What this inspection helps you understand
Persistent odours, condensation on windows, stuffiness, or symptoms that ease as soon as you leave the building are all reasons owners start asking what is in the air. Testing turns that question into measurements. It works best alongside an inspection of the building itself, because a sample tells you what is present while the building tells you why it is there.
What is included?
The scope is confirmed before the visit and depends on what the testing needs to answer. A typical indoor air quality assessment includes:
- On-site temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide readings
- Visual review of moisture, ventilation and likely contaminant pathways
- Airborne mould spore sampling with an outdoor comparison sample
- Particulate screening, and VOC or combustion-gas sampling where requested
- Accredited third-party laboratory analysis with documented chain of custody
- Written report explaining the results and the recommended next step
Who is this inspection for?
- Occupants with persistent odours, stuffiness or comfort complaints
- Buyers who want the air assessed before a purchase is finalized
- Landlords and property managers responding to tenant concerns
- Offices, schools and commercial spaces reviewing occupant complaints
How long does it take?
On-site readings and sampling are usually completed in a single visit. Laboratory turnaround depends on the analysis selected and is confirmed when the scope is agreed, so the written report follows once results are returned.
What happens after the inspection?
ASM combines the on-site observations with the laboratory results in a written report. It explains what was sampled, what the laboratory found, how the indoor result compares with the outdoor baseline where one was taken, and what practical step follows — ventilation, moisture correction, further investigation or remediation by an appropriate contractor.
