Air quality in door

We bought and moved in to a home in fall 2016, and smelled strong odors. We contacted the company, and Shawn came in the next day. Luckily, he inspected the home before and knew the history. He gave us very practical advice and did not charge us at all. We were very satisfied with his service and professionalism.

Bad smells resolved

We had Shawn come out to our house to help determine where some musty smells were coning from and how to resolve them. We live in an older home that's had many small additions over the years. We had taken several steps to resolve the moisture issues in our home but were still getting the smells and it was really bothering us and impacting our lives, I didn't want to have anyone over to our house as I was embarrassed! Shawn was extremely knowledgeable, interesting to listen to, very personable, and I felt immediate relief having him here to diagnose our problem. He offered different solutions and advised us on what steps to take to resolve the problem and keep it from coming back. I only wish we had consulted him sooner! Do not hesitate to retain his services, well worth every cent!

Air Quality

We had some concerns about the air quality in our home. Shawn from IAQ came out to our place last yr and did an inspection of our home. He was very thorough and reassuring and gave us some tips to use. A yr later we had him back out to our place and he quickly recalled some of the issues we had and the steps we took to rectify. We would highly recommend IAQ to any of our friends.

IAQ air quality testing and consulting on next-steps

We had IAQ in to offer advice on basement odours, perform air quality testing, and consult on next steps. A year and a half later, we had Shawn back to get his advice on further work. We appreciated his ability to convey complex concepts in home construction and waterflow simply. The testing revealed that the air quality was not significantly impacted in the areas where we spent time, so that was relevant to me as I have respiratory conditions and allergies. He offered practical advice on how we could do much of the work on our own (we are NOT pros!), and also was a calming presence, and a corrective to our own reactions to continuing issues. When we had done much of this work and had him back, we really appreciated how he took the time to note this work, and move on from there with some additional pointers and longer term advice. I would strongly recommend IAQ for anyone in a new build or older home where water, odour, mustiness, or a faint funky smell is an issue!

Air quality inspection

We had Shawn from IAQ come to examine a prospective home purchase.

Shawn is extremely knowledgeable and was able to identify potential problems very rapidly. He is clearly a well educated individual who also has a good intuition for mechanistic aspects of his work. His report was non-alarmist and concise, and it helped identify a reasonable course of action to take.

I would highly recommend his services before a home purchase, especially for trickier homes - I learned a lot from the walk-through.

Top Notch Expertise!

We were just delighted with the excellent service provided by AIQ. The company came recommended to us by one of Canada's top mould specialists who provides guidelines on clean air for CHMC.

Mr. Rankin, of AIQ, is exceptionally knowledgeable in his field and yet he was able to explain, in clear, layman's terms, the issues at hand and the important steps needed to rectify them.

AIQ provides such an essential service. Thanks to the recommendations provided by Mr. Rankin, the air in our home is clean and healthy once more. We are all breathing much better now! We cannot recommend AIQ enough!

IAQ Inspection

Shawn came to our home to perform an IAQ assessment. He was very knowledgeable and thorough. He assessed each room on the main floor as well as the basement. He also took the time to look in our attic as well and did a walk about around the exterior of the home. His expertise and in-depth explanation of issues found and solutions to them, was quite welcoming. He was attentive to any questions I had, and would recommend his services to anyone.

Basement air quality and HVAC review

Shawn from IAQ came to the house to review the basement air quality and our HVAC system. He is extremely knowledgeable and new exactly what to look for. He made some immediate changes that really made a difference in our overall indoor quality. Highly recommend.

Thank you. I typically don't do adjustments on an HVAC system during an investigation, glad it worked out so well.

Basement mold and mice rescue

Shawn came to house and diagnosed moisture, found mold, and testing revealed millions of spores of grossness (I forget the technical names). I have allergy issues so was very happy to learn that situation could be fixed. Significant remediation work started right away, it was taken very seriously. Our air quality is drastically improved.
