TEST YOUR AIR QUALITY
Indoor Air Quality Testing by Inspired Indoor Air
There’s no need to fear your home. Your home should be a space you’re comfortable in, and the air quality of your home can influence that. Many people don’t think about their home’s air quality. However, it’s essential that you consider it. Clean and healthy air is the best way to prevent all types of health complications. Air filled with mold, spores, bacteria, fine particles or dangerous gasses can lead to flu-like symptoms, allergies, or worse. The worst part is that you may not even know that the air inside your home is dangerous.
That’s why Inspired Indoor Air offers indoor air quality testing. Steve Hergott leads our indoor air quality testing. Hergott, a 40-year professional, has an engineering degree from Cornell and wrote a book focused on indoor air quality. If you think you need an indoor air quality test, you need to talk to the best in the business. You’ll feel relief just by calling.
How Do I Know If I Have Poor Indoor Air Quality?
Many different factors affect the air quality inside your home. Mold, pollen, dust mites, lead, radon, and even formaldehyde are just some of the few things that could be floating around in your home’s air. Typically, some level of these compounds and fungi are always present in your home. However, some catalysts cause the levels of these contaminants to rise. For example, a spot that is constantly wet will be more susceptible to mold growth. Once this area starts to grow mold, your home’s air will fill with an abnormal amount of mold particles.
However, different substances in your air will affect you differently. Homes with abnormal amounts of formaldehyde or radon in the air put their occupants at risk for lung cancer. Likewise, long-term lead exposure has been proven to cause cancer and a host of other health complications related to the central nervous system. Air quality testing makes sure that you’re safe and protected against anything in your air.
You may be asking, “If mold is most likely the problem, why can’t I just look for it, and deal with it, myself?” While you could seek out mold buildup inside your home, it can be quite a dangerous task. Mold exposure, even just a small amount, puts you at risk for illness and infection. What’s more, you may not even be able to spot the mold. Often, mold in the home isn’t in plain sight. Much of the mold growth that happens in homes is hidden beneath drywall or in crawl spaces or attics. Plus, while mold is a common contaminant, it might not be the one you have. It would be best if you had air quality testing to get an idea of what is infecting your house.
Testing the air quality will determine whether your home’s air is safe or not. The best part is you won’t need to crawl around your house or tear up any drywall to know if your home has a problem with contaminants. Air testing is non-invasive, so there won’t be any damage to your home during the process. Read our FAQs page for more on Air Quality Testing.
Our Air Quality Testing Services
Air Sampling:
One of the most effective methods of determining a home’s air quality is a broad air sampling. Air sampling seeks to find any contaminants in the air by sending a sample to a laboratory for analysis. Air sampling allows us to get a good idea of what may be the cause of your problems. It can be useful in detecting mold, harmful gases, dust, and microorganisms.
VOC Sampling:
VOC stands for volatile organic compounds. A volatile organic compound is an organic chemical that can evaporate at room temperature. It’s the product of paints, stains, wood preservatives, and a multitude of other substances found in the home. It’s normal to have some amount of VOCs in the house. However, increased levels can lead to various health risks. We can test to see if these levels are safe or not. Formaldehyde is a VOC.
Dust Sampling:
Dust is a normal part of owning a home. We’re sure you’re familiar with the weekly task of dusting tables, shelves, and ceiling fans, but sometimes, dust levels can be too much. Some homes can produce more dust than homeowners can dispose of, even with weekly dusting. You may think that you’ve dusted thoroughly, but dust particles can stay suspended in your home’s air causing allergies and respiratory complications. Our dust sampling might identify the cause of home health complaints.
Combustible Gas Detection:
Combustible gas is any gas that is considered to be flammable, toxic, or oxygen depleting. In homes, we test for a variety of different gases that could cause harm to the homeowner or those living within the dwelling, including pets. One dangerous gas you may have heard of is carbon monoxide, which can kill. Carbon monoxide is particularly dangerous because it’s odorless and colorless. However, our testing methods can find out if there’s an unsafe level in your home.
HVAC Consulting:
Parts of a home’s defense against unhealthy air is the HVAC system. Since HVAC systems distribute air throughout a home, they can spread unsafe substances in the house. HVAC systems and their accessories can also be the best solutions to indoor air quality problems. We offer HVAC consultations to homeowners who are worried about their HVAC unit’s role in creating a healthy environment. We also offer HVAC evaluations to determine if it is time to replace old heating and air conditioning systems and what your best choices might be.
Particle Counting:
Sometimes seemingly innocuous particles in the air can have real health side effects. Our particle counting services determine precisely how many particles are floating around in your home’s air as well as their size.
