Symptoms of poor home air quality
But how do you know if you need to get your indoor air tested?
If you are experiencing unexplained symptoms and allergies, or are noticing unusual odours inside your home, it’s a good idea to conduct indoor air quality testing in yor home. Here are some more of the most common health symptoms associated with poor indoor air quality:

How does air quality testing work?

The technicia will then send your air sample(s) to an accredited microbiological lab for detailed analysis. The results reveal the exact types of mold spores present and their concentrations.

How much does air quality testing cost?
The cost of an air quality test largely depends on the type of test you are getting (viable or non-viable). Viable testing is substantially more expensive than non-viable testing–almost double the cost.
Another factor that influences the price of an air test is how fast you want your results. Typically a turnaround of 24-48 hours will cost more than the regular service.
Finally, each indoor environmental professional has their own pricing system and some variance in costs can be expected. Contact Mold Busters today to get a quote.
