HEALTHY HOME ASSESSMENT – ONLY $199
(Normally $229)
Visual Inspection
A non-intrusive, non-destructive visual investigation is performed throughout accessible portions of your home.
Respirable Particulates Count
Measurement of microscopic solids or liquid droplets that are so small they can be inhaled and cause serious health problems.
Volatile Organic Compounds
Concentrations of +200 common volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in real time.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde can come from building materials and furnishings. Concentrations are measured in real time.
Carbon Monoxide
Even low CO concentrations can impact health, and is especially important for kitchens with natural gas or propane ranges, indoor water heaters & furnaces.
Carbon Dioxide
While high CO2 concentrations are typically not a health concern, CO2 levels are useful for finding other indoor pollutant concentrations.
Temperature
Can vary from room to room due to ceiling/wall insulation, number of windows, number of electronics in use and several other causes.
Relative Humidity
Can indicate inadequate spot ventilation, short cycling of the air conditioning & possible water leaks in the home. Overall indoor comfort level is also affected.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
A thermal imaging camera is used to inspect your home’s envelope for insulation deficiencies and air leaks, as well as find active water leaks.
Germs on Touch Surfaces
Bacteria and other germs on door handles, countertops and other surfaces touched by most people in the house can be transferred from one person to another.
Additional Assessments
*Not included in Healthy Home Assessment
Airborne Mold Spores
Airborne mold spores samples are collected and taken to a qualified lab for analysis.
Airborne Bacteria Concentrations
The five most predominant types of airborne bacteria in our home are identified via qualified lab.
Dust Analysis
Dust collected from surfaces in your home is submitted to a certified laboratory to identify what the dust is composed of.
Radon
Testing is the only way to know your level of radon exposure. Samples are submitted to a laboratory for analysis.
Indoor Allergens
Identifying the source of an allergen can help develop a plan to remove it from a home, or rule out suspect sources to reduce time and effort to try and correct it.
Whole Home Leakiness Testing
A blower door test can help to locate leaks in your home, so they can be sealed to keep out pests, dust and other air pollutants.
Comprehensive Duct Leakage Test
Leaky ducts can bring dust from the attic, crawlspace and other locations where ducts are located.
