Healthy Home Assessments
A healthy home assessment is a comprehensive service that focuses on several aspects of a home's indoor environmental health. It includes real-time IAQ measurements, moisture scanning, sample collecting, a visible inspection for water damage and microbial growth, and a report detailing the findings of the assessment with recommendations on what to do. Of course, assessments can always be tailored to your particular needs and concerns.
Read on for a more details, as well as a video that gives you an idea of what a general residential assessment looks like.
A typical assessment involves a certified IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional):
- Conducting a visual assessment of the interior and exterior of the property
- Using specialized monitoring equipment to gather specific air quality data (such as the levels of chemicals, allergens, humidity, and carbon dioxide in the air)
- Collecting and comparing data from room to room
- Analyzing the data to make recommendations for improvements
- Searching for moisture sources
- Identifying potential mold
- Collecting any air and/or surface samples where mold may be present
- Sending samples to an accredited lab to determine amount and type(s) of mold
- Creating a thorough assessment report that includes detailed information about the visual observations, the readings taken, and the sample results, as well as recommendations on how to address any issues that were found
