Some Good Reasons to Test Air Quality in Your Building:
Contaminated Ventilation Systems
When ventilation systems are not properly cleaned, dust, debris, mold, and other accumulations may be distributed throughout the building. Do not mistake bad air emanating from the ventilation system with structural issues, which require more elaborate solutions. Inspect your ventilation system today.
Hidden Mold
As institutions, age, and changes in management take hold, it is not always clear what the current status of a building is. Inspect for humidity and airborne mold to shed light on the unknown.
Crumbling Asbestos
Older buildings have very likely been built using asbestos as a fire retardant. Now that asbestos has been identified as a major health risk, we must pay close attention decaying materials, water damaged structure to ensure dangerous asbestos fibers don’t become released into the air, causing a health hazard.
Radon Gas Accumulation
Radon is a highly toxic, odorless, colorless gas that manifests from beneath the building that can accumulate indoors, creating a health risk. Especially toxic for smokers
Hospitals
To keep current on indoor air quality and to ensure your most vulnerable patients are not exposed to airborne contamination, conduct an indoor air quality inspection.
Religious Institutions
Throughout Quebec, Air-Labs has served religious communities to help detect and inform clients of potential hidden problems. As institutions, age, and changes in management take hold, it is not always clear what the current status of a building is. Inspect for humidity and airborne mold to shed light on the unknown.

Frequently Asked Questions
After the telephone consultation, we can usually offer a reliable estimate.
Humidity in contact with a decomposable that doesn’t dry efficiently is the source of all mould. This includes issues created condensation, water damage or relative humidity. Usually, mold growth is propelled by a lack of ventilation, which is why often mould is a hidden problem.

Air Labs provides asbestos inspections upon request. We provide a bulk sampling of walls, tiles, insulation and other materials that will detail what percentage of the material contains asbestos fibers. We also provide air quality inspections to screen for airborne asbestos fibers post abatement or pre-purchase.
