Air Quality Testing

Breaking Down Your Air

Indoor air investigations can be challenging. There are many aspects to indoor air quality, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), inorganic compounds, particulates, allergens, comfort factors, etc. One of the most difficult areas to look at is the VOCs, which are organic chemicals (containing primarily carbon and hydrogen) that vaporize easily at room temperature. There are thousands of different VOCs in indoor air from hundreds of sources, making both source identification and remediation plans challenging. Home air quality is a growing health issue throughout the US. Most homeowners and potential home buyers are unaware there is an accurate and inexpensive way to measure unwanted chemicals in-home air. Additionally, many states and lending institutions require that a home air quality audit be performed during the property sale.

Most people do not notice an indoor air quality problem unless they smell something unpleasant or feel ill. Still, many VOCs have no noticeable characteristics, leading to poor air quality without any perceptible signs. In developing an action plan for resolving VOC issues, it’s not sufficient to know which chemicals are present. Understanding the sources and how the VOCs will react to changing conditions is crucial to improving air quality.

The report covers the condition of the home’s heating system; central air conditioning system; interior plumbing system; electrical system; roof, attic, and visible insulation; walls, ceilings, floors, windows, and doors; the foundation, basement, and all structural components. The inspection report is sent to you online shortly after the inspection is completed. Each report is mobile-friendly and can easily be copied and pasted if you need to share the information with anyone.
