You might be wondering what to expect from an indoor air quality test or why you might consider testing the air in your home or business. Air quality is important for your quality of life and can affect your health and wellbeing. Factors such as humidity and chemicals can also create problems for the structure of your property. Just as we are happier living in a clean house- our bodies are happier when the air is clean for us as well. Don’t let your air quality affect your day to day life or staff attendance at your business. Here is what we offer to give you peace of mind when it comes to your air quality.
Examine HVAC System
In order to know what’s going on with the air in your home or business, it’s important to take a look at your HVAC system since it is responsible for circulating the air. First we will measure the output of the ventilation air system. An assessment on the output of your exhaust fan is also done at this time. Then a visual inspection of the system is done.
Environmental factors
The next step in the process is to test your home or business and see how specific environmental factors are affecting your air quality. Some of the things we are considering when testing are:
- Humidity
- Temperature
- Carbon Monoxide levels
- Carbon Dioxide levels
An indoor air quality test begins with examining the HVAC system, as it plays a crucial role in circulating air throughout your home or business. This examination includes measuring ventilation outputs and conducting a visual inspection of the system to ensure optimal functioning. Assessing environmental factors like humidity and temperature is the next critical step. High humidity levels, for instance, can lead to mold growth, impacting both your health and property structure.
Though some of these things may seem insignificant upon first glance, they can lead to other concerns. For example, too much humidity in the home can cause mold, mildew, and over time it can even cause structural damage to your floors and walls.
Contaminants
We also test the air for the contaminants that you certainly don’t want floating around you and your friends and family. Our assessment will be taking a close look at
- Pollution
- Mold Spores
- Chemicals
If we are conducting the test within a business, we will also add a test for toxic gases.
Creating a plan
The final step of our process is analyzing the data and providing you with a plan for our suggested course of action. It is our goal to help you mitigate any of the problems we find and get your home or your business back on track. The first step to improving your air quality is to understand what it is exactly that needs improving. First and foremost, we want to inform our clients on what we find so they are not paying for services they don’t need, or can seek out what they do need in order to resolve any underlying issues we find.
Though it may not seem like a big deal, poor air quality can have huge effects on your day to day life. Some side effects you may experience from poor air quality include allergies, fatigue, respiratory problems, headaches, confusion, and other problems. If you find you are not feeling well at home or in the workplace but tend to feel better when you take time away from these places, it may be a good time to consider having your air quality professionally tested. If this is an issue in your business, it can cause employees to miss work or may even lead to high turnover rates. Let Mold Assessment Services help you get on track and take a step towards improving your health and wellbeing.
