When occupants experience persistent headaches, respiratory irritation, fatigue, or neurological symptoms that improve when away from the property, indoor air quality is often the undiagnosed cause. Sources can include off-gassing from new construction materials, hidden mold, inadequate ventilation, combustion appliance leakage, or volatile organic compounds from finishes and adhesives. We coordinate the testing, identify the source, and develop a remediation strategy that addresses the root cause — not just the symptoms.
OUR PROCESS
01Detailed occupant interview and symptom pattern documentation
02Comprehensive IAQ testing: VOCs, formaldehyde, CO, CO2, particulates, humidity
03HVAC system inspection and airflow analysis
04Source identification through targeted sampling and process of elimination
05Written remediation strategy addressing identified sources
06Vendor coordination for source removal or mitigation
07Post-remediation verification testing and ongoing monitoring plan
