we just got done with an inspection at my parents house. they were having some nasty termite problems so the exterminator suggested we get the house tested for dhmo residue. much to our surprise, the house was covered in it. now we gotta find a place to stay for a month so they can rip up the entire house and treat it. they said that its coming in through the pipes. to help prevent it, they will be doing something with the pipes to keep this from coming in. i didnt get all the details, but it sounds like a bunch of work to be done.
have you any of you guys gotten your houses tested for dhmo? if not, you may want to very soon.
What is Dihydrogen Monoxide?
The dangers, uses and potential threats posed by this chemical, Dihydrogen Monoxide, are widespread, and some feel, terrifying. Here is just a small taste of what Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is:
* Some call Dihydrogen Monoxide the "Invisible Killer"
* Others think dihydrogen monoxide should be Banned
* Dihydrogen Monoxide is linked to gun violence
* Dihydrogen monoxide was found at every recent school shooting
* Athletes use DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE, or DHMO, to enhance performance
* Dihydrogen Monoxide has been found in our rivers, lakes, oceans and streams
* Dihydrogen Monoxide is a major component of acid rain
* Thousands die each year after inhaling dihydrogen monoxide
* Dihydrogen Monoxide can be deadly
* Find out the truth about Dihydrogen Monoxide
Damn that sucks. Do your parent's live in a wet area? I've heard before that DHMO tends to break out in excessive quantities when water or moisture seeps into normally dry areas of a building. Make sure you check the roof for leaks, or foundation/basement for cracks.
WOW you gotta watch out for that DHMO its dangerious stuff ive even heard that 100 percent of the population has been exposed to large quanties at least at one point in there lives im a plumber and i know the trouble it causes with pipes if it werent for DHMO damage id probably be out of a job
If that's the case you may get by with having some irrigation plumbing pressed into the soil uderneath the house, and have it filled with some sort of porous material (forgot the name). Usually it'll absorb the DHMO enough to prevent future outbreaks.
Damn we better have our basement checked out... we have a problem with flooding down there some times after heavy rains, so its pretty damp down there. Thanks for bringing this up hawii :bigthumb:
I know alot of people who had to do that here in Hawaii, its craazy. when I lived in Kaneohe my neighbor had the same problem. Now i live back on base, since they just built new housing.
