What's included
Indoor Air Quality
Comprehensive IAQ testing, monitoring, and remediation services.
- Mold Spore Air Sampling
- Spore trap and viable air sampling quantifies airborne mold concentrations and identifies species, compared against outdoor baseline samples.
- VOC Analysis
- Volatile organic compound testing identifies chemical off-gassing from building materials, furnishings, and contamination sources.
- Particulate Monitoring
- Real-time particulate counters measure PM2.5 and PM10 levels, identifying dust, smoke, and other airborne particulate contamination.
- HVAC System Assessment
- Inspection of ductwork, coils, filters, and air handlers to identify contamination sources within the air distribution system.
- Radon Testing
- Short-term and long-term radon testing to assess this colorless, odorless radioactive gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
- Remediation Verification
- Post-remediation clearance testing verifies that mold, chemical, or particulate contamination has been successfully eliminated.
In-depth
How Our Indoor Air Quality Process Works
Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where air quality can be 2-5 times worse than outdoor air. Poor indoor air quality causes headaches, fatigue, respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and in severe cases, chronic illness. Identifying and resolving IAQ problems requires scientific testing — you cannot diagnose air quality issues by smell or visual inspection alone.
Our IAQ testing protocol covers the full spectrum of potential indoor air contaminants. Mold spore analysis identifies fungal contamination even when no visible mold is present. VOC testing detects chemical off-gassing from new building materials, cleaning products, or contamination events. Particulate monitoring measures dust, smoke, and fine particles that affect respiratory health. Each test provides quantitative data that drives targeted remediation.
For commercial buildings, IAQ problems often originate in the HVAC system. Contaminated ductwork, dirty coils, and inadequate filtration can distribute pollutants throughout an entire building. Our HVAC assessment includes visual inspection with video documentation, surface sampling, and airflow measurement. We identify contamination sources and recommend specific cleaning, filtration, or ventilation improvements.
Our IAQ reports provide clear, actionable results. We compare your test results against EPA, OSHA, and ASHRAE guidelines, explain what the numbers mean in plain language, and recommend specific steps to improve your air quality. For commercial clients, we can provide reports formatted for employee communications, regulatory compliance, and legal documentation.
