Our PMII-certified inspectors serve homes and businesses throughout Marietta including East Cobb, Historic Marietta Square, Windsor Oaks, and Indian Hills. We understand that Georgia’s humid climate creates indoor air quality challenges requiring professional assessment and solutions.
You can’t see most indoor air contaminants, but they significantly impact health and comfort. Professional air quality testing identifies problems requiring correction.
Common Indoor Air Quality Issues:
When Air Quality Testing Is Needed:
We discuss your concerns, health symptoms, recent events like water damage, and specific testing goals. This information guides our testing approach and sample location selection.
Before testing, we conduct thorough visual assessment identifying potential contamination sources, moisture problems, ventilation issues, and visible mold or damage.
We collect air samples capturing airborne particles and spores:
Indoor Air Samples: Multiple samples from different rooms and levels provide comprehensive assessment. We focus on areas with concerns and high-occupancy spaces.
Outdoor Control Sample: Baseline outdoor sample provides comparison. Indoor levels significantly higher than outdoor indicate contamination problems.
HVAC System Sampling: When appropriate, we sample air from HVAC systems detecting contamination spreading throughout homes.
When visible contamination or specific concerns exist, we collect surface samples:
Air quality problems often stem from moisture issues. We measure humidity levels and use thermal imaging locating hidden moisture. Our moisture detection and removal services identify water problems affecting air quality.
Certified laboratories analyze samples using advanced microscopy and identification techniques:
Results typically return within 3-5 business days.
We provide detailed reports including:
Mold Spore Levels: Testing measures airborne mold spore concentrations. Elevated indoor levels compared to outdoor baseline indicate contamination requiring investigation and remediation. Our mold inspection and testing includes comprehensive mold assessment.
Mold Species Identification: Laboratory analysis identifies specific mold types present. Some species like Stachybotrys (black mold) are more concerning regarding health impacts. Our black mold removal services address toxic species safely.
Humidity and Moisture: Testing includes humidity measurements. Levels above 60% support mold growth and dust mite populations, indicating moisture control needs.
Particulate Matter: Analysis reveals dust, pollen, and other particles affecting respiratory health and comfort.
Ventilation Effectiveness: Results indicate whether ventilation adequately removes contaminants and provides fresh air exchange.
Basement Air Quality: Basements often have elevated humidity and poor ventilation causing mold growth and musty odors. Testing identifies contamination requiring remediation.
Attic Air Quality: While attics aren’t occupied, contamination affects homes through air circulation. Our attic mold removal addresses contamination improving whole-house air quality.
Crawl Space Impact: Studies show up to 50% of indoor air originates from crawl spaces. Our crawl space mold remediation includes air quality improvement strategies.
HVAC System Contamination: Mold and contaminants in HVAC systems spread throughout properties. Testing reveals distribution system problems requiring cleaning or remediation.
Living Spaces: Testing in bedrooms, living rooms, and high-occupancy areas identifies contamination affecting daily life and health.
Poor indoor air quality causes various health effects:
Respiratory Symptoms:
Allergic Reactions:
Chronic Issues:
If symptoms improve when away from home and worsen upon return, air quality testing identifies potential causes.

Cost depends on sample quantity, testing scope, and property size. Basic mold testing with several air samples typically ranges from several hundred dollars. We provide specific quotes based on your needs and concerns.
Sample collection typically requires 1-2 hours. Laboratory analysis takes 3-5 business days. Complete reports with recommendations are usually provided within one week of sampling.
Maintain normal conditions including typical HVAC operation and humidity levels. Don’t clean extensively before testing as this temporarily reduces contamination. Close windows 24 hours before testing. Avoid activities generating excessive dust during sampling.
Our standard air quality testing focuses on mold, allergens, and particulates. Carbon monoxide and radon require specialized testing equipment. We can recommend appropriate testing resources for these specific concerns.
Testing identifies potential air quality issues that may contribute to symptoms. However, medical evaluation is necessary for definitive diagnosis. Testing provides information helping you and healthcare providers identify potential environmental factors.
Professional testing using certified laboratories provides accurate, reliable results. However, air quality varies over time. Testing provides snapshot of conditions during sampling period.
No. Testing doesn’t create hazards requiring evacuation. We recommend normal occupancy during sampling to capture typical conditions affecting air quality.
Annual testing benefits properties with chronic moisture problems or vulnerable occupants. Otherwise, testing when concerns arise, after water damage, post-remediation, or during real estate transactions.
Elevated levels indicate contamination requiring investigation and remediation. We provide recommendations addressing identified problems including source identification, remediation scope, and prevention strategies.
Yes. Laboratory analysis identifies mold species present. This helps assess health significance and guides appropriate remediation approaches. Some species like Stachybotrys require enhanced safety protocols.
