Buying a Home?

​

A home inspector cannot observe with the naked eye the airborne chemicals present in the home that could potentially affect the health of you and your family.

​

Here are some important facts to know:

1. The USEPA has reported that home air can have 100 times more chemicals inside than outside.

​

2. The USEPA has also reported that adults and kids now spend most of their time indoors (90%).

3. The CDC has reported that 20+ million adults have asthma, and the National Asthma Survey has reported that asthma is the most prevalent chronic disease among children. These numbers continue to increase annually, suggesting that the indoor environment plays a contributing role in this trend.

4. Mold growth can be present within the home and be hidden behind walls or underneath carpeting or flooring.

How can I know if the home air quality is safe?

We offer clients Indoor Air Quality Home Survey™, a state-of-the-art test that checks for chemicals in the air that could potentially make you and your family sick, and provides you with an assessment of the home air quality.

1. IAQ Home Survey is a test designed to measure the chemicals in the air and find hidden mold.

2. IAQ Home Survey can be performed during the home inspection.

3. IAQ Home Survey reports the total amount of Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) found in the home and whether they are within a recommended safe range.

4. IAQ Home Survey predicts the source of the VOCs and determines if the home is the source or if the VOCs are merely from the contents of the home.

5. IAQ Home Survey is so sensitive it monitors for the chemicals released by actively growing mold, whether it is behind walls or underneath carpeting or flooring.

Selling a Home?

​

If you are selling a home, it is wise to have a pre-inspection done to make sure no hidden issues will present themselves when a potential buyer makes an offer to buy your home. Many home buyers are now requesting Indoor Air Quality audits. Having a complete pre- inspection and an indoor air quality assessment performed on a home prior to sale demonstrates to the buyer that you cared for the home you are selling and that there are no issues that could delay the sale. The Indoor Air Quality Home Survey analytical report can be utilized to create an action plan to remove or remediate any issues found prior putting your home on the market.

Not Sure About Your Home's Air Quality?

​

Sometimes it's what you don't know that can hurt you. Make sure the air in your home is safe to breathe. An Indoor Air Quality Home Survey professional test measures and reports on the air in the home for chemicals and hidden mold that could be detrimental to your health or that could cost you thousands of dollars to remediate if left undetected.

 

Performed by a residential service professional, an IAQ Home Survey test is the only composite home air quality assessment available today. It monitors for hundreds of chemicals in the air (called VOCs or Volatile Organic Compounds) and active mold growth with a single air sample. It not only reports on the total levels of VOCs and mold present in the home, but it also identifies the potential sources of air pollutants (e.g., paint,
adhesives, flooring, cabinets, heating fuel, dead animals and hundreds of other products and materials that emit gases into the air) giving you actionable information on the steps necessary to improve the air quality in your home. In addition, testing for Formaldehyde and Tobacco Smoke can be done at the same time as the IAQ Home Survey test (extra charges apply).
