At Arrow Inspections, we’re always looking for ways to bring more value, knowledge, and peace of mind to homeowners and home buyers across Calgary, Airdrie, Chestermere, Cochrane, Strathmore, Carstairs, Crossfield, Olds, Mountain View County, Rocky View County, Water Valley, Cremona, and Sundre.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that we now offer full Mold Inspections as a stand-alone service and Air Quality Testing as a stand-alone service or as add-on to your home inspection.
Indoor air quality is something that most homeowners don’t think about until there’s a problem — but the truth is, issues like mold spores, moisture intrusion, VOCs, and airborne irritants can be hidden long before signs show up on walls or ceilings. Our new testing services help you identify concerns early so you can protect your home, your investment, and your well-being.
Why Mold Testing Matters for Homeowners and Buyers
Mold can grow in hidden places long before it becomes visible or produces an odor. Basements, attics, crawlspaces, bathrooms, and areas around plumbing or previous leaks are especially prone to issues in Alberta homes.
Here’s why mold testing is worth considering:
1. Mold is often hidden — even in clean homes
Moisture behind walls or under flooring can lead to mold growth long before anything looks wrong. Air and surface testing can detect spores that your eyes can’t see.
2. Early detection prevents costly repairs
Catching mold early can help you address moisture issues before they spread, saving you thousands in remediation down the road.
3. It provides clarity during real estate transactions
For buyers, knowing whether a home has elevated spore levels is important for negotiations and decision-making.
For sellers, mold testing offers reassurance and eliminates surprises during the buyer’s inspection.
4. Alberta’s climate is tough on homes
Freeze-thaw cycles, humidity swings, and long winters can all contribute to moisture buildup — which often leads to mold growth if not caught early.
Why Indoor Air Quality Testing Is Just as Important
Air quality is one of the most overlooked aspects of a home, yet it affects your comfort every single day. Our air quality sampling services help detect:
- Mold spores in the air
- VOCs (from paint, flooring, adhesives, and new materials)
- Allergens and particulates
- Moisture-related contaminants
- Potential irritants affecting breathing comfort
1. Air quality issues are invisible
You can’t always see or smell the contaminants that affect your indoor environment. Testing brings clarity to what you’re actually breathing.
2. Ideal for new builds and renovations
New materials often release VOCs for months. Air testing helps determine whether your home needs better ventilation or mitigation.
3. Better for families, children, and pets
If anyone in your home experiences allergies, sensitivities, or unexplained discomfort, testing can help identify the cause.
4. Perfect for peace of mind when buying a home
Air quality sampling helps ensure the home you’re about to purchase is safe, comfortable, and free from hidden air concerns.
