• Water Damage Evaluations

Leaking or broken pipes, high humidity, ice dams, and water seepage are common sources of water damage, and can provide the necessary moisture to encourage fungal growth. AQS consultants are experts in identification of moisture sources and water damage. We can provide recommendations for engineering controls to stop your water problem at the source, and prevent additional water problems and water damage.

• Sick Building Assessments

Do your employees or your family members complain of acute discomfort from headaches, eye, nose, or throat irritation, dry cough, dry or itchy skin, dizziness and nausea, difficulty in concentrating, fatigue, or sensitivity to odors? These are all common complaints associated with Sick Building Syndrome (SBS). AQS has experts who can diagnose whether or not your building is causing these symptoms, and we can provide you with a prescription for a cure.

• HVAC and Mechanical System Evaluations

The air you breathe passes through the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of your home or facility. Have you looked inside? Would you know what you were seeing, and how it is effecting the health of those who pass through your door? We can inspect your HVAC system for you, and we have the specialized knowledge to assess if there are problems which need to be addressed. We acn give you recommendations on how to address problems as they are identified.

• Employee Complaint Assessments and Interviews

Your staff is an invaluable resource for identifying air quality issues in your facility. Our friendly and courteous staff will interview your empoyees to identify red flags such as musty or pungent odors, observed mold, and water damaged building materials which are often the first clues that an air quality problem exists.

• Moisture Meter Testing

Moisture seepage and leaking or weeping pipes can damage building materials, in addition to enabling mold and fungal growth. Without drilling holes into your wall to see what is in the wall cavity, can you tell if there is moisture damaging your sheetrock? AQS technicians apply the most up to date methods for measuring moisture content in building materials. We can help you identify a problem, before it becomes a problem.

• Mycotoxin and Endotoxin Testing

Mycotoxins and endotoxins are byproducts of fungal growth that may be harmful or potentially fatal. AQS technicians are specially trained to sample surfaces for the presence of these toxins. 

• Bacterial Contamination and Sewage Effluent Studies

Sewage line breaks happen. AQS experts can walk you through every step of the clean up process, from identifying what surfaces need to be cleaned, through remediation, to final sampling required for reoccupation of contaminated areas.
