🌬️ Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessments
Understand What You're Breathing. Improve It With Confidence.
According to the EPA, levels of some pollutants are often two to five times higher indoors than outdoors. Cooking, cleaning products, furnishings, building materials, and limited ventilation all play a role. An indoor air quality assessment measures what's in your air, identifies where it's coming from, and shows you the most effective ways to improve it.
-
It's a detailed evaluation of your home's air, combining real time instrument readings, targeted laboratory testing, and a building science investigation of ventilation and moisture. Every assessment is performed by Jonathan Farrar, CRMI, Building Biologist, or a technician he has personally trained, and Jonathan reviews all findings.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Formaldehyde
Chemicals released from paints, finishes, cabinetry, flooring, furniture, and cleaning products. We measure levels onsite, can log formaldehyde over time, and offer laboratory testing to identify specific compounds and likely sources.Particulate Matter
Fine airborne particles from cooking, combustion, outdoor air, and household activity. We measure levels throughout the home and help you reduce them.Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
CO2 is a practical indicator of whether a space gets enough fresh air. Elevated levels often point to ventilation that needs attention, especially in bedrooms.Humidity and Temperature
Imbalances can lead to condensation, dust mite activity, and conditions that support microbial growth. We measure both and identify where adjustments are needed.Radon
A naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter homes from the ground. Continuous radon monitoring is available as part of your assessment.Ventilation, Pressure, and HVAC
We evaluate fresh air supply, airflow, filtration, and pressure relationships between rooms, attics, crawlspaces, and HVAC equipment, all of which affect what gets pulled into your living space. -
Within 10 to 14 business days, you'll receive a written report with:
Measurements for each area evaluated
Laboratory results and what they mean, if testing was approved
Likely sources of elevated pollutants
Prioritized recommendations for source control, ventilation, and filtration
Guidance on healthier materials and products going forward
-
A recent renovation or new construction
Stuffy rooms or poor sleep environments
Recommendations from a healthcare provider
Wanting clear data before investing in air purifiers or HVAC upgrades
-
Families with young children, health sensitive individuals, new construction and renovation projects, homebuyers, and anyone wanting a healthier indoor environment.
-
Not in our travel area? We can arrange VOC and formaldehyde test kits shipped directly to you, then review the laboratory results together on a virtual consultation.
