Indoor Air Quality Testing in Charleston
For Charleston metro homes where something smells musty, humidity won't stay down, or visible growth keeps coming back — and for tenants and landlords who need neutral documentation. The pro collects spore-trap air samples in each concern zone plus an outdoor control sample, takes surface samples where growth is visible, and records humidity and dew-point readings. Everything goes to an independent accredited lab, and you get a plain-language report of what was found.
The details
What Indoor Air Quality Testing Includes
Spore-trap air sampling in each concern area with an outdoor control for comparison; tape-lift or swab surface samples where growth is visible; humidity, temperature, and dew-point readings room by room; lab analysis by an independent accredited lab; written report explaining the results in plain language.
What Affects the Cost
- Number of samples and zones tested — each air cassette and surface sample adds lab analysis.
- Lab turnaround requested — standard results take 1–3 business days; rush analysis costs more.
- Size of the property — large homes and multi-unit buildings need more samples to be representative.

Indoor Air Quality Testing FAQs
Spore-trap air sampling in each concern area with an outdoor control for comparison; tape-lift or swab surface samples where growth is visible; humidity, temperature, and dew-point readings room by room; lab analysis by an independent accredited lab; written report explaining the results in plain language.
On-site testing takes about 1–2 hours for a typical home. Lab results are usually back in 1–3 business days; rush analysis is often available.
Run the HVAC normally for 24 hours before the visit, and leave air purifiers off the day of testing — they pull particles out of the air and skew the samples. Note which rooms smell musty and when.
