Why have a pre-purchase EMF Inspection performed?
You shouldn’t buy a property without proper home inspection, why shouldn’t you buy a property without checking it against Radiation then? A pre-purchase EMF inspection aims on identifying any potential issues which may be impossible or very costly to correct after moving in. Or it can lead to minor problems that can be advised seller to be fixed before purchase in a balanced market.
In addition to the obvious potential EMF sources such as nearby high-voltage power lines, less obvious sources of EMFs can exist inside the home itself. Electrical wiring issues or ‘Net Current” found on metal plumbing, gas lines, or bonding wires are also potential sources of EMFs. In fact, wiring issues inside a home can often create EMFs that are much higher than EMFs from nearby power lines. Thankfully, these types of wiring issues can often be easily corrected once identified.
What’s included?
A pre-purchase EMF inspection includes an assessment of EMFs from the following potential sources:
· EMFs from external sources such as overhead power lines, and nearby cell towers, Distribution transformer on the utility pole or pad mounted on the ground
· EMFs from wiring and/or grounding issues inside the home
· EMFs from ‘hotspots’ such as electrical panels, electrical motors, HVAC units inside the home which may be located too close to sleeping areas
· In older homes, EMFs from knob and tube wiring which may still exist inside the home.
