One of the more overlooked features of any residential or commercial property is their indoor air quality health. Many factors inside and outside the property can create a buildup of pollutants in the air. These pollutants can result in short and long term health problems for anyone inside the affected property. Today’s technology allows for detailed air sampling and indoor air quality testing in Toronto and surrounding area. Professionals provide property owners with a detailed analysis of pollutants and other factors of poor air quality. Our team provides effective solutions for correcting the problem and preventing future air quality issues and health risks.

When you hire a professional home inspection company, such as Inch by Inch Inspections, you receive affordable solutions to resolve air quality issues and improve indoor air quality. The health message is clear. The air you breathe inside your home or office should not make you sick or impact your productivity. Air quality pollution is preventable by identifying the contaminants and their causes. Air Testing is therefore the first step in solving poor air quality. The contaminants Inch by Inch Inspections tests for depend on the indoor environment of your home or office. Mold is the number one cause for triggering allergies for some people. Symptoms may include nausea, stuffiness, and eye irritation. Additional conditions we look for are poor air circulation inside your home, especially if it has been built within the last ten years. Higher than normal levels of carbon dioxide can also produce symptoms such as shortness of breath and nausea. This can be due to the lack of outdoor air entering your home. When you are faced with a mold problem, or home air quality issues, trust a professional air quality inspection from Inch by Inch. We can identify and remove mold in Toronto, asbestos, bacteria, high levels of CO2, air pollution and more.
Home air quality issues can likely be traced undetected mold growth. Mold is an organic fungus that can easily fester and develop in areas with poor air circulation and high humidity. Unmanaged mold can continue to grow and take over walls, fixtures, wood components and even carpets releasing a constant stream of harmful mold spores and bacteria into the airflow within the residence. Moldy air will create unpleasant odors and short term health issues such as:
Long term health effects such as respiratory disease, which can lead to premature deaths, are more severe. Air quality testing is the first step in detecting and eliminating the fungus and the symptoms that go along with mold present in the air.
It is always good to conduct air quality tests immediately after the introduction of new home products; this identifies potential pollutants, allowing action to be taken to safeguard health and well-being.
Sometimes contaminants and pollutants will infiltrate your indoor spaces without any warning. It isn’t until its effects are felt physiologically that property owners realize there may be a problem. To schedule a home air quality test promptly, look out for the following signs of poor indoor air quality. The team at Inch By Inch Inspections has the technology and expertise to provide comprehensive air quality testing to help you identify and eliminate contaminants for healthier living.
Strange & Persistent Odours: Your nose is a preliminary home air quality test. When you notice new and unusual smells filling your home or indoor spaces, a more significant problem is likely at stake. While some indoor pollutants are odourless, others, like mold, emit a strong, pungent scent that should be followed up with air quality testing.
Physical Symptoms: The longer you or a loved one spends exposed to contaminants, the more your body will show symptoms. Sometimes symptoms will be similar to a common cold or flu, such as sneezing, coughing, and even runny noses and sore throats. But exposure can cause headaches or migraines, nausea, rashes, and difficulty breathing depending on the contaminant.
If you feel or smell any signs of pollution and contamination indoors, don’t hesitate to call the professionals at Inch By Inch Inspections.

Reduced air quality can easily be caused by factors inside the property as well as outside environmental issues. Older commercial properties that still used building materials that might contain asbestos must perform air quality testing to determine if the harmful product has contaminated the air. Faulty and inefficient HVAC systems and improper venting can also build up pollutants inside commercial spaces and warehouses. Businesses that are experiencing a reduction in productivity and increase in costs may have a ‘sick’ workforce that have been exposed to bad quality air. A detailed air quality test from a professional with commercial experience will reveal current and potential air quality issues and solutions.
