Air Quality Testing
At Reliable Home Inspection Services, we offer professional air quality and surface sampling to help residents in eastern North Carolina detect mold spores and airborne particulates that could impact health and comfort. Our services identify issues like mold growth, allergens, pollen, insect parts, skin cells, and other contaminants through precise sampling, delivering insights for informed buying decisions.
Why Air Quality Sampling?
Indoor environments in humid eastern NC can harbor hidden mold and particulates, affecting up to 90% of time spent indoors. Our air quality testing uncovers these threats early, providing visual and data-driven reports to guide you without relying solely on visual checks.
Our Process
1. Initial Assessment: We conduct a thorough visual inspection of key areas, including foundations, attics, HVAC systems, and potential moisture sources.
2. Sampling: Using an Air Sampling Pump, we collect at least one outdoor control sample and multiple indoor air samples. Surface samples (swab or tape) are taken from suspect areas if needed.
3. Lab Analysis: Samples are securely an accredited lab, where AI algorithms analyze particles, followed by review from certified mycologists.
4. Detailed Report: Delivered as a portable PDF with 24 to 48 hour turnaround on business days (if same day shipping of samples to lab are selected), each report includes:
- AI Analysis: Identification and counts of mold spores (e.g., Aspergillus/Penicillium, Stachybotrys, Cladosporium) and particulates (e.g., pollen, insect parts, skin cells, carbon).
- Mycologist Review: Expert confirmation of results for accuracy.
- Visuals: Actual images of detected spores and particulates, plus a summary graphic of all sample locations.
- Interpretations: Mold Elevation Level for air samples (comparing indoor to outdoor levels) and Mold Growth indicators for surfaces, with actionable homeowner recommendations.
- Complete Data: Full lab results and easy-to-read summaries for clear understanding.
