Indoor Air Quality TestingBaltimore, MD & Surrounding Areas
Most of us spend most of our time indoors, and the air inside can hold things you can’t see or smell. If you notice musty odors or allergy-like symptoms at home, or you’ve had water damage or recent renovations, we’ll test your indoor air and help you understand the results.
When to test your air
Air quality testing is a good idea when something doesn’t feel right in your home, or before you move your family into a new place.
Unexplained symptoms
Allergies, headaches or breathing trouble that seem to get better when you leave the house.
Musty odors or water damage
Leaks, flooding or a damp basement can lead to mold growth you can’t see.
New construction or renovation
New paint, flooring, cabinets and furniture can release chemicals into the air.
What we test for
- Mold spores (air samples)
- VOCs and chemical vapors
- Fine particulates and dust (PM2.5)
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels
Common questions
Mold testing focuses only on mold. An air quality test looks at a wider range of things in the air: mold spores, chemical vapors (VOCs), fine dust and particles, and carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels. If you’re mainly worried about mold, see our Mold Testing page.
No, it’s a separate test. You can book it on its own or add it to a home inspection so everything is done in the same visit.
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are chemicals released as gases from everyday products such as paint, new flooring, cleaning supplies, furniture and cabinets. Levels are often higher after renovations or in newer, tightly sealed homes.
No. Radon is tested separately with its own equipment. See our Radon Testing page, and ask about doing both in the same visit.
