AirCare specializes in working with companies and individuals to identify and address indoor air quality issues at the first sign of a potential problem or complaint by an employee or occupant of a building or home.

A thorough indoor air quality (IAQ) survey is a process of elimination during which possible contributing elements to an IAQ problem are systematically isolated and confirmed or denied. Any perceived IAQ problem could be from a singular source or multitude of sources, none of which, if taken alone, would be of significance. There are currently no governmental standards related to indoor air quality with the exception of building code ventilation standards. However, there are many guidelines for what are considered to be acceptable levels of contaminants in office and home environments.

An IAQ investigation will generally begin with a visual inspection of the site or premises followed by some combination of ambient and direct contact mold spore sampling within each suspect area.  In addition, one ambient mold spore sample is performed on the outside of the premises in order to have a source for background comparison purposes.

All sampling is performed by a fully trained and certified technician. Once completed, all samples are immediately delivered to an independently owned and fully accredited third party laboratory for review and analysis. Copies of the actual written results are included in our final IAQ report.  In addition to mold spore sampling, every IAQ investigation includes testing for levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, temperature, and relative humidity within each of the suspect areas and on the outside of the premises for background comparison purposes.
