You can’t see radon. You can’t smell carbon monoxide. You might not notice VOCs from your furniture or cleaning products. But your body notices. The headaches, the scratchy throat, the allergies that won’t quit, the asthma that’s getting worse.
Indoor air can be five times more polluted than outdoor air. Your home traps everything: mold spores from that damp basement, chemicals off-gassing from carpets, radon seeping through foundation cracks. Tighter construction means better energy efficiency, but it also means those pollutants have nowhere to go.
Air quality testing gives you actual data. Not hunches or maybes. You’ll know exactly what’s in your air, at what levels, and whether it’s affecting your health. From there, you can make informed decisions about protecting your family instead of wondering if that cough is just seasonal or something worse.
We serve Cedar Park and throughout Bucks County with professional indoor air quality assessments. We understand the specific challenges Pennsylvania homeowners face, from some of the highest radon levels in the country to seasonal wildfire smoke affecting indoor environments.
We’re not here to sell you services you don’t need. We test, we report, we explain what the numbers mean for your specific situation. If there’s a problem, we’ll tell you. If your air quality is fine, we’ll tell you that too.
Our focus is on giving Cedar Park residents clear answers about what they’re breathing. You’ll get detailed reports, straightforward explanations, and honest recommendations based on EPA standards and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection guidelines.
We start with a consultation about your concerns. Musty smells? Unexplained respiratory issues? Buying or selling a home? Each situation calls for different testing protocols.
Next, we set up calibrated monitoring equipment throughout your home. These devices measure particulates, gases, humidity levels, and other air quality factors. The equipment runs for at least 48 hours to capture accurate data across different conditions. You go about your normal routine while the monitors do their work.
After collection, the data gets processed and analyzed. You receive a complete report identifying specific concerns, pollutant levels compared to EPA standards, and clear explanations of what everything means. We walk through the findings with you and recommend next steps, whether that’s installing air cleaners, addressing moisture issues, radon mitigation, or other solutions.
The whole process typically takes three to five days from setup to final report. No guesswork, no scare tactics. Just solid data about your indoor air quality.

Our indoor air quality check covers the pollutants that most commonly affect Cedar Park homes. Radon is a major concern here. About 40% of Pennsylvania homes have radon levels above EPA action guidelines. It’s odorless, tasteless, invisible, and the second leading cause of lung cancer. We test for it.
We measure VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from household products, building materials, and furnishings. We detect mold spores that trigger allergies and respiratory problems. We check for carbon monoxide, particulate matter, humidity levels that promote mold growth, and other contaminants.
Pennsylvania sees regular air quality issues from wildfire smoke and regional pollution, but your indoor air often poses bigger risks. Homes built for energy efficiency trap pollutants inside. Damp basements in Bucks County create perfect conditions for mold. Geological formations in this area allow radon to accumulate.
You get a comprehensive report showing exactly what’s present, at what concentrations, and how those levels compare to health and safety standards. We identify which pollutants pose immediate concerns and which need monitoring. Then we explain your options for improving your indoor air, from ventilation upgrades to targeted remediation.
The monitoring equipment needs to run for at least 48 hours to collect accurate data. Some tests, particularly radon testing, may require longer periods to account for natural fluctuations. We’ll set up the equipment on day one, which takes about an hour. You live normally while it runs.
After the monitoring period, we retrieve the equipment and process the data. You’ll typically have your complete report within 24 to 48 hours after collection. The entire process from initial setup to final report usually takes three to five days.
If you need faster results for a real estate transaction or other time-sensitive situation, let us know upfront. We can sometimes accommodate rushed timelines, though longer monitoring periods generally provide more reliable data.
Persistent respiratory issues are the biggest red flag. If you, your kids, or other family members have worsening asthma, chronic coughing, nasal congestion, or throat irritation that improves when you leave the house, your indoor air quality deserves investigation.
Other warning signs include unexplained headaches, eye irritation, skin problems, unusual fatigue, or allergy symptoms that don’t respond to typical treatments. Musty odors, visible mold growth, excessive humidity, or water damage also warrant testing. If you have young children, elderly family members, or anyone with compromised immune systems, even minor symptoms justify getting your air tested.
Sometimes there are no obvious symptoms, but testing still makes sense. Radon and carbon monoxide cause serious health damage without immediate warning signs. If you’re buying a home in Cedar Park, testing before purchase can reveal problems the seller needs to address. If you’re selling, testing demonstrates your home’s air quality to potential buyers.
Air quality testing detects mold spores in your air and measures their concentration. If spore levels are elevated, you have a mold problem somewhere, even if you can’t see it. The testing identifies which types of mold are present and whether levels pose health risks.
What air testing doesn’t do is pinpoint exactly where mold is growing. For that, you need a visual mold inspection. We often recommend combining air testing with a thorough inspection of common problem areas: basements, crawl spaces, attics, bathrooms, and anywhere water damage has occurred.
Mold spores are always present in indoor air at some level. The question is whether concentrations are normal or indicate active mold growth. Our testing compares your indoor spore counts to outdoor baseline levels and established health standards. If we find elevated levels, we’ll recommend next steps, which typically include identifying the moisture source, locating the growth, and professional mold remediation.
Cost depends on what you’re testing for and how comprehensive you want the assessment. Basic radon testing starts around $150 to $200. A full indoor air quality assessment testing for multiple pollutants, mold spores, VOCs, and other contaminants typically runs $400 to $800.
Larger homes or properties requiring more monitoring locations cost more. If you need testing for specific concerns like suspected mold or chemical contamination, we can customize the testing protocol, which affects pricing. Real estate transactions sometimes require specific testing packages with particular reporting formats.
We’ll give you an exact quote based on your situation during the initial consultation. No surprises, no upselling. You’ll know what you’re paying for and why each test matters for your specific concerns. Many homeowners find that spending a few hundred dollars on testing saves thousands by identifying problems early or confirming that expensive remediation isn’t necessary.
First, you’ll get a clear explanation of what was found, at what levels, and what health risks those levels present. We don’t exaggerate or downplay. The data is the data. We’ll show you how your results compare to EPA action levels and health guidelines.
For radon above 4 picocuries per liter (the EPA action level), mitigation is recommended. Radon mitigation systems typically cost $800 to $2,500 installed and are highly effective at reducing levels. We can handle the mitigation or connect you with certified radon professionals if you prefer.
For mold issues, we’ll identify likely sources and recommend remediation. For VOC problems, we’ll discuss ventilation improvements and source elimination. For any pollutant, you’ll get actionable recommendations, not vague suggestions. Some fixes are simple: better ventilation, dehumidifiers, air purifiers. Others require professional remediation. We’ll explain your options, estimated costs, and expected outcomes so you can make informed decisions about protecting your family’s health.
Radon and carbon monoxide don’t cause immediate symptoms. Neither do many VOCs at lower concentrations. By the time you notice health effects, you’ve already had significant exposure. That’s why testing makes sense even when everyone feels fine.
If you’re buying a home in Cedar Park, testing before purchase is smart. Pennsylvania’s geology creates high radon risk, and you want to know what you’re dealing with before closing. If you’re selling, testing demonstrates your home’s condition and can prevent deal-killing surprises during buyer inspections.
Testing also makes sense after water damage, before and after renovations, when moving into an older home, or if you have vulnerable family members even without symptoms. Young children’s lungs are still developing. Pregnant women face risks from certain pollutants. Older adults and people with existing respiratory conditions are more susceptible to air quality issues. For these populations, proactive testing beats waiting for problems to appear.
