Indoor Air Quality
According to the CDC, it is estimated that we spend as much as 90% of our time indoors. However, the air inside our homes is not necessarily safer than the air outside. Some estimate that the indoor air quality is as much as 80% more polluted than outside air. Symptoms of bad air include:
- ~ Headaches
~ Breathing Problems
~ Sneezing
~ Coughing
~ Drowsiness
~ Lethargy
~ Itching and watery eyes
~ Mysterious smells.
To solve odor problems, we purchase air fresheners, candles, even air cleaners with the end result to reduce odors and create a more pleasant environment. But you’re only scratching the surface of the problem if you don’t identify exactly what may be lurking in the air you breathe. That’s where our Indoor Air Quality evaluation can help.
How Does it Work?
Fill out the Online Questionnaire
First off, take a moment and fill out the online Indoor Air Quality questionnaire. This will give us a better idea of what is contributing to your air quality. Once completed, we can schedule a time to set up the testing equipment.
Testing the Air
Once we schedule a date, we will set up the equipment to test the air in your home, vehicle, office, wherever you spend time indoors for the presence of the following:
- Air particulates (as small as 0.1 microns – 1,000 times smaller than a human hair)
- Carbon Dioxide
- Temperature
- Humidity
- VOC’s (organic chemicals in the air)
- ATP (the main energy source for all living organisms)
- Helps identify the presence of microorganisms on surfaces
- Optional A-LA-Carte testing
- Radon
- Radon Equipment inspection
- Mold
- Detailed analysis reporting of air particulates to determine source
Generate a Detailed Report
Next, we will provide you with a detailed report based on our findings. This report compiles the data taken from your home and gives you a detailed description of how healthy the air is that you are breathing.
Discuss Options for Remediation
And finally, if needed, we can go over ways to remediate the issues you have with your air. These may include:
- Cleaning your HVAC ducts
- Upgrading your filtration media
- Air Purification units
- DIY options
- And others

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the test take?
Typically, we can get an adequate sampling in as little as 30 minutes. We will try and sample different rooms to get a complete picture of what your air contains.
Do I need to vacate the space during testing?
No. You are welcome to continue what you were doing as normal. You will not interfere with the testing. The only request we have is that pets and larger groups are absent from the room we are testing. This may skew the results.
How long does it take to do the questionnaire?
The questionnaire will normally take about 10 minutes to complete. It helps us when producing the report to know what factors may be contributing to your air quality.
