What does a healthy home inspection from a board certified Indoor Environmentalist look like?

A healthy home inspection from a board-certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) typically involves a comprehensive assessment of the indoor environment to identify any potential hazards or issues that may impact human health and wellbeing. Here are some of the key areas that a CIE may evaluate during a healthy home inspection:

  1. Indoor air quality: This may involve testing for pollutants such as mold, allergens, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and carbon monoxide. The CIE may use specialized equipment such as air quality monitors, moisture meters, and thermal imaging cameras to identify potential sources of indoor air pollution.
  2. Ventilation: The CIE may assess the home’s ventilation systems and recommend improvements to ensure proper air exchange and reduce the buildup of pollutants. This may include evaluating the adequacy of exhaust fans, air filters, and ventilation ducts.
  3. Water quality: The CIE may test the home’s water supply for contaminants such as lead, bacteria, and other harmful substances. They may also assess the condition of pipes and plumbing fixtures to identify potential sources of contamination.
  4. Structural integrity: The CIE may inspect the home’s foundation, walls, roof, and other structural components for signs of damage, moisture intrusion, or other issues that may impact indoor air quality or pose safety hazards.
  5. Household products and materials: The CIE may evaluate the types of cleaning products, pesticides, and other household chemicals used in the home and recommend safer alternatives. They may also assess the condition of building materials such as flooring, insulation, and paint to identify potential sources of indoor air pollution.

Based on the findings of the inspection, the CIE may provide recommendations for remediation or mitigation measures to improve the health and safety of the indoor environment. These may include actions such as installing ventilation systems, repairing water damage, removing mold or other pollutants, and using safer household products.
