About this episode

This episode discusses home safety risks and practical advice for making homes safer with expert Joe Mazza.

Your home is supposed to be your safe place, but beware that many of the biggest safety risks are hiding in plain sight. In this episode of Grown Up Stuff , Matt and Lea sit down with home inspector and safety expert Joe Mazza, who you might know from his HGTV shows. He talks about the risks most of us don't think about until something goes wrong. From smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to electrical hazards, radon, fire prevention, and emergency planning, Joe helps separate the truly important safety upgrades from the don't-waste-your-money ones. Whether you're moving into your first apartment, buying a house, raising a family, or just trying to keep the place from falling apart, this episode is full of practical advice you can actually use. You'll learn the most common safety mistakes people make, what every home should have, and the simple steps that can make your home safer without breaking the bank. Because being a grown-up means realizing that home safety is a lot more than remembering to lock the front door. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
