Indoor air quality during and after disaster cleanup is a very important part of the complete remediation process. Providing healthy indoor air quality during the restoration process protects the safety of the contractors and others working on the job site. Indoor air quality testing can reveal levels of hazardous microbes produced as a result of the damage. Testing can also reveal pathogenic microbiological organisms growing and thriving on the damaged and adjacent areas. A person exposed to this type of hazard can become very ill. Preliminary testing can minimize the exposure.

Indoor Air Quality testing during remediation can assure that adequate remediation is being completed. From this information, we can determine the best remediation technique. For example, ozone and certain biocidal chemicals may work very well on certain fungal organisms but may not attack any bacterial organisms. On the other hand, the same may apply when treating bacterial organisms. Some organisms thrive on oxygen and can become airborne, hence normal treatment of surfaces may not remove them. They may multiply and make the situation worse, and even spread to non-damaged areas.

Indoor Air Quality testing after remediation can assure that the effort was successful, and that the area is safe for occupancy. Post-testing coupled with an Indoor Air Quality Management Program can also reduce the chances of recontamination and exposure to future problems. A full spore report will be available within 3 business days after sampling. Other tests, such as contact, swab, and Anderson Tests (cultures), require 7-10 business days.
