INDOOR
AIR QUALITY (IAQ)
Improving your office or businesses
indoor air quality will increase your bottom line. Office and business Indoor Air Quality problems can be the cause of excessive
employee complaints and health conditions such as asthma, allergies and colds. Such problems can be serious and should be
investigated. Office buildings without operable windows can create unhealthy conditions. Assessing IAQ can have many beneficial rewards such as improved employee output and comfort, reduced employee absenteeism, and reduced
employee legal litigation for health related work risks.
Indoor Air Quality has many factors and variables to
learn more about I.A.Q. please visit EPA's I.A.Q. website. Many Indoor Air Quality Problems arise from not having adequate ventilation and/or the presence of contaminants in
the air. Some aspects our company commonly looks at in addition to interviews and complaint research are:
•
Carbon Dioxide levels an indicator of fresh air supply
• Carbon Monoxide levels an indicator of exhaust
gas present
• Carpet Gas levels that can cause worker allergies
• Combustible Gas detection
indicating gas leaks
• Dust levels to determine if unhealthy levels exist
• Dust characterization
to determine what is present
• Formaldehyde gas levels to evaluate product emissions
• Mold
Testing indicator of water intrusion and worker allergies
• Temp. And Relative Humidity physical comfort and
to protect building and contents
• Total Volatile Organic Compounds (V.O.C.’s) indication of total chemicals
present
• V.O.C. characterization to determine what chemicals are present
• Air volumes at
supply diffusers to determine air flow
• Pressure differentials to determine if smells or contaminants are
moving to unwanted areas.
• Basic assessment of HVAC system to see if it has correct thermal and ventilation
load requirements
• Assessment of material safety data sheets (MSDS) to understand chemicals present
MOLD SERVICES
We provide Mold Testing and Inspection Services for your current existing properties. We will assist you in assessing your liability in
real estate transactions, and ultimately to determine if a property is a good investment. Our investigations
can find unknown water intrusion through the presence of mold spores in the air and moisture testing of walls. Air and surface
samples are taken identify mold levels. Non destructive moisture testing of the walls and floors is done to identify hidden
water leaks. If mold is found C.E.T. LLC will work with your contractor to get accurate bids and control costs while monitoring
remediation to insure it is effective and to minimize the spreading of mold into other areas. See mold scams in F.A.Q. before you begin dealing with a mold problem. You can not remediate mold until moisture problems have resolved, water
leaks must be repaired and moisture and humidity levels need to be at normal levels. MATERIAL AND PARTICULATE CHARACTERIZATION
