Breathing clean, healthy air indoors is something many people don’t think about until there’s a problem.
Our Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) testing helps uncover hidden issues like mold, radon, asbestos, carbon monoxide, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that could be affecting your health and comfort.
And we make the process simple and stress-free, so you can feel confident about the air in your home or workplace.
We also offer fast appointments and dependable service, and our experienced team takes the time to explain what we find in clear, easy-to-understand terms.
No technical talk, just straightforward results you can trust, whether you’re worried about allergies, moisture problems in your HVAC system, or air quality before moving into a new space.
What really sets us apart is the way we guide you through every step.
After testing, we’ll share what the results mean and give you practical advice for making your air healthier and safer.
It’s about more than just numbers on a page: it’s about giving you peace of mind and a healthier space to live or work in.

Many homes built before 1980 contain asbestos in old floor tiles, ceiling tiles, roof shingles and flashing, siding, insulation (around boilers, ducts, pipes, sheeting, fireplaces), pipe cement, and joint compound used on seams between pieces of sheetrock.
This material becomes a personal health hazard when it is airborne and can even damage your home.
A visual inspection of your home is usually not sufficient to determine if it contains asbestos. Instead, samples of suspected asbestos fibers should be sent to a certified laboratory for analysis.
Clearview Home & Property inspections are qualified to extract samples to facilitate this stage of the process.
The method used for dealing with asbestos in the home depends upon where the asbestos is found, the condition of the material, and whether it is friable or non–friable. Friable asbestos can be easily crumbled or reduced to a powder and can become airborne. Non–friable asbestos is more tightly bound with another material and its fibers cannot easily be made airborne unless they are sanded, cut, or sawed.
If the containing material is currently in good condition and contained such that fibers cannot be released, then it may not be dangerous at this time. However, the situation should be monitored for signs of its deterioration and damage.
Removal is the only permanent solution to the problem in your home. However, removal poses a high risk of fiber release if not done properly. Air samples should be taken after the work is completed to ensure the safety of the homeowner.
You sneeze, cough, maybe even wheeze, but you aren’t sure why. Your house seems clean and you don’t see any would-be culprits in the air. What then could be causing your allergy attacks?
Allergens are substances that for some people trigger an allergic response and promote formation of antibodies.
Allergens may occur in nature or be manmade and can include pollen, mold spores, dust, animal dander, insect debris, foods, blood serum, and even drugs.
Most people with allergies such as hay-fever or other outdoor allergies – usually don’t think of their home as a source of their allergies.
But the inside of your home can be filled with allergens, making these substances impossible to avoid.
Testing your air for allergens and pollutants is a good start.
The process is very straight forward: we schedule an appointment to visit your home and take samples to an accredited lab for testing results.
Radon is a radioactive gas that is colourless, odourless and tasteless and is formed by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and groundwater.
There are health risks associated with exposure to radon gas, which is now the second leading cause of lung cancer.
According to Health Canada, the acceptable level of Radon gas has been reduced from 800 Bq/m³ to the new level of 200 Bq/m³.
Action to reduce the radon level should be taken in a home whenever the average annual radon concentration exceeds 200 Bq/m³ and the radon level should be reduced to a value as low as practicable.
At Clearview Home & Property inspections, we have certified radon measurement professionals than can test your home for Radon gas.
We abide by Health Canada guidelines which recognizes the Canadian certification program, Canadian National Radon Proficiency Program (C-NRPP) offered through the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST).
When radon is confined to enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, it can accumulate to high levels.
Radon levels are generally highest in basements and crawl spaces because these areas are nearest to the source and are usually poorly ventilated.
In the open air, the amount of radon gas is very small and does not pose a health risk.
If your home tests above the recommended guideline, it is recommended that you hire a certified radon professional to determine the best and most cost effective way to reduce the radon level in your home.
The most common radon reduction method is called “Sub-Slab Depressurization”, where a pipe is installed through the basement sub-flooring to an outside wall (or up through to the roof line) with a small fan attached which draws the radon from below the house to the outside before it can enter your home.
This type of system can reduce the radon level in a home by over 90%.
Studies have shown that the level of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) indoors is generally two to five times higher than the level of VOC’s outdoors.
VOCs, commonly referred to as “off-gases”, are emitted from certain solids or liquids.
VOC concentrations in indoor air depend on many factors, including the:
In the indoor environment, VOCs can be released by sources such as furniture, paint, adhesives, solvents, upholstery, draperies, carpeting, spray cans, clothing, construction materials, cleaning compounds, deodorizers, copy machine toners, felt-tip markers, pens and correction fluids.
Concentrations of many VOCs emitted indoors are generally higher than outdoor concentrations because of the presence of indoor sources such as building materials, consumer and commercial product use and human activities such as cooking.
For VOC gas, the risk of health effects from inhaling any chemical depends on how much is in the air, how long and how often a person breathes it in.
Eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches, loss of coordination, nausea; damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous system.
We can perform non invasive testing for VOCs at your property.
Our VOC testing involves the use of a TO-15 passive canister system, which involves using vacuum pressure in the canister and a flow regulator to extract the sample and runs for 1 hour.
The air samples are taken to a lab and the results for this test (which generally takes 5 business days) will be compiled for your review.
