Helpful chart showing how to measure EMF in the home or office. Measuring for harmful levels of Electric, Magnetic, and Radio frequencies.

We measure for EMFs that exceed the guidelines set by such authoritative organizations as the The Institute of Building Biology + Ecology Neubeuern (IBN).

Exposure Guidelines for Magnetic Field,  Electric Field, and Radio-Frequencies

Building Biology Precautionary Guidelines (SBM-2008) For Sleeping Areas showing Magnetic and Electric:
Table 1. (milligauss and volts per square meter)

	NO CONCERN	SLIGHT CONCERN	SEVERE CONCERN	EXTREME CONCERN
AC Magnetic – Flux Density in milligauss (mG)	< 0.2	0.2 - 1	1 - 5	> 5
AC Electric Field Strength with ground potential in volt per meter (V/m)	>  1	1 - 5	5 - 50	> 50

1. Building Biology Precautionary Guidelines (SBM-2008) For Sleeping Areas showing Radiofrequencies:
Table 2. (uWatts/m2)

	NO CONCERN	SLIGHT CONCERN	SEVERE CONCERN	EXTREME CONCERN
Power density in microwatt
Per square meter uW/m2	< 0.1	0.1 - 10	10 - 1000	> 1000
Per square cm uW/cm2	> 0.00001	0.00001 - 0.001	0.001 - 0.1	> 0.1

Note: Many homes we test are in the shaded area (Severe Concern).
We measure AC Magnetic, AC Electric, and Radio Frequency (RF) field strengths and assist in the process of remediation.

Reducing the EMF levels in your home, what to do in addition to a home inspection.

What can you do in addition to an EMF HOME INSPECTION?  There were already inevitable remediation steps that come as a result.  We might have helped you move your bed to a better part of the room, installed Graham Stetzer filters, and dozens of other things, there's more.  Often, an EMF Home Inspection (home survey) may also identify high readings in your plumbing or electrical system as well. This will require changes to your electrical and plumbing systems, such as the rewiring and changing of outlets and switches.

In addition, you should remove all grounding wires from the copper pipes that go along the ceiling of your basement. These wires will cause High EMF readings in the floor directly above.

Also be sure to Install a dielectric union to cut the flow of electricity along your water pipes. You don't want grounding to be accomplished by means of water pipes, you want the electrical wire to go along the lower part of the basement wall, and grounded to the intake valve below the dielectric union. This will divert high EMFs away from your house.

If you have cable, you might also consider putting an in-line isolator on the cable connection to your home.
