WHY INDOOR AIR QUALITY MATTERS

Indoor air can be up to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA. Poor air quality can cause allergies, asthma, headaches, and fatigue, and long-term exposure to pollutants like mold, VOCs, or carbon monoxide can be dangerous. Air quality testing helps identify hidden contaminants and ensures your home or workplace is safe, healthy, and comfortable.

  • Poor indoor air quality is linked to a range of health issues, including:

    • Allergies and asthma

    • Headaches and fatigue

    • Respiratory problems

    • Long-term effects from exposure to mold, VOCs, or carbon monoxide

  • Air quality testing can detect pollutants you may not even know are present, such as:

    • Mold spores behind walls or under floors

    • VOCs from paint, cleaning products, or furniture

    • Dangerous gases like carbon monoxide

  • Even moderate levels of pollutants can cause discomfort, such as:

    • Musty odors

    • Dry or irritated eyes and skin

    • Stuffy or stale air

  • Testing provides peace of mind that your environment is safe, especially important for:

    • Homes with children, elderly residents, or people with health conditions

    • Workplaces where productivity and employee well-being matter

    • Schools, daycares, and healthcare facilities

  • Mold and moisture problems can damage your property and lead to expensive repairs if left unchecked. Early detection through testing can save time and money.

Clean air isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.

Regular air quality testing is a smart, proactive step toward creating a healthier, safer, and more comfortable indoor environment for everyone. Using advanced professional equipment, we measure a range of indoor pollutants and comfort indicators — all of which are listed below

  • Detects fine particles from dust, pollen, mold, and smoke that can penetrate deep into the lungs.

  • Measures chemical pollutants released by paints, cleaning products, carpets, and more—identified in parts per billion (ppb). 

  • We use a precise NDIR sensor to track CO₂—an indicator of ventilation effectiveness and occupant comfort.

  • Essential for evaluating comfort, mold risk, and HVAC performance.

  • Derived from temperature and humidity to assess condensation risk and potential for microbial growth.

  • Measures indoor air pressure—helpful for diagnosing airflow issues, drafts, and balancing.

Air Sampling & Assessment

We begin with on-site air sampling using our professional meter. This process takes about 30 minutes per space. While the device collects data, we visually inspect the area for signs of moisture, mold, poor ventilation, or other potential problem areas.

Detailed Report

After testing, we provide a comprehensive report outlining all findings. We’ll walk you through each result—explaining what it means, how it may impact your indoor environment, and what to watch for moving forward.

Solutions & Follow-Up

if any issues are detected, we offer practical solutions or recommendations tailored to your space. Whether it’s improving ventilation or addressing moisture concerns, we’ll help you take the next steps—and schedule follow-up testing if needed.

 FAQs

  • For most homes and workplaces, air quality testing is recommended once every 1 to 2 years as part of routine maintenance. However, you should consider more frequent testing if:

    • You’ve recently completed renovations or moved into a new space

    • You notice persistent odors, moisture issues, or respiratory symptoms

    • You have young children, elderly residents, or individuals with allergies or asthma

    • You’ve experienced water damage or suspect mold growth

    • You want to verify improvements after remediation or HVAC work

    Regular testing ensures your indoor environment stays safe, healthy, and comfortable year-round.

  • In most cases, testing 1 to 2 key areas of your home is sufficient to get a clear picture of overall indoor air quality—especially if those areas are frequently used (like bedrooms or living rooms) or where issues are suspected (such as basements or bathrooms).

    However, if your home is large, has multiple floors, or you’re experiencing specific symptoms in certain rooms, we may recommend testing additional spaces for a more accurate assessment. Our technician will help determine the best sampling locations during the initial visit.

  • Testing takes about 30 minutes per space, depending on the size and number of areas tested. We also take time to assess visible conditions during the process.

  • Yes—preliminary results are available immediately after testing. A full detailed report with our findings and recommendations can sometimes take up to 24–48 hours.

  • No, it’s not necessary to leave. Testing is non-invasive, quiet, and safe to conduct while you're at home or work.

  • Not exactly. Our air quality testing can detect conditions that may support mold growth—such as high humidity, poor ventilation, or elevated particulate levels—but it does not include mold surface sampling or lab analysis. If we identify signs that suggest a mold issue, we may recommend a professional mold inspection by a certified specialist.
