Indoor Air Quality Testing
Comprehensive IAQ assessment covering mold spores, VOCs, and ventilation performance.
About Indoor Air Quality Testing
Indoor air quality concerns extend beyond visible mold — poor ventilation, HVAC contamination, and elevated humidity can all contribute to a less healthy indoor environment even without obvious mold growth. Our IAQ assessments provide a comprehensive picture of what's actually in the air you're breathing.
Assessment typically includes air sampling for mold spores compared against outdoor baseline counts, humidity and temperature logging over time, HVAC system inspection (filters, ductwork, condensate drainage), and identification of any VOC or musty-odor sources.
IAQ testing is particularly valuable for households with occupants experiencing unexplained respiratory symptoms, prospective home buyers wanting an objective baseline, and commercial tenants raising air quality concerns to property management.
Our Process
Baseline Sampling
Indoor air samples are compared against a simultaneous outdoor baseline sample to establish relative spore concentration.
HVAC Inspection
We inspect filtration, ductwork condition, and condensate drainage for contamination risk.
Humidity Logging
Data loggers can track humidity and temperature over several days to identify problem patterns.
Findings Report
You receive lab results alongside a plain-English explanation and any recommended next steps.
Air Quality Frequently Asked Questions
What's a normal indoor mold spore count?
There's no official EPA standard, but indoor counts at or below outdoor ambient levels, with no unusual species predominating, are generally considered a good baseline. A lab-accredited comparison is the most reliable way to interpret your results.
Can indoor air quality issues cause health symptoms even without visible mold?
Yes. Elevated humidity, HVAC contamination, and hidden moisture within wall or floor assemblies can affect air quality and trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals before any visible mold growth appears.
How long does an IAQ assessment take?
A standard residential assessment takes about 1-2 hours on-site, plus 2-5 business days for independent lab turnaround on any samples collected.
