How do I know if I need an air quality professional?

An easy way to tell is if you experienced water damage and mold has begun to grow. Mold can accumulate in your HVAC system, wall cavities, and other hidden areas, making you and your family more sensitive to respiratory problems and other illnesses. If you had water damage and notice you or household members are getting sick more often afterward, that could be an indication of an indoor mold problem worthy of investigation.

For asbestos, if your house was built before 1980, there is a significant chance it contains asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. If you are planning renovations or updates, you should obtain a professional asbestos inspection and appropriate documentation to ensure you are not putting yourself, your family, or workers at risk.

If there was a recent fire at your property and your insurance company is reluctant to provide full coverage, we can perform testing to document the extent of the damage. Soot particles are extremely small and can travel throughout the home, embedding in surfaces and building materials and causing persistent smoke odors that can linger for years after a fire.
