Home Indoor Air Quality Testing
Did you know the air inside your home could be more polluted than the air outside? Every breath you take may carry thousands of microscopic particles — including mold spores, allergens, VOCs, and other contaminants that can affect your health and comfort.

Why Get Indoor Air Quality Testing with Trinity Home Inspections?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing is one of the most overlooked — yet most important — steps in protecting your home and your health.
While issues like mold, allergens, and chemical pollutants are often invisible, their impact can be very real. Poor indoor air quality has been linked to a wide range of symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, dizziness, sinus congestion, skin irritation, and worsened asthma or allergy conditions.

You should consider Indoor Air Quality Testing if:
-
You or a family member experiences frequent respiratory issues, headaches, or allergic reactions at home
-
You've had recent water damage, plumbing leaks, or suspect mold growth
-
You notice musty odors, chemical smells, or persistent humidity
-
Your home is newly constructed, renovated, or uses synthetic materials and finishes
-
You're buying a new home and want peace of mind about the living environment
IAQ testing helps identify hidden contaminants like mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other airborne irritants — so you can take corrective action before they affect your well-being or cause lasting property damage.

How Indoor Air Quality Testing Works
Best Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Inspectors in Alabama!
At Trinity Home Inspections, our Indoor Air Quality Testing is simple, non-invasive, and designed to give you fast, accurate answers. Here’s what you can expect from the process:
​
1. Initial Assessment
We start with a visual walkthrough and a few questions about your concerns — such as musty odors, allergy symptoms, recent water damage, or new construction materials. This helps us identify potential problem areas for targeted testing.
​
2. Air and Surface Sampling
We collect air samples using professionally calibrated air pumps and impactors that capture airborne mold spores, VOCs, and particulate matter onto test media. If needed and requested by you, we also take surface swab samples from suspect areas like bathroom walls, HVAC vents, or crawlspaces.
​
3. Lab Analysis
All collected samples are sent overnight to a certified laboratory for detailed analysis. The lab identifies the types and concentrations of mold spores, VOCs, or other pollutants present in your home and certifies the results.
​
4. Detailed Report
You’ll receive a comprehensive report that explains what was found, what the results mean, and whether the levels are within normal or elevated ranges. We break it down in plain language so you can understand the health and property implications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Indoor Air Quality Testing Questions
​
-
What is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing?
Indoor Air Quality Testing is a diagnostic service that evaluates the presence of pollutants in your home’s air — including mold spores, allergens, chemical fumes (VOCs), and other harmful particles. The goal is to identify hidden issues that may impact your health or the integrity of your home. -
How do I know if I need IAQ testing?
You should consider testing if you experience persistent allergy symptoms, headaches, sinus issues, musty odors, or if your home has had recent water damage, new construction, or renovations. It's also valuable when buying a new home to ensure a healthy living environment. -
How long does the testing process take?
The on-site testing typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the home and the number of samples being collected. Results from the lab are usually returned within 2–3 business days. -
What does the test check for?
We test for airborne mold spores, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), allergens, and other pollutants. In some cases, we may also test for moisture levels, carbon dioxide, or surface contamination using swab samples. -
Will the test tell me if there’s black mold?
Yes. Our lab analysis can identify Stachybotrys chartarum (commonly known as black mold), along with many other mold types. The report will specify the exact types and concentrations found. -
Is this testing safe for my family and pets?
Yes! The testing process is completely non-invasive and safe. No chemicals are used, and no surfaces are damaged. -

Absolutely. We offer standalone Indoor Air Quality Testing, which is ideal for existing homeowners or renters. However, we also offer a discounted rate when added to a full home inspection. Call us to find out more! -
What if my results come back with elevated levels?
If elevated levels are detected, we’ll walk you through the next steps. This may include mold remediation, air purification, improved ventilation, or consulting with a specialist depending on the issue. -
