Testing for Mold, Allergens &
Bacteria in Air, on Surfaces
& in Materials / Structure

Mold is a leading factor in health concerns related to indoor air quality. Other allergens and bacteria in the air can also combine to present potential health hazards due to subpar or poor indoor air quality. If not addressed, the air in your home or office could be impact the health and well-being of you, your family or your team.

What might be some reasons to get air quality testing for mold or other allergens & bacteria? For starters, there may be signs that mold is present already in your home or office; for example, if someone is experiencing breathing problems, lethargy and/or irritation in the skin & eyes. Other mold symptoms include allergy symptoms, nasal congestion, onset of asthma issues and other health complications due to long-term exposure to mold. We can test your home or office for mold detection, resulting in either peace of mind in the absence of mold – or a comprehensive mold remediation plan should mold be detected.

The Primary Causes of Substandard Indoor Air Quality

Biological Pollutants
Biological contaminants that detract from indoor air quality include bacteria, viruses, pet dander, pollen and bugs; standing water, water-damaged materials or wet surfaces also serve as a breeding ground for bacteria, mild & mildew and more.
Chemical Pollutants

Indoor air quality is affected by chemical pollutants including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, benzene, nitrogen dioxide and naphthalene – from sources such as tobacco smoke, lead, radon, pesticides and VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).

Radiological Pollutants
Electromagnetic radiation is another major factor in indoor air quality and pollution. This includes the radio frequency, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, and x-ray portions of the spectrum. We test for potential radiological pollution generators.

Planning, Implementing &
Verifying Mold Remediation

If mold and/or other allergens or harmful bacteria are found to be present in your hone or office, the next step is to develop a mold remediation plan. Once again you’re benefiting from our experience, since we’re not just an air quality testing but in fact have a wide range of experience in mold removal / mold remediation in Ottawa and across Eastern Ontario. Our certified mold remediation technicians will identify the source of the mold – which could be behind the walls, in an attic or under the floor boards – and develop a comprehensive mold remediation plan to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Once we have agreed on a course of action, it’s time for our team to get to work. We’ll let you know in advance what to prepare from your end for the duration of the mold remediation process. When that is complete, we go through again to test for mold, verifying that the mold remediation is thorough and complete.
