Environmental Testing Services
Protect your health and ensure your property’s safety
At Grant Inspection Services, we provide in-depth environmental testing designed to protect your family’s health and safeguard your property. Our licensed inspectors use professional-grade diagnostic equipment and accredited laboratories to identify potential environmental hazards that often go undetected during a standard home inspection.
Every Inspector on our team is a State-Licensed Mold Assessor and Indoor Air Quality Expert, trained to evaluate and interpret complex environmental data. From mold and moisture analysis to air quality and contaminant testing, we deliver clear, science-based answers—and practical guidance—to help you make informed decisions about your indoor environment.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing Mold Assessment
Our Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing helps identify airborne mold spores and evaluate the overall health of your indoor environment. Using professional-grade equipment and accredited laboratory analysis, we determine whether airborne mold levels are within normal ranges or if elevated concentrations suggest hidden growth or moisture problems.
What’s Included:
- Air Sampling: We collect indoor and outdoor comparison samples to measure mold spore types and concentrations.
- Laboratory Analysis: All samples are processed by an accredited laboratory for accurate identification and reporting.
- Moisture & Environmental Evaluation: We document humidity levels, temperature, and potential moisture sources that may contribute to mold activity.
- Detailed Report: You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report with lab results and professional recommendations for next steps, if needed.
This service is ideal for homeowners, tenants, and property buyers concerned about indoor air quality, previous water damage, or unexplained health symptoms.
Residential Asbestos Testing
Asbestos was widely used in construction materials for insulation, flooring, ceiling texture, and other products prior to the 1980s. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose serious health risks. Our asbestos testing identifies the presence and type of asbestos-containing materials in your home. Samples are collected safely and analyzed by an accredited laboratory to determine if professional remediation is required.
Lead Paint Testing
Lead-based paint is common in homes built before 1978 and can be a major health concern—especially for children and pregnant women. Our certified inspectors conduct on-site testing to detect lead paint on walls, trim, windows, and other surfaces. If lead is found, we’ll provide guidance on proper containment and removal procedures to reduce exposure risks.
Water Quality Testing
We also provide comprehensive water testing for private wells and municipal water supplies to help ensure your water is safe for everyday use. Water testing is commonly required as part of VA and FHA loan approvals to ensure the property’s water supply meets health and safety standards.
Our Testing Includes Analysis For:
- Bacteria – Coliform and E. coli levels that indicate potential contamination.
- Nitrates and Nitrites – Compounds that can enter drinking water through fertilizers, septic systems, and runoff, posing health risks at high concentrations.
- Lead – Heavy metal contamination that may result from corroded plumbing, fixtures, or service lines.
Your water samples are collected following strict chain-of-custody protocols and analyzed by a certified laboratory. A detailed report outlines the results and provides clear, actionable recommendations.
Healthy Home Air Quality Assessment
Our Healthy Home service is designed to evaluate the overall health and safety of your indoor environment. Using advanced monitoring equipment, we measure several key indicators that directly impact air quality and occupant well-being.
The assessment includes:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): We test for chemical pollutants released from everyday products such as paints, cleaners, furniture, and building materials. Elevated VOC levels can contribute to irritation, headaches, and long-term health effects.
- Carbon Monoxide (CO): We screen for this colorless, odorless gas that can result from incomplete combustion of fuels. Even low-level exposure can cause fatigue or dizziness, while higher concentrations pose serious health risks.
- Particulate Matter (PM): We measure airborne particles such as dust, dander, smoke, and allergens that can aggravate respiratory conditions and reduce indoor air quality.
- Overall Air Quality Score: We provide a comprehensive score that reflects your home’s indoor air health, allowing you to understand current conditions and identify areas for improvement.
This service is ideal for homeowners who want peace of mind about the air they breathe—especially families with children, elderly occupants, or anyone sensitive to allergens or chemicals. Results are clearly explained in an easy-to-understand report with professional recommendations for improving indoor air quality.
