Hear from Our Customers
You’ve noticed the symptoms. Persistent headaches that won’t quit. Allergies that flare up the moment you walk through your front door. Kids coughing at night for no clear reason. Your home should be the safest place for your family, but right now, you’re not sure what’s in the air.
Indoor air quality testing gives you actual data instead of guesswork. We use moisture meters, thermal imaging, and laboratory analysis to identify exactly what’s contaminating your air mold spores, VOCs, allergens, or other pollutants. The EPA confirms that indoor air can contain up to five times more pollutants than outdoor air, especially in older homes where ventilation and moisture control weren’t priorities when they were built.
You get lab-certified results that show concentration levels and specific contaminant types. No vague assessments or maybes. Just clear information about what’s happening in your home and what it means for your family’s health. That’s how you make informed decisions instead of expensive guesses.
We’ve spent over 15 years helping Feltonville families understand what’s actually happening inside their homes. We only do testing and inspections not remediation. That matters because our findings aren’t influenced by upselling you on cleanup services. You get honest results, not a sales pitch.
Feltonville’s housing stock tells a story. The median build year here is 1946, which means many homes are pushing 80 years old. Brick rowhouses and twin homes weren’t designed with modern moisture barriers or ventilation systems. Basements stay damp. Attics trap humidity. Air ducts collect decades of dust and biological growth. We’ve seen it hundreds of times in this neighborhood, and we know exactly where problems hide.
Our inspectors are licensed, certified, and trained to use advanced detection technology that spots issues you can’t see. We’re rated 5.0 out of 5 on Angi because we show up, do the work right, and explain everything in plain language.
We start with a visual inspection of your property. That means checking basements, attics, crawl spaces, bathrooms, kitchens anywhere moisture or poor ventilation creates conditions for mold growth or pollutant accumulation. We’re looking for water stains, warped materials, condensation patterns, and visible contamination.
Next, we use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect problems hidden behind walls, under flooring, or inside ductwork. Mold doesn’t always announce itself. Sometimes it’s growing in places you’ll never see without the right equipment. Infrared technology shows us temperature variations and moisture levels that indicate trouble.
Then we collect air samples from multiple locations throughout your home. These samples get sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. The lab identifies specific mold types, spore concentration levels, and other airborne contaminants. You receive detailed results within 24 hours, along with photographs, moisture readings, and a written report that explains what we found.
If we spot immediate health concerns during the inspection, we tell you right away. You don’t wait for lab results to know if something needs urgent attention. After you receive the full report, we walk you through the findings and answer every question you have about what the data means for your home and your family.

You get a complete assessment of your indoor air quality, not a surface-level walkthrough. Our testing covers mold spores, allergens, VOCs, and other pollutants that affect respiratory health and overall wellbeing. We test multiple rooms because air quality varies throughout a home what’s happening in your basement doesn’t tell you what’s happening in your bedrooms.
Laboratory analysis identifies the exact species of mold present and measures concentration levels against normal outdoor baselines. That specificity matters because some mold types pose greater health risks than others. You’re not paying for vague conclusions. You’re getting scientific data that shows whether your indoor air quality is acceptable or requires intervention.
In Feltonville, where 59.55% of homes are owner-occupied and property values matter, early detection protects your investment. Homes with documented mold problems lose 20-37% of their value and sit on the market longer. Buyers walk away. Inspections fail. Remediation costs run between $3,000 and $20,000 depending on contamination extent. Testing costs a fraction of that and catches problems before they become financial disasters.
You also receive documentation that’s useful for real estate transactions, insurance claims, and remediation planning. Our reports include everything a contractor or insurance adjuster needs to understand the scope of any issues we identify. No follow-up appointments to gather missing information. No ambiguous findings that leave you wondering what to do next.
You need testing if you’re experiencing unexplained health symptoms that improve when you leave your home. That includes persistent headaches, respiratory issues, skin rashes, fatigue, memory problems, or allergy symptoms that won’t respond to normal treatment. These are classic indicators of poor indoor air quality caused by mold, VOCs, or other airborne contaminants.
You also need testing if you’ve had water damage, notice musty odors, see visible moisture problems, or live in an older home. Feltonville’s housing stock averages nearly 80 years old, and homes built in the 1940s weren’t designed with modern moisture control or ventilation. Basements leak. Roofs age. Plumbing fails. Any of these conditions create environments where mold thrives and air quality deteriorates.
Testing is also critical before buying a home, after remediation work, or if you have vulnerable family members. Newborns, elderly relatives, and anyone with compromised immune systems or respiratory conditions face serious health risks from poor air quality. Testing gives you certainty instead of hoping everything’s fine.
A visual inspection identifies visible mold growth, moisture problems, and conditions that support contamination. It’s useful, but it only catches what’s accessible and obvious. Mold growing behind drywall, under flooring, or inside HVAC systems won’t show up in a visual inspection. You’ll see the symptoms stains, warping, discoloration but not the full extent of contamination.
Air testing captures mold spores and other pollutants circulating throughout your home, including from hidden sources. When mold colonies grow in concealed areas, they release spores into your air. Those spores travel through your HVAC system and settle in rooms far from the original growth site. Air sampling detects those spores and measures concentration levels even when you can’t see the source.
The most thorough approach combines both methods. Visual inspection with moisture detection technology identifies problem areas and active growth. Air testing measures overall indoor air quality and catches hidden contamination. Together, they give you a complete picture of what’s happening in your home. That’s how we work comprehensive assessment, not partial information.
The on-site inspection and air sampling typically take two to three hours depending on your home’s size and the number of areas we’re testing. We inspect all common problem zones basements, attics, bathrooms, kitchens, and any rooms where you’ve noticed symptoms or concerns. We also use thermal imaging and moisture meters to check walls, ceilings, and floors for hidden moisture that indicates potential mold growth.
Air samples go to an independent laboratory for analysis. You receive detailed results within 24 hours. The lab report identifies specific mold species, spore concentration levels, and other detected contaminants. We provide that report along with photographs from the inspection, moisture readings, and a written summary that explains what everything means in plain language.
If we identify immediate health concerns during the inspection itself like active mold growth in living areas or severe moisture problems we tell you right away. You don’t wait for lab confirmation to know that something needs urgent attention. After you receive the full results, we’re available to answer questions and explain next steps if remediation or further investigation is needed.
No. Air quality testing is completely non-invasive. We collect air samples using specialized equipment that captures airborne particles without requiring us to cut into walls, remove flooring, or damage any part of your property. The sampling devices are quiet, clean, and leave no mess behind.
Our thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters also work without causing any damage. Thermal imaging detects temperature variations through surfaces, showing us where moisture is accumulating behind walls or under floors. Moisture meters take readings through materials without penetrating them. These technologies let us identify hidden problems without exploratory demolition.
The only time we’d recommend invasive investigation is if testing reveals contamination that requires us to locate the exact source for remediation planning. Even then, we discuss options with you first and explain exactly what would be involved. You make the decision about next steps. Our job is to give you accurate information about your indoor air quality and help you understand what that information means for your home.
Yes. Comprehensive air quality testing identifies multiple types of indoor air pollutants beyond mold spores. That includes VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from cleaning products, paints, and building materials, allergens like dust mites and pet dander, and other biological contaminants that affect respiratory health. Indoor air often contains significantly higher pollutant levels than outdoor air, especially in older homes with limited ventilation.
We can also coordinate testing for radon, lead, and asbestos if your home’s age and construction suggest those risks. Feltonville’s older housing stock means many properties contain materials and conditions that weren’t regulated when they were built. Radon seeps up through basement foundations. Lead exists in old paint and plumbing. Asbestos was used in insulation, flooring, and other building materials. These aren’t mold issues, but they’re serious health hazards that testing can identify.
The scope of testing depends on your specific concerns and your home’s characteristics. If you’re experiencing symptoms but don’t know the cause, broader testing makes sense. If you’ve had water damage and suspect mold, we can focus specifically on that. We customize the approach based on what you’re dealing with and what information will actually help you make good decisions about your home and your family’s health.
Unbiased results. When a company profits from both finding problems and fixing them, there’s an inherent conflict of interest. They have financial incentive to identify issues that require expensive remediation services. You can’t be certain whether their findings reflect actual conditions or revenue opportunities. That’s not a criticism of those companies it’s just how business incentives work.
We only do testing and inspections. We don’t offer remediation services, which means our findings aren’t influenced by upselling you on cleanup work. If we find contamination, we document it accurately and provide detailed information you can use to get competitive bids from remediation contractors. If we don’t find problems, we tell you that too. Our reputation depends on accuracy and honesty, not on generating remediation projects.
This approach also means you get better information for planning and budgeting. Our reports give remediation contractors everything they need to provide accurate estimates without requiring additional inspections. You’re not paying twice for assessment work. You’re getting one thorough, unbiased evaluation that serves as the foundation for whatever comes next whether that’s remediation, monitoring, or simply having peace of mind that your indoor air quality is acceptable.
