Gatineau Air Quality Testing
Are you having allergy-like symptoms while you are at home, but uncertain why?
An air quality test is the first step toward being certain of the problem so that it can be fixed. It could be as simple as changing a filter, but it may be an underlying moisture problem allowing mold and bacteria to grow.
If you are worried that asbestos is contaminating the air in your home, an air quality test lets you be certain. We will show you the way toward removing these materials safely.

What Gatineau Homeowners Say
Real feedback from recent Gatineau-area inspections
"Bought a 1960s semi in Old Hull and the basement always smelled off after heavy rain. The inspector traced it to hidden mold behind the drywall near the foundation — lab results confirmed Penicillium and Aspergillus within two days. Clear report, no pressure to use any specific remediation company."
"We bought an older home near the Aylmer Marina and needed asbestos testing before gutting the kitchen. They sampled vinyl flooring, ceiling textures, and pipe insulation — clear written report in 48 hours. Saved us from a very expensive mistake during demolition."
"My son's allergies were miserable all winter and we couldn't figure out the trigger. The IAQA-certified inspector found elevated mold spores and VOCs in his bedroom from a slow leak above the ceiling. Honest, professional, and the report was detailed enough to hand to our doctor."
"Needed independent clearance testing after our remediation contractor finished a basement job. Exactly what we needed — third-party verification for the insurance claim. Defensible written report, turned around quickly, no nonsense. Would absolutely use again."

Mold Testing in Gatineau
Gatineau’s older housing stock — particularly in Hull, Old Aylmer, and neighbourhoods along the Ottawa River — is prone to hidden mold from seasonal moisture. Spring snowmelt, humid summers, and heating-system condensation in winter all create conditions where mold can grow inside walls, basements, and crawlspaces long before visible signs appear.
Our certified inspectors perform air sampling, surface sampling, and moisture mapping to identify mold colonies you can’t see. Every sample is lab-analyzed for species identification and spore counts — so you know exactly what you’re dealing with. Learn more about our mold testing services or call 1-866-528-2897 to schedule a Gatineau mold inspection.
