After a smoke concern

Outdoor AQI and indoor readings answer different questions. We can document current indoor particle levels after a concern about smoke.

Pets & everyday living

A home you share with pets

Particle readings can inform a household concern. They do not identify pet dander or diagnose the cause of a person’s or pet’s symptoms.

These symptoms have many possible causes. Testing provides information about the air; it does not diagnose illness. Suspected carbon monoxide or gas emergencies require immediate emergency help.

Independent testing. Clear next steps.

We sell no purifiers, HVAC work or remediation. Your findings can help you decide what to address, whether that involves a source, ventilation, filtration or a separate test.

Before we arrive

Two steps help us capture your normal indoor conditions.

12 hours

Close Up for 12 Hours

Keep windows and exterior doors closed for 12 hours before and throughout the visit. Normal entry and exit is fine.

As usual

Keep Your Routine

Use heat, air conditioning and everyday appliances as you normally would.

Avoid fresh cleaning products, air fresheners and scented candles just before the visit.

Air quality testing questions in Fairfax County

Does AQI testing cover the whole property?

Yes. AQI testing covers the whole property. You can flag particular odors, rooms or recent changes so the technician has context for the visit.

Do you test throughout Fairfax County?

Yes. We serve the county's communities, including Reston, Herndon, McLean, Vienna, Centreville, Burke and Springfield. Share the exact property address and rooms of concern when you book.

Is the outdoor AQI a reading for my home?

No. The Air Quality Index describes outdoor air. Your indoor conditions can differ. On-site testing records the indoor readings at the time of the visit.

What does the standard indoor test measure?

Fine and coarse particles, total chemical vapors, formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and combustible gas, plus temperature and humidity as context. Written findings explain the readings in plain language.

Can testing show whether a purifier is helping?

We can document indoor conditions with your normal setup in use. Ask about a comparison or follow-up visit. One reading alone does not prove that a purifier caused a change.

Does this include mold, pet allergens or radon?

No. General particle readings do not identify pet dander or specific allergens. Mold, radon, asbestos and lead require separate methods. Tell us your concern so we can help you choose the appropriate test.
