It takes a bit of time, but it’s a very simple procedure. An indoor air quality test involves sampling a known amount of air by using a small, quiet pump to draw air through a medium that traps certain contaminants. Then we mail the sample to a third-party, independent, and certified laboratory where they can use special analytical equipment and an algorithm to extrapolate what the contaminant levels are overall. When we arrive at the testing site, we interview the homeowner or other occupants to determine what their particular concerns are, if any, so that we can establish the best testing location(s) and the type of testing medium to best serve their needs. From there, we simply set up the air pump and collect the sample. It takes 2.5-3.5 hours to collect a single sample. We do have two pumps, so we can collect two samples at the same time, if needed. Formaldehyde testing uses a different collection media, so if someone wants both VOC and formaldehyde sampling, we would collect them
