Allergy Inspection

What is Allergy Inspection?

An allergy inspection looks at a home through the lens of what a sensitized occupant is actually breathing. Standard inspections find building defects; an allergy inspection connects those defects to indoor-air allergen load — mold and its spores, accumulated dust in ductwork and carpet, dander reservoirs, and the humidity and ventilation conditions that let allergens build up. We assess moisture-prone areas, the HVAC system and ductwork, filtration, and ventilation, and we take allergen-aware air samples analyzed by an independent accredited laboratory. Because A&A works with doctors and allergists, results are framed so you and your physician can act on them — which triggers to remove, which sources to fix, and which improvements (filtration, ventilation, humidity control) will actually move the needle. It is particularly useful for households where someone has unexplained or worsening respiratory or allergy symptoms at home.

When You Need It

When someone in the home has allergy or asthma symptoms that flare indoors, when symptoms improve away from the house and return on arrival, after a water event that may have seeded mold, before moving into an older home with a sensitized family member, or when a physician has asked what in the home environment might be a trigger. It also helps when generic air purifiers and over-the-counter remedies have not resolved symptoms and you need to find the actual source rather than mask it.

Signs to Watch For

• Allergy or asthma symptoms that flare indoors and ease when you leave
• A child or sensitized family member with unexplained respiratory symptoms
• Symptoms that began after a leak, flood, or HVAC change
• Persistent musty or stuffy air that air purifiers have not fixed
• A physician asked what in the home environment could be a trigger
• Visible dust loading from ductwork or a long-unserviced HVAC system
