Having a home comes with great responsibilities and tasks that need an attentive mind to handle. There are some issues that you can ignore about your home but in the end have grave consequences either financially or health wise.

Poor ventilation accelerates the cost of maintaining a home especially structural damage with timber in particularly. Apart from having to incur maintenance cost, a homeowner faces health risks that include developing respiratory problems and inhalation of musty stale air.
