Introducing Chicago Inspection Agency
Indoor Air Quality Services
Whether buying, selling or staying in your
home, indoor air quality is a source of
concern.
According to
the EPA "Indoor air is found to be up to 70
times more polluted than outdoor air." It's
no surprise then, that the rise of asthma,
allergies, respiratory ailments, and even cancer are results of
exposure to the air we breathe in our own
homes (see chart).
Chicago
Inspection Agency has designed a program to
test for and then fix air quality problems.
First, we test your home for Lead, Mold, and
Radon (for details, see
additional tests). After discussing the
results with you, we will suggest options
for permanent remediation. Then we design a
program specifically for your home using
filtering solutions with advanced furnace
air filters from CorrectFilters™.
The
CorrectFilters™
system provides unsurpassed protection against
bacteria, fungi, algae, mold, dust mites,
radon, and helps eliminate odors.
