New construction, fresh cabinetry, flooring, and paint can off-gas VOCs and formaldehyde for months after move-in. We measure indoor air quality and help identify the source.
New-construction homes, recent remodels, and new cabinetry, flooring, or paint can all off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde for weeks or months after installation. Arizona's tightly sealed, energy-efficient homes reduce natural air exchange, which can trap these compounds indoors rather than letting them dissipate - and occupants sometimes notice odors, headaches, or respiratory irritation without an obvious cause.
We measure total VOCs and formaldehyde with canister or badge-based air sampling analyzed by a laboratory, paired with on-site instrument readings for CO2, humidity, and particulate levels. Together, these measurements help identify whether an indoor air quality concern is tied to off-gassing materials, ventilation, or another environmental factor.
Initial testing includes TVOC and formaldehyde air sampling (canister or badge-based) submitted to a laboratory for analysis, combined with on-site instrument readings for CO2, relative humidity, and particulate matter - identifying both chemical off-gassing sources and ventilation-related air quality issues.
After off-gassing sources are removed or replaced, or ventilation is corrected, we perform a post-mitigation retest of TVOC, formaldehyde, and related indoor air parameters to confirm levels have declined to a range consistent with normal occupancy.
New cabinetry, flooring adhesives, paint, and engineered wood products all off-gas VOCs at their highest rate in the first weeks after installation. Testing before or shortly after move-in gives you a data-based answer instead of guessing whether an odor or symptom is related to indoor air quality.

Our technician collects air, surface, dust-wipe, or paint-chip samples on-site, following accredited sampling protocols for your service.
Every sample is submitted to an accredited environmental laboratory for analysis - we don't estimate, we test.

Arizona's energy-efficient, tightly sealed new construction reduces natural air exchange, which can concentrate VOCs and formaldehyde from new cabinetry, flooring, and paint indoors instead of allowing them to vent out - a tradeoff between energy efficiency and indoor air quality that's easy to overlook.
