Indoor Air Quality
Schedule a Full Service Air Quality Test
Billions of invisible but potentially harmful pollutants and bio-pollutants are often present in the air, even in the most well-maintained homes. The EPA studies the results of air quality within specific areas and has identified areas of concern throughout the country. Indoor air quality information is readily available on their website and consistently monitored by us to identify trends in the environment.

Allergen and Asthma Trigger Screening – Starting At $449.00
Home Air Pollution Test
Residential indoor air quality testing provides an effective way of preventing exposure to harmful contaminants inside your home by seeking out excessive moisture, mold growth, air leakage, faulty HVAC equipment, and harmful household chemicals.
After testing the air in your home to identify any harmful pollutants, we design a whole-house Clean Air System that will maintain a safe, healthy indoor air quality year-round.
This test provides the necessary data showing the presence of contaminants above threshold limit values. We provide a full analytical review by a highly qualified Certified Microbial Consultant (CMC). Our review contains a reference report from the EPA, IICRC S500 and S520 guidelines. We then provide a list of self cleanup techniques or referral to an appropriate specialist.
Laboratory turnaround is currently 5 – 7 days.

What Are
Allergens & Asthma Triggers?
Allergen contaminants include mold, animal dander and cat saliva, dust mites, and cockroaches. There are many sources of these pollutants; household pets are sources of saliva and animal dander. Contaminated central air handling systems can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew, and other sources of biological contaminants and can then distribute these contaminants through the home.
Air Allergen & Mold Hazards
Some biological contaminants trigger allergic reactions, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, allergic rhinitis, and some types of asthma. Allergic reactions occur only after repeated exposure to a specific biological allergen. However, that reaction may occur immediately upon re-exposure or after multiple exposures over time. As a result, people who have noticed only mild allergic reactions or no reactions at all may suddenly find themselves very sensitive to particular allergens.
Protecting
Your Home
By controlling the relative humidity level in a home, the growth of some sources of biological contaminants can be minimized. A relative humidity of 30-50 percent is generally recommended for homes. Standing water, water-damaged materials, or wet surfaces also serve as a breeding ground for molds, mildews, bacteria, and insects. House dust mites, the source of one of the most powerful biological allergens, grow in damp, warm environments.
Asthma Triggers
The EPA (US Environmental Protection Agency) lists the following as the Top Indoor Environmental Allergens and Asthma Triggers:
- Second-hand cigarette smoke
- Pets - warm-blooded mammalian
- Cockroaches
- Dust mites
- Molds

"We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience with Air Care. From the very first call, Jessica was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions. They scheduled us quickly, which we truly appreciated. When Joe came out, it was immediately clear we were in good hands. He is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to walk us through everything, making sure we understood the process every step of the way. He also handled communication and reporting with our landlord seamlessly, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. Air Care is professional, prompt, trustworthy and genuinely cares about their clients. We highly recommend them to anyone in need of their services."

"This company is exceptional. Joe, the owner, spent hours inspecting and testing our home, and his knowledge of mold and moisture problems is truly expert‑level. He identified issues we never would have found on our own. They completed a full remediation in our basement and installed a heavy‑duty dehumidifier. After a voltage problem in our home affected the unit, Joe came back personally to get it working again. That kind of dedication is hard to find. Andrew and Dylan also cleaned our ductwork and did an excellent job — professional, efficient, and equipped for serious work. If you’re dealing with mold or air quality concerns, call them. They’re thorough, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend."

"We called Air Care to investigate air quality concerns in our home. They completed a very thorough inspection and immediately identified several major construction issues in our basement that were causing hidden mold growth. Air Care's mold spore tests revealed that levels were significantly elevated in our home. Air Care started remediation work very quickly to remove the incorrectly installed insulation and reinsulate everything properly using methods that would not cause mold growth. They installed new drywall and put back our built-in cabinets and ceiling tiles. Everything was as good as new! We had an independent company come back and re-test the air quality, and mold spore levels were reduced by over 95%. We were very happy with the quality of work done by Air Care and their attention to detail and care for our home. They are highly knowledgeable in their field and took the time to explain everything to us in detail. We would highly recommend them to anyone experiencing air quality issues in their home or workplace!"

"Joe was extremely helpful and thorough in evaluating our new house for mold. We found some and another company tried to charge us 4,000 dollars to clean up one wall. Joe identified that the wall was not the contributing factor to the air mold and that the old owners must have had moldy items in the basement. We filtered the air and retested. Mold is gone. Saved us a ton of money and spent the time teaching us what to do and look for. 10/10 service."

"We hired Air Care for a big mold remediation of a carriage house/garage. From the start Joe was excellent in explaining what was needed, he answered all our questions and explained every process along the way. All the guys from Air Care were efficient and considerate and they went above and beyond to ensure the job was completed on time and with perfection. Jessica from the office was great as well. We couldn't be happier with the price and service we received from start to finish."

"Joe gave us an estimate to remove the mold from our basement and Air Care did the work. Our basement has never been drier and more odor free. The guys worked neatly and carefully and did a great job. I highly recommend Air Care. Thanks, DBM."
