Our VOC & Formaldehyde Testing Process
Every VOC and formaldehyde testing service at Elite Home & Mold Inspections begins with a personalized initial consultation. During this call or site visit, we take the time to understand your specific concerns—whether you’re experiencing unexplained health symptoms, recent renovations, or suspect poor indoor air quality. We’ll discuss your property, potential sources of chemical exposure, and recommend the appropriate testing approach for your needs. Our goal is to ensure you feel informed and confident every step of the way. Serving homeowners and businesses across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, we’re here to help you breathe easier.
After the initial consultation, we perform a detailed on-site assessment to evaluate your property’s indoor air quality and identify potential sources of VOCs and formaldehyde. Our assessment includes:
Visual Inspection – We look for signs of recent renovations, new furniture, flooring, cabinetry, or other materials that may off-gas harmful chemicals.
Ventilation Review – We assess airflow, HVAC systems, and ventilation to determine how well your home or building is handling airborne pollutants.
Moisture & Humidity Checks – Excess moisture can contribute to poor air quality and amplify the effects of chemical exposure.
Occupant Habits & Use – We consider how cleaning products, air fresheners, and other daily-use items may be contributing to indoor air contamination.
This comprehensive site evaluation allows us to strategically place air sampling equipment for the most accurate results. Serving clients across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, our assessments are designed to pinpoint problem areas and guide effective solutions for healthier indoor environments.
Once air samples are collected from your home or building, they are carefully sealed and sent to an accredited environmental laboratory for professional analysis. Using advanced testing methods, the lab identifies and measures the concentration of formaldehyde and a wide range of VOCs present in the air.
Key features of our lab analysis include:
Accurate Detection – Sensitive instruments detect even low levels of VOCs and formaldehyde that may pose health risks.
Detailed Reporting – You’ll receive a comprehensive report outlining the types and concentrations of chemical compounds found, along with any levels that exceed recommended exposure limits.
Health-Based Guidelines – Results are compared to health-based standards from organizations like the EPA, OSHA, and WHO to help you understand the potential impact on your indoor environment.
Serving Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Elite Home & Mold Inspections ensures fast turnaround times and expert interpretation of results—so you know exactly what’s in the air you’re breathing and what steps to take next.
After laboratory analysis is complete, we provide you with a clear, easy-to-understand report outlining the results of your VOC and formaldehyde testing.
