Indoor Air Quality Testing in Nashville & Middle Tennessee

At SP&D Home Inspections, our indoor air quality testing identifies airborne contaminants that can impact both your health and your home. Many indoor air problems cannot be seen or smelled, making professional testing essential for families, buyers, and homeowners.

Homes throughout Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, and Middle Tennessee often contain elevated levels of allergens, mold spores, and pollutants due to humidity, ventilation issues, and building materials.

What Is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the cleanliness and safety of the air inside your home. Poor IAQ can cause headaches, allergies, asthma symptoms, fatigue, and long-term respiratory issues.

Sources of indoor air pollution include mold spores, dust, pet dander, chemical off-gassing, smoke, and moisture-related contaminants.

When to Test Indoor Air Quality

• Persistent allergies, coughing, or respiratory irritation
• Musty or stale odors
• Visible mold or moisture problems
• Before buying or selling a home
• After water damage or renovations

How SP&D Performs Air Quality Testing

We collect air samples and analyze them to identify airborne mold spores, allergens, and particulate matter. Results are compared to outdoor samples to determine whether the home has elevated contamination levels.

• Indoor and outdoor air sampling
• Professional laboratory analysis
• Clear written reports
• Guidance on correcting air quality issues

Understanding Your Results

Your air quality report will show the types and concentration of airborne contaminants present. If elevated levels are detected, we explain what they mean and how they can be corrected through cleaning, ventilation improvements, or remediation.
