You spend over 90% of your time indoors. If something’s off with your air mold spores, chemical vapors, particulate matter you deserve to know what it is and how bad it actually is.
Professional indoor air testing gives you documentation. Real numbers from a certified lab. Not a hunch, not a home kit that tells you nothing useful actual data about what’s floating around in the space where your family lives.
Once you know what’s there, you can fix it. You’re not reacting to symptoms anymore or wondering if that cough is seasonal or something worse. You’re working from facts, and that changes everything about how you move forward.
We’ve been handling indoor air quality checks across Northern Liberties, Fishtown, and the surrounding Philadelphia area since we started. We know the buildings here converted warehouses with questionable ventilation, historic row homes with basement moisture issues, energy-efficient retrofits that trap everything inside.
We’re not new to this. We use EPA-approved methods, send samples to accredited labs, and deliver results that actually mean something. You’ll get a report that tells you what’s in your air, how much of it there is, and what needs to happen next.
We’re local, we’re fast, and we don’t waste your time with vague assessments or scare tactics. You’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with.
First, we come out and do a visual inspection of your property. We’re looking for obvious issues water damage, visible mold, ventilation problems, anything that might be contributing to poor air quality. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to find what you can’t see.
Then we take air samples. We measure particulate matter, carbon dioxide levels, and collect samples for lab analysis. Those samples get sent to a certified lab that tests for mold spores, allergens, and chemical contaminants. You’ll have results back within 24 hours in most cases.
Once the lab report comes in, we walk you through it. We explain what the numbers mean, what’s considered normal versus problematic, and what your options are. If remediation is needed, we’ll tell you what that looks like. If your air is fine, we’ll tell you that too. No upselling, no drama just straight information so you can make the right call.

You get a full site inspection using professional-grade equipment. Thermal imaging to spot temperature variations that indicate moisture or ventilation issues. Moisture meters to find hidden water problems before they become mold problems. Ambient air measurements for carbon dioxide and particulate matter levels.
You get lab-certified air sample analysis. We’re not guessing or using consumer-grade meters that give you a color-coded reading with no context. Your samples go to an accredited laboratory that identifies specific mold species, measures spore concentrations, and detects chemical contaminants. The report you receive lists exactly what’s in your air and at what levels.
Northern Liberties has unique air quality challenges. The neighborhood’s mix of old industrial buildings and modern residential conversions means legacy contaminants can be an issue. Proximity to I-95 brings vehicle emissions. The Delaware River adds humidity that promotes mold growth. Energy-efficient retrofits, while great for utility bills, often trap pollutants indoors if ventilation wasn’t properly addressed. We account for all of this when we test your property and interpret your results.
Testing costs vary based on property size and how many samples you need, but most residential indoor air quality checks in Northern Liberties run between $300 and $600. That includes the site inspection, air sampling, lab analysis, and a detailed report with recommendations.
If you need testing for multiple rooms or specific concerns like suspected mold in the basement plus chemical odors upstairs, the cost goes up because we’re collecting more samples. Commercial properties or larger homes require more comprehensive testing, which affects pricing.
We give you upfront pricing before we start. No surprises, no hidden fees. If you’re dealing with a known issue like water damage or visible mold, we offer free initial inspections to assess the situation before recommending testing.
Professional air quality testing detects mold spores, allergens, particulate matter, chemical vapors, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. We’re measuring what’s actually in your air, not just looking for visible problems.
Mold testing identifies specific species and spore concentrations. Some molds are more dangerous than others, and concentration matters low levels might be normal, high levels mean you have a problem. Chemical testing picks up VOCs from cleaning products, building materials, or industrial contamination. Particulate testing measures dust, pollen, and other airborne particles that affect respiratory health.
We also measure carbon dioxide levels, which indicate ventilation problems. High CO2 means your space isn’t exchanging air properly, which concentrates whatever pollutants are present. In Northern Liberties, where many buildings have been retrofitted for energy efficiency, poor ventilation is common and often the root cause of air quality issues.
The on-site inspection and sampling usually takes one to two hours depending on your property size. We’re thorough but efficient we’re not here all day disrupting your routine.
Lab results come back within 24 to 48 hours for most tests. Mold analysis is typically same-day or next-day. Chemical testing can take slightly longer if we’re looking for specific contaminants, but you’re not waiting a week for answers.
We offer same-day service if you need testing done quickly. If you’re experiencing health symptoms, dealing with a real estate transaction, or have an urgent concern, we can usually get someone out to your property in Northern Liberties the same day you call. Fast turnaround matters when you’re trying to figure out if your home is safe.
Yes, because most air quality problems aren’t visible. Mold grows inside walls, under flooring, and in HVAC systems where you can’t see it. Chemical contaminants and particulate matter are invisible. Carbon monoxide is odorless. You can have serious indoor air quality issues with zero visible signs.
If anyone in your home has unexplained respiratory symptoms, allergies that won’t go away, frequent headaches, or fatigue, your air could be the problem. If you smell musty odors but can’t find the source, there’s likely hidden mold. If your home was built before 1978 or is a converted industrial building, legacy contaminants might be present.
Testing gives you certainty. You’re not guessing or waiting for symptoms to get worse. You’re getting data that tells you whether your air is fine or whether you need to take action. Most people who call us don’t see mold they just know something isn’t right, and they want answers.
Testing identifies what’s in your air and at what concentrations. The lab report shows whether contaminant levels exceed safe thresholds set by the EPA and other health agencies. If levels are high, yes, your air could absolutely be contributing to health problems.
Mold spores, for example, cause respiratory issues, trigger asthma, and worsen allergies even at moderate concentrations. Chemical vapors from VOCs cause headaches, dizziness, and long-term health effects with prolonged exposure. High particulate matter irritates lungs and exacerbates existing conditions.
We can’t diagnose medical conditions that’s your doctor’s job. But we can tell you definitively whether your indoor air quality is within healthy ranges or whether contaminants are present at levels known to cause health problems. If your family’s symptoms improve after remediation, that’s usually your answer. Testing gives you the information you need to connect the dots.
Consumer monitors measure some things usually carbon dioxide, humidity, and sometimes particulate matter. They don’t test for mold spores, specific allergens, or chemical contaminants. They give you general readings, not lab-certified analysis that identifies what’s actually in your air.
If you want to track humidity or get a sense of ventilation, a home monitor is fine. But if you’re trying to figure out why you’re sick, whether you have a mold problem, or if your converted warehouse loft has legacy industrial contaminants, a consumer device won’t give you answers.
Professional testing uses calibrated equipment and certified lab analysis. You get specific data mold species, spore counts, chemical identification, concentration levels compared to safety standards. That’s the difference between “your air quality is fair” on an app and “you have elevated levels of Stachybotrys mold and VOCs from solvent residue” in a lab report. One is vague, the other is actionable.
