A proper physical inspection is always paramount to a successful indoor air quality assessment. A professional assessment typically includes, but is not limited to the following:
- Investigate areas associated with occupant complaints
- Evaluate the locations and extent of possible source areas for indoor air problems, such as mold contamination
- Consider the possibility of hidden contamination sources
- Analyze air and surface samples for viable and non-viable mold as appropriate, to identify biological contaminants of concern
- Identify the cause of water damage or moisture problems
- Inspect inside air ducts and air handling equipment for contamination or malfunction
- Consult other qualified professionals as necessary
- Measure ambient air quality parameters such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and humidity
- Outline follow-up options for next steps to resolution
