Wildfire Testing Services
Protect Your Home and Health After Wildfires
Wildfires release harmful gases and particles, such as carbon monoxide (CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), asbestos, ash, and carbon black/soot from burning structures. Additionally, burning materials can release toxic heavy metals into the surrounding environment, contaminating soil and air. These contaminants pose serious health risks and can severely impact indoor air quality, making professional testing essential to ensure safety and cleanliness.
How Wildfires Affect Your Property
Wildfires cause visible and invisible damage:
Ash, soot, and char settle on surfaces.
Gases like carbon monoxide, VOCs, and formaldehyde linger in the air.
Pollutants can:
Contaminate surfaces and building materials.
Enter HVAC systems, reducing indoor air quality.
Increase respiratory and health risks for occupants.
Why Testing Is Important
Health Risks: Wildfire pollutants like VOCs, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide can cause respiratory problems, fatigue, and headaches.
Property Safety: Ash, soot/carbon black, and other residues can damage surfaces and air systems, requiring remediation.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with health and safety standards for residential and commercial properties.
