Air Quality & Mold Testing
First Alert Air Quality Detection in Calgary & Surrounding Areas
The average person in Calgary especially in the winter season spends 90% of their time indoors, so the quality of your indoor air is of the utmost importance to your health. Not only is it important to understand the general quality of the air in your home and workplace, but you also need to know the air quality in each room. Let us provide you with on-site testing, that provides instant results and on the spot reporting. The benefits of air surveying is that it allows you to narrow down suspected mold to within a meter. There are no additional fees for lab analysis. Keep in mind this method will not identify species of spores, or count (we have another method is this information is detected or required). Get your first alert and peace of mind if there are any concerns with your indoor air quality.
Getting regular measurements of your home or businesses indoor air quality is a vital step in ensuring the health of your family.
How Mold Testing Enhances Air Quality Assessment
Mold testing plays a crucial role in enhancing air quality assessment by providing accurate insights into potential mold growth and contamination within indoor environments. By identifying the presence of mold spores, allergens, and other harmful substances, mold testing enables proactive measures to mitigate health risks and maintain a healthier indoor environment. Additionally, understanding the extent of mold contamination allows for targeted remediation efforts, ensuring the effective elimination of mold sources and preventing further air quality degradation. Incorporating mold testing into air quality assessments ultimately empowers individuals and organizations to make well-informed decisions that protect occupants’ health and enhance overall indoor air quality.

Bulk Sampling & Air Sampling (Accreted Lab Results)
Bulk and/or Air sampling may be necessary if the presence of mold is suspected (if, for example, musty odors are noted) but cannot be identified by a visual examination. Since micro-organisms can enter a building through travel of people and animals bringing them indoors. Also air movement from the outdoors floating through doors, open windows, and unsealed openings in the building can contribute to moisture problems; affecting your indoor air.
How does air samples get taken?
Air samples are taken by the use of a pump that pulls air through a collection cassette. The cassette catches mold spores from the air. Also swabs (bulk) are used to collect mold spores. The samples are sent to a laboratory, and a microscope is used to count the mold spores. The results are provided to you with results. Typically when mold is present in the air and building materials remediation is needed.
