Mold Testing

Some molds are more hazardous than others, and different people have different responses to mould exposure. If you are unsure about the quality of the air in your house or are concerned about musty odours or dampness you can book an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) test with a certified AmeriSpec professional.

Carbon Monoxide Testing

Carbon monoxide poisoning presents in humans as “flu-like” and can be fatal when inhaled in large amounts. If you have any indications of CO in your home, have concerns or just want the peace of mind, you should have your home tested.

Radon Gas Testing

The reason that radon is of concern is that it is a cancer-causing natural gas that you can’t see, smell or taste. Radon concentrations tend to be greater on the lower levels of a home. Since radon exists in every home at different levels, the only way to determine if you and your family are at risk is to have your home tested.

Airborne Particles Air Quality Testing

Small particles cause detrimental health risks as they can easily travel deep into the lungs. Health risks include respiratory symptoms such as wheezing and coughing. To determine if your home has a dangerous amount of air particles that could harm your family, have your air quality tested by an AmeriSpec professional.

Chemicals in Your Indoor Air

VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are a large class of organic, carbon-based chemicals that are present in almost all buildings. To determine if your home has a dangerous amount of airborne chemicals or VOCs that could harm your family, have your air quality tested by an AmeriSpec professional.

Excess Humidity in Your Home

Higher than normal levels of humidity in certain areas of your home contribute to higher levels of bed bugs and biological contaminants (e.g. mould, dust, etc.). Condensation suggests that there is excessive moisture, poor air circulation or a problem with your windows. Having a well ventilated home can prevent high levels of humidity, reducing your chance of physical damage. Having your home’s air quality tested can help determine the issue in order to help you decide if you need to take corrective action.

Asbestos Sampling & Laboratory Analysis

Once inhaled, asbestos particles stay in the lungs for long periods of time and can eventually cause asbestosis, lung cancer, and a rare form of cancer (mesothelioma) that affects the linings of the abdominal cavity or chest. Testing for the presence of asbestos is outside the scope of a basic home inspection, but can be completed as part of a Healthy Homes service with some of our offices.
