Availability information for this program
Presented by Georgia Public Broadcasting, "Home Diagnosis" is "This Old House" meets "CSI". It is the first program ever dedicated to promoting measured home performance, building science concepts & forensic testing, while highlighting best practices for home improvements/high performance building proven through diagnostics. Led by YouTube Home Performance expert Corbett Lunsford and his wife Grace, they travel the nation in their high performance tiny house, # TinyLab, the foil for each episode's home. Along the way, they meet with homeowners to diagnose their mystery problems and prescribe real solutions to help them prove their home is a safe, healthy, comfortable place for their family, as well as addressing the public television audience and informing them on how these lessons can apply in their homes as well.

Outside Sneaking In
Can we ever truly be safe living in a bubble? It turns out that not only are we vulnerable to outdoor pollution from all sides, no matter how we build or how we live- once that pollution reacts with indoor pollution, we have a whole new cocktail to get under control.
