Environmental Testing





In addition to a visual inspection, our staff use a variety of highly sensitive instruments to help us determine the underlying causes of a buildings poor indoor air quality as well as to look for evidence of moisture intrusion and mold growth.

Is your property suffering from poor air circulation, foul odours or sick building syndrome? Does your home have poor indoor air quality? Or even worse been used as a marijuana grow op or meth lab?

Our team of certified and experienced Indoor Air quality professionals can perform a proper indoor air quality assessment to determine the causes and outline recommendations that can quickly restore the air quality in your home or office environment.

Our staff will perform a thorough inspection or your property using state of the art equipment and instrumentation. In fact, in order to do a mould inspection properly, an indoor air quality assessment should be performed first and this will assist in deciding what type of laboratory analysis is appropriate and what laboratory facility the samples should be taken to.

Don't be fooled by companies that claim to perform these services for rock bottom prices….buyer beware….A proper assessment requires 10's of thousands of dollars in high tech equipment and proper training and experience.

Indoor Air Quality Assessments and Testing for Mould

We use a variety of highly sensitive instruments to help us determine the underlying causes of a buildings poor indoor air quality.
Visual Inspection of the building for evidence of moisture intrusion and visible signs of mould growth.
  • Moisture Meters to determine if walls, floors and ceilings show signs of active moisture problems.
  • Air Quality Testing to determine air patterns and relative humidity in the building which could lead to mould issues.
  • Airborne Laser Particle Counters to determine which areas of the building show the highest dust load (which could be mould spores)
  • MVOC meters (Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds) to determine off gassing levels for mould in the indoor environment.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras to locate hidden moisture issues inside wall cavities without any holes, marks or other destructive techniques.
  • Viable Laboratory Testing by way of drawing air (living mould spores) into a petri dish with an agar solution that will grow active mould spores.
  • Non-Viable Mould Sampling by way of drawing air (dead mould spores) into a spore trap which will identify mould spores that have either died, dried up or have been killed by a biocide.
  • Tape lift sampling for source identification.

  3. Environmental testing is important to determine hazards within our environment that can be harmful to people. Large spills of hazardous substances can seep into soil and then possibly into groundwater which will affect our drinking water supply. https://www.simonairquality.com/
