• You are experiencing allergy type symptoms.
• Your or your children have developed asthma-like symptoms.
• You've bought a home in Atlanta and now you or other family members are experiencing allergy & asthma type symptoms.

Improperly sized or installed HVAC systems can adversely affect your indoor air quality. This may allow the relative humidity to be too high in your home attracting unwanted guests.

Allergen Testing

If you or other family members are experiencing allergy symptoms, your first though may be that it could be black mold or toxic mold but it may be due to allergies from dog or cat dander, dust mites, mouse or rat droppings, or cockroaches.

Studies are showing that dust mites can be just as likely to cause asthma as exposure to mold. High relative humidity in the home contributes to the presence of dust mites and cockroaches.

If you live in or are moving to Atlanta, we can perform allergen testing in the home you occupy or the one you are considering purchasing to determine if the home is affected by these allergy triggers.

Foreclosures can sit vacant for a long time and vermin may take up occupancy without anyone knowing it. 

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Many substances used in and around the home can be irritants if not used or stored properly. Items as simple as paints and varnishes, adhesives and household cleaners can contain chemicals that may be irritating to some people.

In addition to the above, if you have had treatment of your crawlspace or if you have hidden fungal growth in wall cavities, off-gassing may be taking place that can affect your indoor air quality but does not provide any visible evidence.

These gases are particularly difficult to identify and the testing for them can be expensive.

What should you do?

If items above apply to you, you should have an objective assessment of your home done by a certified inspector. Our inspectors are certified in multiple disciplines which allows them to thoroughly analyze your home for problems and causes. This also allows for a remediation protocol that ensures that the condition as well as the source are corrected.

Never allow a contractor or remediation company to perform the assessment as they may not be qualified to troubleshoot the problem or be able to determine the cause of the condition. More importantly, it creates an opportunity for conflict of interest for a company to do the assessment AND profit from the repair.

Why All-American Home Services?

Our team of certified inspectors allows us to not only assess whether you are suffering from a mold, bacteria, VOC or allergen problem but also determine the source of the problem to prevent it from re-occurring.

We will always use the least expensive and most commonly successful approaches first to ensure that we are always operating in your interests.

We have allergists, ENTs and pediatricians who refer their patients to us when they think mold or other contaminants may be a contributor to their condition.

What Happens Next?

We will conduct a short interview with you about the history of the home, perform a thorough evaluation of all areas of the home, interior and exterior, and perform testing of appropriate types in the home based on conditions disclosed or observed.

The samples are sent to an AIHA certified lab who will provide details about the contaminants present and whether they are in an elevated state.

What Do You Receive?

Once the lab results are received, We will provide a detailed report with pictures of deficiencies observed, suggested ways to correct the sources, the lab reports which will identify the contaminants found, and the remediation which detail what is to be done, where to do it and how to do it. This is to ensure that the problem is properly corrected.

We will provide the names of certified remediation companies who we have no affiliation with but have provided quality work for our clients in the past.
