Instant Results - Air Quality & Mold Detection Survey – Report Provided

Mold spreads in the air in tiny particles. Using our Particle Counter, we monitor indoor air quality and test for various airborne pollutants, including bacteria, mold, pollen, smoke, and other particles that can cause allergies and illnesses.

Our service includes an indoor mold and air quality survey, as well as an outdoor control sample for comparison.

We utilize a state-of-the-art particle scanner to evaluate air quality by counting and sizing particles in the air. Readings from mold-affected rooms typically reveal high numbers of particles 0.3 to 20 microns in size. This handheld tool helps determine the number of pollutants in a building and assess cleanliness in a controlled environment.

Our survey also includes testing for high humidity and temperature.

You are provided with instant results in a detailed yet easy-to-understand report. This survey option saves you the initial expense of laboratory analysis. Confirming whether mold is present may be sufficient to guide your next steps.

However, additional testing and laboratory analysis options are available at an extra cost.

What We Do

Our Air Quality and Mold Detection Survey assesses the air quality of your home or business.

This is NOT a lab sample or lab test. No consumable items (e.g., swabs, Air-O-Cell cassettes) requiring laboratory evaluation are taken.

This survey counts particulate matter, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds in the air. It does not specify exactly what these are.

The air quality survey is considered a preliminary step before lab testing. We provide a final report indicating whether airborne material levels are concerning and whether further testing is needed.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment

This involves testing indoor air to identify potential pollutants and their sources.

The comprehensive survey also includes humidity and temperature testing.

Why It's Important

Poor indoor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and severe long-term health conditions.

What Pollutants We Survey For

• Mold: Basic detection through air surveys. Follow-up lab tests available for identification.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Emitted by paints, cleaners, and building materials.
• Allergens: Pet dander, pollen, dust mites, etc.
• Carbon Monoxide: A colorless, odorless gas harmful in high concentrations.

Outdoor Baseline/Control Sample

Included in our price, it provides a comparison baseline between indoor and outdoor air quality.

Additional Factors

• High Humidity: Promotes mold growth; low humidity can cause skin and respiratory issues.
• Temperature: Can affect comfort and air quality.

Benefits of an Indoor Air Survey

• Early detection: Helps avoid long-term health risks.
• Improved comfort: Healthier, more comfortable living space.
• Property protection: Prevents costly damage from long-term poor air quality.

Steps to Take After a Survey

• Identify the source: Eliminate or reduce the pollutant source.
• Improve ventilation: Use exhaust fans, open windows, and check ventilation systems.
• Control humidity: Maintain ideal levels to prevent mold.
• Use air purifiers: Helps remove pollutants from indoor air.

Why We Include an Outdoor Control Sample at No Extra Cost

The outdoor sample acts as a reference point, helping to isolate the impact of indoor sources by comparing with outdoor pollutant levels.

Detailed Explanation

• Establishing a Baseline: Represents outdoor air quality for accurate indoor comparison.
• Identifying Indoor Impact: Shows how much pollution comes from indoor sources versus outdoor infiltration.
