We use the most advanced instruments and use the scientific method when performing indoor air quality testing. Chose Indoor Science to have a nationally-recognized expert involved in your project. There is no other air quality testing company in Chicago that can match our knowledge and years of experience with assessing the indoor environment. Most companies performing air quality testing are ultimately trying to sell you something: an air filtration system, duct cleaning services, mold remediation, etc.
If you suspect a mold problem, you need a mold inspector that has no financial interest in the cleanup. Many Chicago area companies offer low-cost mold testing, which gets their foot in the door for expensive and potentially unnecessary mold remediation. We recommend hiring a mold testing company that has no financial interest in mold cleanup, remediation, and disinfecting products. Indoor Science is the Chicago area's top mold inspection and testing company for a reason. We have no conflicts of interest, we won't try to sell you anything, and we don't perform remediation.
Northern Illinois has some of the highest levels of radon. Have Indoor Science do radon testing in your Chicago area home, daycare center, or other building type by calling us at (312) 920-9393. Radon is a naturally occurring soil gas that causes lung cancer. Unfortunately, radon is colorless and odorless so the only way to know if you have high concentrations is to perform a test. Some areas in Illinois are known to have higher natural concentrations than others, but everyone is encouraged to test.
Asbestos is a collective term used to describe a class of naturally occurring minerals that have a "fibrous" structure. These minerals are Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, and fibrous varieties of Anthophyllite, Tremolite, and Actinolite. The most common type we find during our asbestos testing is Chrysotile. Asbestos was used in many commercial products and therefore can be found in many old buildings. Although most uses of asbestos have now been banned in the United States, there are still some allowable uses.
Indoor Science uses advanced instruments to accurately measure your indoor air quality. We can perform a general indoor air quality assessment or target any specific concerns. No other Chicago-area company matches our expertise and credentials. The indoor air quality can impact your health and productivity- so it is important to have it evaluated. Asbestos can be found in building materials, especially in older structures. Indoor Science performs asbestos inspections and asbestos air sampling to identify any problems in your property.
