House Hazards

The House Hazards domestic scientists put a buzz kill on the handiness of table saws. But it's their research on the hidden dangers of water heaters that really get them into hot water.

From 5-alarm chili to all-purpose flour power, the House Hazards domestic scientists get cooking to separate the facts from kitchen fiction when it comes to potential culinary dangers.

From a well-lit tree to a hot date night, the House Hazards test home goes up in smoke when a bad case of gas leads to internal combustion. Dan, Brendan and Francesca take the heat so others can avoid domestic meltdown.

From bug bombs to hare-triggered fires, your home is out to get you. The House Hazards team of domestic scientists unleashes an army of energized rabbits, exploding insect repellent and blazing rattraps.

Dan and Francesca debate the merits of an open-window policy when it comes to hurricane survival. Brendan and Dan go bowling - on the roof - to test whether the home is meteor proof.

After Brendan and Francesca break and enter his home, Dan flees to the panic room but it's no match for the well equipped, yet unwanted, guests. The domestic scientists then reveal the shocking truth about electric fences.

Sparks fly when Dan teaches Francesca about bathtub electrocution, and Francesca creates some fireworks of her own in the bedroom. The two then get into double trouble in the kitchen.

Brendan turns his amp up to get the music popping, but the result could shatter the party vibe. Dan and Francesca place a "bar" bet on, which is more dangerous - the tiki bar or the barbecue? And we blow up an air mattress.

Brendan maxes out a Laundry machine, Dan sets fire to a dryer and Francesca challenges Dan to see which is dirtier: the toilet or the kitchen sink.

The hosts get to work demonstrating real house hazards: a septic tank explosion, a grease fire, and what happens when you knock the neck off a helium tank.
