Improve Indoor Air Quality & Drainage | Homeward Environmental

Your home is more than a place to rest—it’s a living environment that directly impacts your family’s health, comfort, and peace of mind. At Homeward Environmental in Indianapolis, we understand how tightly built homes and poorly managed water can contribute to long-term problems.

🏠 Modern Homes: Energy‑Efficient & Airtight

Homes constructed or remodeled in recent decades are built to be energy efficient, meaning they’re tightly sealed to prevent heat loss. While this is great for dropping energy bills, it also restricts natural air exchange.

Insufficient airflow: Modern homes exchange fresh air with the outside only about 3 times per hour, compared to 10 times per hour in older homes. That trapped air can increase dust, allergens, and VOC buildup.
Humidity buildup: Moisture from daily activities—such as cooking, showering, or drying clothes—gets trapped indoors, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew.
Soil gas & radon: Poor airflow can raise levels of various soil gases (like radon) inside the home.
Temperature imbalance: Stifled air circulation can make some rooms too warm while others remain chilly, forcing HVAC systems to work harder and increasing your energy usage.

How Homeward Environmental Helps

With a range of targeted services, we create healthier indoor environments by improving air quality and controlling water intrusion around your home’s foundation.

1. Indoor Air Quality Testing

Our 2‑hour indoor air quality inspections measure common pollutants—dust, allergens, mold spores, VOCs, humidity levels, and more. This data helps us recommend solutions tailored to the specific conditions of your home.

2. Specialized Ventilation Systems

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs): Exchange stale indoor air with fresher outdoor air while preserving energy efficiency.
Attic fans & mechanical vent fans: Eliminate hot attic air, reduce moisture buildup, and ease the cooling burden on your HVAC during summer months.
Foil‑faced radiant barriers: Installed in attics, they reflect radiant heat and reinforce vapor control.

3. Radon & Soil Gas Mitigation

Radon is one of the top health threats found in homes. We inspect soil gas levels under your slab and implement mitigation systems if radon or related contaminants exceed safe thresholds.

4. Insulation & Ductwork Sealing

Tightening your building envelope often requires upgrading insulation and sealing ducts to maintain consistent temperatures and prevent moisture infiltration.

5. Specialized Outdoor Water Management

Without proper drainage, water can pool next to your foundation, seep into your basement, and destabilize soil around your home. Our outdoor water-management solutions include:

French drains & high‑octane drain tile: Subsurface systems redirect groundwater away from vulnerable areas.
Buried downspout extensions: Direct rainwater from your roof safely away from the foundation.
Re‑grading & drainage swales: Create proper slope and channels to prevent surface water buildup.
Yard drains, culverts, dry wells: Keep lawns usable and prevent soggy “swamp zones.”

Plus, we also install retaining walls to slow erosion on slopes and add beautiful structure to your landscape.

Benefits You’ll Notice

Better moisture control: Minimized risk of mold, mildew, and wood rot.
Lower energy bills: Efficient airflow & insulation enhance HVAC performance.
