Shelter Ecology consults with individuals and families all over the United States via telephone and is able to develop a protocol specific to the person(s) involved in the unhealthy situation. Cindy asks specific questions that allow her to go straight to the indoor air problems. She then consults about the environmental pollutants involved, which are causing the problems - and prescribes specific products and methods for "do it yourself" clean up. Shelter Ecology offers a "first aid tool kit" for maintaining healthier existing homes or offices (old or new) as well as for new construction.
This does require an investment in the specified tools. However, these up front costs are minimal in comparison to what you would spend on testing and remediation through an industrial hygienist. If Cindy feels that your problem requires clean up beyond what you can do yourself, she will recommend other professionals to carry out the work needed in order to create a healthier existing home or a healthy new home (or office).
Cindy’s approach to creating a healthy building is not based on science, but on her own life experiences with mold and other biological / chemical pollutants common in 90% of all homes and office buildings in the south and north east. Most buildings that are 5 years old or older are not constructed to "dry out" resulting in mold problems. And many existing tightly constructed buildings contain toxic indoor materials along with a lack of fresh air infiltration. These are common problems that can be fixed or improved upon.
A written prescription for creating a healthier building for you, your family or co-workers is prepared by Cindy after the consultation along with any product or methodology literature to back it up. This comprehensive service is offered @ $85/hr. Most consultation and prescriptions require 1-3 hours of time depending on the size of the project and the number of issues to be addressed. For more information on Shelter Ecology’s philosophy for creating a healthy home or office, go to the Background page and the Healthy Home Tour, describing in detail – her own healthy home, which Cindy designed.
