Indoor Air Quality Testing
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the quality of air circulating inside a building, represented by the total concentration of pollutants related to the building’s temperature, relative humidity, and surrounding environment. If left untreated, contaminated air quality can cause health issues, including respiratory issues, allergies, inflammation, and neurological issues in some cases. This is why IAQ testing is crucial!
Before conducting any testing in a residence or building, our consultants will inspect the overall structure to pinpoint any factors that would contribute to poor air quality:
- Mold growth
- Water intrusion
- Elevated temperature & humidity levels
- Overall HVAC system functionality
These factors determine the causation and extent of any issues related to indoor air quality.

Factors Contributing to Poor Indoor Air Quality
Mold Growth
When excessive mold accumulates on building materials due to increased moisture, temperature, and nutrients.
Water Intrusion
This occurs when stormwater, sewage, leaky pipes, or elevated humidity affect walls, flooring, or insulation.
Elevated Temperature & Humidity Levels
These often occur when the HVAC system hasn’t been running properly or if a structure experienced water intrusion.
Overall HVAC Functionality
Poorly maintained or improperly sized HVAC units can cultivate an environment for increased mold growth.
