Pre Purchase Testing
While a traditional home inspection focuses on structural and mechanical issues, it does not assess the environmental health of the property. Our Pre-Purchase Healthy Home Assessment fills that gap by evaluating the invisible factors that can significantly impact your well-being, comfort, and future renovation costs.
This comprehensive service combines multiple Building Biology disciplines into a single, streamlined inspection that covers EMF exposure, indoor air quality, water quality, moisture and mold risks, and general environmental stressors. Using advanced instrumentation and Building Biology standards, we identify issues early—before you commit to a property with hidden and expensive problems.
Our assessment includes:
-
EMF Testing: Evaluation of electric fields, magnetic fields, radiofrequency sources (Wi-Fi, neighbors, towers, smart meters), and dirty electricity levels to determine whether the home supports a low-EMF living environment.
-
Air Quality Review: Screening for VOCs, particulates, combustion byproducts, ventilation deficits, humidity imbalances, and conditions that indicate possible mold issues.
-
Moisture & Mold Risk Assessment: Inspection of building envelope weaknesses, roof and gutter performance, foundation drainage, bathroom and kitchen ventilation, and any visible or hidden moisture concerns that could lead to mold.
-
Water Quality Check: Analysis of incoming water for contaminants, disinfectants, hardness, sediment, and plumbing-related concerns to help you plan for filtration or treatment needs.
-
Environmental Red Flags: Identification of chemical sources, aging materials, improper remodeling work, poor HVAC design, or construction shortcuts that may compromise long-term health.
