You cannot see most indoor air problems. Mold spores, fine dust, and gases given off by building materials float through the air you breathe at home and at work. A test tells you what is actually in it.
Our team collects the samples, sends them to a lab, and explains the results in plain language. Call (204) 789-1514 and we will book a time that works for you.
Air quality testing measures what is in the air inside a building. We take samples in the rooms you use most, plus one outdoor sample for comparison, and send them to a laboratory.
Different problems call for different tests. A musty basement points to mold spore sampling. A fresh renovation points to a check on chemical vapours. We pick the test that matches what you are dealing with.
You breathe indoor air for most of the day, so what is in it matters. Poor indoor air can set off asthma attacks, allergy reactions, and infections in the airways.
It also makes existing conditions worse. People with allergies, asthma, or emphysema usually notice it first. A test tells you whether the air is the cause before you spend money on the wrong repair.
It measures what is actually in the air inside your home or business. We take samples in the rooms you use most, plus one sample outdoors for comparison, and send them to an accredited laboratory. The lab identifies spore types and particle counts, and we explain the numbers in plain language.
Common targets are mold spores, dust, and the gases given off by building materials, furniture, and cleaning products. Our equipment also reads carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, respirable silica, asbestos fibres, and diesel particulate.
We record the temperature and humidity in each room at the same time. If you are worried about something specific, tell us when you call and we will match the test to it.
A musty smell, visible mold, or a damp spot that keeps coming back are all reasons to test. So is a recent leak or flood, or a room that never seems to get fresh air. Pay attention to symptoms that ease off when you leave the house and return when you come back. Write down when they start and which rooms they happen in, then call us.

We walk the property with you, room by room, and ask about symptoms, odours, and any recent water damage. We look for visible mold, damp spots, and poor ventilation, then agree with you on which rooms to sample.
Air samples are collected in the rooms you use most, along with an outdoor control sample. If we see something on a surface or in a material, we sample that too.
Outdoor air always carries some spores and dust, so an indoor number on its own does not tell you much. The outdoor sample is the yardstick we measure against. If the indoor count sits well above it, something inside the building is producing it.
Yes. Airborne mold spore sampling is one of the most common tests we run, and a musty basement is the usual reason people book it. The same test is used after a remediation to confirm the work did its job and the air is clear.
A fresh renovation is a good reason to check for chemical vapours, because new materials and finishes give off gases into the air. If the work disturbed older materials, we can also run asbestos fibre air sampling. Do not disturb anything you think contains asbestos while you wait for a result.
A kit or a handheld meter gives you a reading, not an answer. Our samples go to an accredited laboratory, where spore types and particle counts are identified and compared against the outdoor control.
That is what gives you a written report you can act on, and one you can hand to your insurance company if a claim is involved.
You get a written report you can keep, and we go through it with you in plain language. From there you get a plan that fixes the source of the problem, not just the symptom. Once that work is done, we re-test the air to confirm it is clear. Call (204) 789-1514 to book a test.
