Dust and debris could be floating in the air for you and your family to breath in. Even if the house is hooked up with a nice filtration system for the air, that is not always a 100% effective method. Most people think it is okay to get the home remodeling project or construction debris removed all at once.

Some of the Home Remodeling Materials may be Hazardous

If you’re remodeling an older home, you may find that some of the materials used in the room may be classified as hazardous now. Asbestos and lead paint are two of the most common issues faced with older homes. If you are acting as a contractor doing it yourself, it is important that you follow safety guidelines when home remodeling. With these you want to make sure you’re disposing of them properly, which often means having professionals handle them.  Make sure that you contact a licensed company like Junk-B-Gone to remove and home remodeling debris you may have.

Mold is another problem you might find when performing a home remodeling project.  If you discover mold in the walls as your work, you again should consider contacting a professional. Not just to dispose of the moldy material, but to test the home for additional mold. There could have been a hazard in your home long before you began remodeling and it’s imperative to get rid of it as quickly as possible. When home remodeling, make sure you always wear a mask and consider a machine that can filter the toxins out of the air so you are NOT breathing them in.

Thick TOXIC Dust in the Air

Depending on the work being done, there could be a lot of dust in the air. With heavy machinery being moved within the home, demolition of beams and frames, paint, dust, dirt, all these listed are toxic and is roaming around in the air during a home remodeling project. This is why it is very important to take safety precautions and wear a mask, invest in an air filtration machine, anything you can do to protect yourself from home remodeling project hazards. This means sealing off the room if possible and getting any furniture in the room removed. The could create a crowded room. One thing to consider is getting rid of any outdated appliances or other junk that is taking up space in the home. Since you’re disposing of your debris you might want to add to the pile to be removed. This will give you space to put some of the furniture you’ve had to take from the room being worked on.

Now the Construction Debris is Piling Up

Provided there isn’t anything hazardous in the material you’ve removed, you still need a place to put it. You don’t want to pile it up somewhere in the home, particularly if you have small children in the home. Piling up home remodeling project debris within the home in the worst thing you can do! All the debris will pollute the air with even more toxins, dust, mold, dirt, etc. Maybe the drywall that you cut down from the bathroom had mold on it that was unnoticed.
