Episodes
To an outsider, the Hatfields would appear to be the perfect Queensland family. Suntanned, popular, attractive and outgoing, this busy family is heavily involved in their semi-rural local community. But something is seriously wrong. The Hatfields are very sick.
Ilana Kempler redesigned many of the contemporary features in her immaculate villa in Melbourne equipped with all the mod cons and large entertaining areas. She believes that dust triggers her asthma, and is a self-confessed 'clean freak', but despite all her efforts the dust keeps coming back within hours of turning on the ducted air conditioning system. But it's not always what you can see which is the problem, the invisible indoor air can be harmful too.
On a whim, ex-army photographer Kevin Walton and his wife Sarah sold their newly self-renovated house in Bristol and told their 8 year-old daughter Joely to pack her bags for a year long road trip across Australia. With a swimming pool and lush tropical surrounds, the home was way beyond anything the Walton's could afford back home. And the whole family lapped up the Australian outdoors lifestyle. But Kevin now feels that the house is killing him!
Bronwyn and Brian Edler chose their home for its tranquil location in the outskirts of Sydney. Surrounded by gum trees in a quiet neighbourhood, it seemed the ideal place to raise their two young sons, Nathan, 2, and Sebastian, 9 months. Little do they know the extent of the mould in their house and the insidious effect it is having on their ill health.
In winter Trenna and Steve Moore play with their three young boys in a large family room heated by an un-flued gas heater, but after one son was hospitalized with asthma, they discover several toxic time bombs in their home.
'Is Your House Killing You?' is a groundbreaking, on the pulse, scientific makeover series. Ordinary families are invited to take up the challenge to 'detox' their homes. From inner city apartments to country fibros, our expert team swarms, probes and strips back a diverse range of homes in a CSI-style investigation. Some homes sparkle innocently and others are environmental monsters, but they all harbour a parallel microscopic world of hidden dangers.
