Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Testing

Electromagnetic field (EMF) testing is an essential service provided by Elite Home Inspection to ensure the safety and well-being of home buyers and home owners. EMFs are invisible areas of energy, often referred to as radiation, associated with the use of electrical power and various forms of natural and man-made lighting. During a home inspection, EMF testing involves measuring the electromagnetic radiation levels emitted by household appliances, electrical wiring, and nearby power lines.

Reasons For Getting an EMF Inspection

Exposure to high levels of EMFs may pose health risks, highlighting the importance of identifying and reducing these sources. Comprehensive EMF testing can assist home buyers and current homeowners in creating a safer living environment, minimizing exposure to potentially harmful radiation, and ensuring their home meets recommended safety standards, thereby providing peace of mind.

Health Concerns and Your Safety

Health Concerns

This is an ongoing debate! Exposure to EMF, especially from the higher frequency sources, can have dangerous health effects. From sleep disturbance and insomnia to severe impacts like cancer – are part of the health concerns EMF causes. This is where an EMF inspection comes in.

Home EMF testing involves an all-inclusive assessment of your home to highlight areas with a strong impact of EMF. The EMF inspectors are at your service to detect and inspect your place from top to bottom. Testing the EMF will make you aware of the EMF-affected areas so you can reduce its impact early on. Thus, an EMF inspection is best to identify areas of concern, protect your home, and ensure your relief.

Safety

You might have an idea reading until this section – electromagnetic fields or EMFs interrupt your appliances or electronic devices. This interference leads to your devices’ malfunction or creates a safety hazard. Although this mighty force is invisible, you can still take control of it. Wondering how? Through none other than an EMF inspection. The residential EMF testing detects the aspects under higher EMF levels, which allows you to take suitable actions. This way, you can always protect your family and home.

Occupational Safety

Working from home or operating a home-based business is a new normal. This could be the most affected group of people subject to EMF impact. If you are one of them – consider getting an EMF home testing before waiting for any signs of damage. An EMF inspection ensures occupational safety for those working remotely to create a safe workplace and reduce potential hazards.

Environmental Impact

When you reduce the EMF exposure, it will not only benefit your health but also contribute to a cleaner, greener environment. But! All this is possible when you step forward to conduct residential EMF testing. Identifying and mitigating sources of higher EMF levers can cut off energy usage – thanks to a professional EMF inspection.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

Several sensitive electronic gadgets, such as medical equipment, security alarms, entry sensors, and home automation systems, can interfere with EMF. As soon as you detect this field, you can ensure the proper functioning of your devices and systems as intended.

Mitigation

An EMF inspection is your roadmap to mitigate high levels of electromagnetic radiation. This way, you can assess the existing or potential hazards and take precautions accordingly. It may include relocating electronic devices, rewiring, or shielding to reduce EMF exposure.

Types of EMF Pollution Inspected in an EMF Home Testing.

EMF can be a massive pollutant, from affecting your metabolism to disrupting the chemical structures of your tissues. With the skyrocketing usage of electronic devices, the EMFs swell directly in the environment. In many scenarios, EMF pollution is stronger than any other pollution. An EMF home testing identifies and addresses these EMF pollutants. So, let’s discuss some types of EMF pollution inspected in a home EMF testing in this section.

types of emf pollution

Power System EMF

This type of EMF delivers electricity all around your home. It includes EMF generated by electrical wiring, circuit breakers, transformers, and power distribution systems within your home.

Radiofrequency (RF)

RF EMF inspection focuses on sources like smart sensors, smart appliances, cellular, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi routers, smart meters, cell towers, home security, 5G, home automation, cell phones, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. These sources emit high-frequency radiation.

Toxic Light Frequencies

This type of EMF pollution is emitted from manufactured lighting or fluorescent light. Its sources include LED, fluorescent, CFL, street lights, tech screens, appliance displays, and more. These release high-frequency EMF, having adverse effects on your health.

Dangers of EMF Exposures

There could be several hazards caused by EMF exposures. From having thermal or non-thermal effects to showing occupational hazards and electro sensitivity – you can expect anything. After realizing these EMF’s dangers you can better understand the importance of EMF inspections. Let’s discuss further:

  • Thermal Effects
    The more you are exposed to EMF, the more energy and heat your tissues absorb due to the thermal effect. This will lead to damaging your cells and tissues.
  • Non-Thermal Effects
    EMF can have non-thermal effects that are less understood or aware. This may include cellular, molecular, neurological, hormonal, metabolic, reproductive, and developmental effects. Yet, these non-thermal effects are still under study.
  • Occupational Hazards
    Workers exposed to high EMF levels in their homes may face occupational hazards, potentially affecting their health and productivity.
  • Electro Sensitivity
    Some people can be electro-sensitive, which means they will experience symptoms like headaches and fatigue in the presence of EMF. That’s where EMF home testing can help by identifying and mitigating sources of exposure.

I am extremely pleased with the property inspection I recently received. Very through, very professional, and the report was prepared and delivered to my agent and me overnight! Thank you, Elite Group!

Got David and he was amazing. He explained everything and answered any questions we had. We bought the elite package. Only bummed that the swabs from the mold he found were going to be an additional charge to send them to the lab. But he did find a leak that you could not have seen to the naked eye due to recent paint job. I would definitely use them again.

I’ve had the great opportunity to work with Philip Reams on two inspections and he has been excellent to work with each time. He is prompt, professional and did a very thorough job. He’s very knowledgeable and took time to answer all our questions. He put everyone at ease about the inspection and made the overall experience great.

Todd Smith of Elite Group Property Inspections inspected a property in Fullerton for us. He was very thorough and spent a lot of time on the phone with us after the inspection, as we were unable to be at the actual inspection. We would most definitely hire him again.

Used The Elite Group Property Inspection for our first home we just purchased. Our inspector was David Beaudoin he was AWESOME! He was on time, very professional. He took the time to explain and discuss any findings during the inspection. He was very thorough and everything was nicely consolidated in his report. Highly recommend them.
