Indoor Air Quality Testing
Chicago's finest Indoor Air Quality Testing services
Energy-efficient homes are a win for the utility bill but a challenge for your lungs. In the modern, airtight homes of the Chicagoland region, indoor air can be 5x more polluted than the air in Grant Park. At Valor, we provide the military-grade intel you need to identify hidden toxins before they impact your family’s well-being.

THE "AIRTIGHT" TRAP OF MODERN HOMES
While today’s construction is built to stay warm, it often traps contaminants that have nowhere to go. We look for the “invisible enemies” that traditional inspectors miss.
- Stagnant Air Flow: Energy-efficient seals that trap stale, recycled air.
- Basement Moisture Seepage: Chicago’s high humidity triggering hidden mold growth.
- VOC Concentration: Chemical off-gassing from new flooring, cabinetry, and finishes.
- Fine Particulate Load: Microscopic dust and allergens that bypass standard HVAC filters.
YOUR DATA-DRIVEN AIR Quality AUDIT
We don’t just perform a “sniff test.” Our audit is a comprehensive tactical sweep of your home’s environment. We map the molecular signature of your living space to provide a clear, actionable health report.
- Baseline Outdoor Sampling: Comparing your indoor air to local Chicago ambient air.
- Zonal Mapping: Testing specific “high-risk” areas like basements and kitchens.
- Source Verification: Tracking moisture trails back to the foundation or roof.
- Remediation Blueprint: Giving you the exact data needed to hire a specialist with confidence.

FAQ
A standard air audit takes about 60 to 90 minutes on-site. However, our BREEZE ET Radon monitors require a 48-hour "dwell time" to capture a statistically significant data set of your home's air.
Yes. Through our partnership with InspectorLab, we provide DNA-level identification. This allows us to distinguish between common "nuisance" molds and dangerous species like Stachybotrys (Black Mold).
Absolutely. Builders often dismiss "musty smells" as normal settling. A Valor report provides the lab-certified proof that an environmental issue exists, forcing the builder to address the root cause under your 11-month warranty.
