Hiring the right Air Quality Testing companies
If you’re experiencing symptoms of mould – but can’t find the source – it might be hidden mould and air quality testing may be needed.
Symptoms such as watering eyes, sneezing, coughing, drowsiness and itching may be due to mould that’s hiding out of our sight and can’t be detected with a visual inspection.
Another reason to have air quality testing is buying a home that you’re unfamiliar with.
Whatever your reasons, we can accurately evaluate your air quality and help to remediate any mould issues you might have.
"We never create work for ourselves and we won't recommend indoor air quality testing unless it's absolutely necessary".
Mike Bashford
Owner of Get Rid Of Mould
Most of the time, we find that the mould in people’s homes has either started growing where we can see it, or it has made its way from inside the walls – or from the attic or basement – out into view.
When this is the case, we can typically trace its origins within the home and create a plan to remediate (remove) the mould for good.
But, sometimes, and even though we can smell it or a family is experiencing symptoms that are suggestive of a mould problem, we can’t see it or know where its source begins.
When that’s the case, we recommend that we test your air quality in order to narrow-down the location source of the mould.
Our immediate goal is to avoid air quality testing whenever possible, however sometimes it really is the best possible plan of action.
You can also rest assured that, as assessment specialists, we are certified and trained air quality testing experts and industry leaders in providing homeowners and commercial property owners with the most professional services possible.
Essentially, we take a minimum of two “air samples”, one from outside – which serves as a control sample – and then we take at least one more from inside the building or home.
Depending on the severity of the mould issues, we might also recommend taking a sample for every floor as the results will provide us with a more complete contaminants analysis of the entire property.
Once we have completed taking the samples, we send them to a lab for professional analysis and wait for the air quality assessment results report.
Once we receive the results, we’ll contact you to walk you through what they mean and we’ll discuss future steps and the available options with you.
It’s important to keep in mind that mould lives all around us, whether indoors or outdoors, and the important thing is the mould levels.
Once they get too high, they pose significant health issues and need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

When thinking about their homes, maintaining healthy indoor air quality levels is (unfortunately) an often overlooked aspect of what most homeowners tend to worry about most. The concept of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ tends to apply here, much like the condition of your roof’s shingles or the structural integrity of your back deck’s foundational frame.
The longer-term problem with ignoring your home’s air quality, however, means it may be poor enough to affect your family’s physical and emotional well-being and you may not even know why it is happening..
