IAQ—02/Why us
An independent third party — and nothing else
We are not contractors and we do not sell remediation. That is the point.
As an independent third-party Indoor Environmental Quality (IAQ/IEQ) testing and reporting consultancy run by PhD-level experts, we provide unbiased, thorough evaluations of real-time indoor hazard conditions.
Unlike contractors or suppliers, we have no vested interest — our analysis presents clear facts, whether a building is defect-free or poses challenges. Our expert background enables a full-spectrum building and IAQ inspection and testing without the hassle of assembling multiple consultants.
A Healthy Homes IAQ™ inspection is a prudent first step, if not an economical last one, in assessing a building’s environmental and indoor air quality.

IAQ—03/The building as a system
Where indoor air quality problems actually start
A building works as a whole. The envelope, the ventilation and the drainage are not separate problems, so we do not inspect them separately.
IAQ—04/What we test for
The hazards we find, in the order they usually appear
Our IAQ and environmental hazard review works through the building as a system, not as a list of isolated samples.
01
Mould & mildew
growth, testing, analysis
02
Moisture & water ingress
humidity, envelope, foundation
03
CO / CO₂ & smoke
combustion gas assessment
04
Radon
radon-rich region testing
05
Ventilation & filtration
mechanical systems review
06
Odour & bio-hazard
assessment and reporting
Full-spectrum testing is coordinated as one project, so you are not assembling separate consultants for mould, ventilation, envelope and combustion gas questions.
IAQ—05/Our services
Professional building and IAQ inspection services
Backed by many years of construction design, inspection, testing, assessment and management expertise. We embrace a Professional Code of Ethics.
IAQ—02
Building envelope and systems
A building works as a system. Where the envelope, ventilation or drainage fails, indoor air quality follows — so we inspect all three together.

IAQ—06/Lifelong service
The relationship usually outlives the inspection
Understanding personal health alongside building issues is a challenging set of problems — not only time sensitive, but client sensitive. We are focused on assisting our clients in understanding their indoor environment as a source of health issues.
Historically, the relationship with our clientele is lifelong as we consistently help them through existing and future technical building issues and bio-hazard challenges. We focus our service on lifelong learning and lifelong customer satisfaction.
IAQ—07/In their words
Clients who needed a straight answer
A sample of the feedback we receive. Every one of these started with a building that did not feel right.
01
“Very thorough pre-inspection performed on our newly purchased commercial building. With the building being from the early 70’s there was lots of potential for issues. Healthy Homes picked up on many deficiencies, allowing us to negotiate a price reduction. They also took asbestos samples for us so that we knew what the potential costs may be prior to any renovations. Very professional and great people to work with. I will definitely use these guys again.”
02
“I cannot say enough good things about Healthy Homes IAQ. After being unwell for over a year, after moving into my new home, Craig from Healthy Homes IAQ was instrumental in helping me get down to the problems with mold and HVAC issues.”
03
“I just wanted to express my gratitude for your expertise and diligence, which solved the humidity issue in my house. I implemented two of your recommendations — fixed the bathroom fan and replaced the flapper fresh air vent with a screen. The humidity level in my house has been in the 30s (down from 50–60), with no condensation even in very cold weather. I don’t know if anyone else would have been able to detect the issue. It took me a while to find the right person, but I finally did.”
