Indoor Air Quality Testing

Indoor Air Quality Testing | Mold, Ventilation, VOC, and Industrial Hygiene Monitoring

Indoor air quality concerns are not always caused by one single problem. Occupant complaints may be related to mold and moisture, poor ventilation, odors, elevated carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, combustion byproducts, or other building conditions.

We provide indoor air quality testing and investigations for Michigan schools, offices, commercial buildings, and other occupied spaces. Using direct-reading instruments and proven sample collection methods, we help clients document conditions, identify likely contributing factors, and determine practical next steps.

Indoor Air Quality Testing Services

Indoor air quality services can include:

  • Mold and moisture investigations
  • Ventilation-related evaluations
  • Odor investigations
  • Temperature and relative humidity measurements
  • Carbon dioxide screening
  • Carbon monoxide screening
  • Volatile organic compound screening
  • Particulate or complaint-based air testing
  • Documentation of building conditions related to indoor air quality

In addition to indoor air quality investigations, we also provide selected industrial hygiene monitoring for workplace exposure concerns, including silica and lead exposure monitoring.

Mold and Moisture Investigations

When mold is suspected, the most important step is usually identifying the source of moisture and evaluating affected materials. Mold growth is usually a symptom of a water or humidity problem, not just an air testing problem.

That means indoor air quality investigations should be tied to the actual complaint. In some cases, direct-reading instruments and environmental measurements are useful. In others, moisture assessment, visual inspection, and building condition evaluation can be important than air sampling alone.

Ventilation, Odor, and Complaint-Based Testing

Not every indoor air quality concern calls for the same type of testing. Ventilation complaints, musty odors, comfort issues, combustion concerns, and recurring occupant complaints often require a focused investigation based on the building conditions and the nature of the concern.

Direct-reading instruments can be especially useful when investigating changing indoor environmental conditions over time. Combined with visual observations and moisture assessment, this type of testing helps build a clearer picture of what may be affecting the indoor environment.

Why Indoor Air Quality Testing Matters

A good indoor air quality investigation helps building owners move beyond guesswork. It can help document current conditions, identify likely building-related causes of complaints, and support decisions about repairs, ventilation changes, moisture correction, or additional evaluation.
 
For schools and other occupied buildings, this can be especially helpful when the concern involves recurring odors, visible mold, occupant complaints, ventilation concerns, or dampness following roof leaks, plumbing leaks, or condensation issues.

FAQs

When should I schedule an indoor air quality investigation?
Indoor air quality testing may be appropriate when a building has recurring odors, moisture or mold concerns, ventilation complaints, occupant complaints, or questions about changing indoor environmental conditions.

Do you test for mold, ventilation, and odor complaints?
Yes. Indoor air quality investigations can be tailored to mold and moisture concerns, ventilation-related complaints, odors, and other building-related air quality issues.

Does every mold concern need air sampling?
Not always. In many cases, moisture investigation, visual observations, and building condition assessment are more important than air sampling alone.

Do you perform VOC, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide screening?
Yes. Depending on the complaint, we can use direct-reading instruments to evaluate carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, temperature, humidity, and other indoor air quality indicators.

Do you also provide industrial hygiene monitoring?
Yes. In addition to indoor air quality investigations, we also provide selected industrial hygiene monitoring services for workplace exposure concerns, including silica and lead exposure monitoring.
