Professional indoor air quality assessments for homes, condominiums and commercial properties throughout Ottawa.
What's in the Air You're Breathing?
Your home may look perfectly clean while still having indoor air quality concerns. Moisture, mold, airborne particles, chemical emissions and inadequate ventilation can all affect indoor environments.
Some problems are obvious, while others require a closer investigation.
Our indoor air quality assessments focus on identifying potential sources of contamination, investigating building conditions and determining when specialized testing may be appropriate.
Because understanding the source is just as important as identifying the problem.
More Than Just Mold.
Indoor air quality involves a wide range of potential contaminants and building conditions.
MOLD & FUNGAL GROWTH
Investigating visible mold, suspected hidden moisture problems and conditions that encourage fungal growth.
VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS (VOCs)
Evaluating concerns involving chemical emissions from paints, adhesives, flooring, furnishings, cleaning products and building materials.
AIRBORNE PARTICLES
Assessing concerns involving dust, fine particulate matter, renovation debris and other airborne particles.
HUMIDITY & MOISTURE
Investigating excessive humidity, condensation, water intrusion and moisture-related building conditions.
VENTILATION & AIR CIRCULATION
Evaluating accessible ventilation components and conditions that may contribute to inadequate air exchange.
COMBUSTION-RELATED POLLUTANTS
Identifying conditions that may warrant specialized assessment of carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide or other combustion-related contaminants.
Sometimes the Air Isn't the Problem. It's the Building!
Indoor air quality concerns can originate from problems within the building itself.
Through our background in professional roofing, siding, insulation, ventilation and exterior renovations, we’ve encountered the consequences of water intrusion and building-envelope failures firsthand.
We’ve opened roof assemblies containing saturated insulation. We’ve discovered deteriorated materials behind exterior finishes. We’ve encountered moisture problems caused by improper flashing, drainage and ventilation.
These experiences help us recognize building conditions that may contribute to indoor air quality concerns.
