What should you be checking for at home?

The hazards worth watching depend a lot on when your home was built and how it's set up. Answer a few questions for a personalized list — and a straight, no-upsell take on what's worth testing.

What year was your home built? (a rough estimate is fine)

Which of these apply? (check any)

Gas appliances, furnace, or a fireplace Attached garage Basement or crawlspace Renovated or new furniture/flooring in the last 2 years Past water damage, leaks, or a musty smell

Want the air-quality side handled in one visit?

This is general educational guidance based on typical building practices, not a home inspection. Age ranges are rules of thumb — the only way to know what's actually in your home is to test. IllumenAir is certified for lead and asbestos in addition to air quality, so we're glad to talk those through too; and because we don't do remediation, our findings are unbiased.
