Mold Inspections and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessments 
Mold Inspections and Indoor Air QualityIn a society, where we spend the majority of our time inside, the effect of indoor air contaminants on human health has become increasing important. Indoor air can have 2–5 times the pollutants of the air outside, leading to asthma and other respiratory problems and expensive trips to the doctor. Our IAQ Services are performed by degreed and certified environmental specialists with extensive experience in industrial hygiene, hazardous materials management, and building science. Building Related Illness (BRI) and Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) are terms used when health symptoms are experienced while in a particular building (including the home) and relief from these symptoms only occurs after leaving the building. Causes of BRI and SBS are often related to poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).Typical symptoms associated with poor indoor air quality include:
We use AIHA accredited laboratories to perform our sample analysis. Our professionals interpret the test results and provide cost specific recommendations for resolving the indoor air quality problems. 
Rental PropertiesIndoor Air quality problems can cause Landlord-Tenant problems. We can determine if the indoor air quality problem is caused by the occupant or is something that should be corrected by the Landlord. If litigation ensues, our senior staff can provide expert testimony to help win your case. 
Homes and CondosPurchasing a home or condo is too large of an investment to rely on the talents of a home inspector to determine if a potential indoor air quality problem exists. Families with small children, asthmatics or immune compromised individuals are especially at risk. Our IQA Assessment can be tailored to test for a variety of pollutants such as:
Schools and ClassroomsAir quality in classrooms is of special concern since children are more susceptible to poor air quality than adults and indoor air problems can lead to poor test scores (Journal of Indoor Air, December 2006). We work with school facility mangers, maintenance staff, teachers unions, PTAs, and school boards to determine if indoor air quality is adversely impacting the performance and health of teachers, staff and students. Typically, temperature, relative humidity (RH), carbon dioxide (CO2), respirable particulate matter with diameter less than 10 mm (PM10), formaldehyde (HCHO), total bacteria, and total fungal counts are evaluated to characterize the classroom environment. Recognizing that school budgets are tight, our recommendations for enhancing indoor air quality in the classroom are as practical and economically feasible as possible. 
Offices & Commercial BuildingsA variety of factors contribute to poor indoor air quality in office buildings, including outdoor pollutants near the building, pollution transport through ventilation systems, and emissions from building materials, furnishings, and equipment. Poor indoor air quality can affect the health and reduce productivity of workers. Facility managers and building owners are always in the cross hairs. The office is too cold or too hot. Watery eyes, headaches, sinusitis are some of the common ailments we hear about from office workers during our IAQ Assessment interviews. A thorough and creative investigation is often required to resolve occupant complaints. It can be as simple as the discovery of wet carpeting as the culprit to as complex as addressing the possibility of psychogenic illness. We perform IAQ Assessments with great discretion during normal working hours or after hours depending on the sensitivity of the situation. Email a request.
