Get an environmental quality inspection of your building

Let's create together a living environment that supports your health and that of your family!

We offer the following:

Inadequate ventilation combined with significant sources of pollution can quickly create conditions thar can generate unpleasant symptoms as well as contributing to the onset of disease.

By measuring temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), total volatile organic compounds and radon over a few days, it becomes possible to know the quality of the air in a home and define possible strategies to improve it if necessary.

Whether the building is equipped with natural or mechanical ventilation, very often the ventilation is not adequate to treat all the pollutants present. The optimal strategy is to prevent the emission of pollutants at the source and also to ensure good ventilation. There are several strategies beyond the classic “air exchanger” that can help ventilate a building effectively.

An indoor air quality inspection also includes the following analyses:

Water quality

Municipal tap water contains several undesirable contaminants that can influence health in the short and long term.
The quality of the water in a well must be regularly monitored. Undesirable contaminants are often found well water as well.
Water filtration is one of the strategies to consider for creating the healthiest living space possible. Depending on your situation, several strategies are possible. We can guide you to make the best choice in your condition.

Building quality and mold

Deficiency of certain building elements can cause poor indoor environmental conditions. Sick Building Syndrome is a well-known phenomenon. When the appearance of symptoms is clearly linked to a particular place, and the symptoms disappear when leaving the place, there must be a cause at the source of these symptoms. It is then a question of inspecting the building as a whole, identifying the triggers, and implementing solutions in order to eliminate the sources of pollution. Molds can poison the body and create acute symptoms. Sometimes obvious, mold is often hidden and difficult to see. With proper testing, our inspection can direct you to the right solution to fix the problem. In the event of damage, we can accompany you with the other building professionals you choose to ensure that the remediation will be carried out according to the rules of the art.
We can perform the necessary tests to prove mold contamination if a contentious situation requires it.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Inspection

Detect, Measure, Mitigate

EMF Meter # ME3851A: For Basic EMF Detection Purposes

The inspection will allow you to see what you are exposed to and what are the safe limits proposed by building biology.

This assessment makes the invisible visible andconsists of identifying and measuring, using professional instruments, the 4 main sources ofelectro-pollution:

1. Pulsed radio frequencies

Cell phone towers and antennas on buildings, cell phones, new generation electric meters (smart meters), Wi-Fi routers, home cordless phones, tablets, computers, alarm systems, baby monitors, smart TV, home appliances, cars, watches, etc.

2. Electric fields

Electrical wiring in walls, floor and ceilings, electronic devices, lamps, light fixtures, appliances.

3. Magnetic fields

Electrical wiring error, street power lines and transformers, your home's electrical panel and meter, electric motors, adapters, stray voltages on the plumbing.

4. Electrical pollution

Energy-saving light bulbs (compact fluorescent, LED), light dimmer, energy-saving appliances and electronics, and variable-speed motors.

The inspection pays particular attention to sensitive areas in your living environment, including the place where you sleep. During the hours of sleep our body rests and detoxifies. It is therefore important to keep this place as healthy as possible. Most of us use a computer for several hours a day. Our computer emits different types of electromagnetic fields. It is important, through simple and effective measures, to reduce our exposure to these fields as much as possible.

It is possible to act either by avoiding exposure, or by making modifications that will make it possible to significantly reduce the impacts of wireless technologies. An "electromagnetic cleaning" is possible so that everyone becomes an actor and a decision-maker in their environment. The notions of distance and duration of exposure are essential.

The inspection includes a detailed report of our findings as well as the most efficient and cost effective solutions to minimize the issues identified.

Why do an inspection?

Geobiological study

Geobiology is a discipline which studies the relationships between natural and artificial environments, constructions and lifestyle with all living elements.

A geobiologist assesses the characteristics of a place, the factors that influence the well-being and hygiene of the environment, formulates recommendations and implements, if necessary, means to preserve or improve the well-being of the occupants. To do this, he uses tools such as investigation, observation, maintenance, bio-sensitive detection and scientific measurement.

Inspection of an existing building

Man,Using,Stethoscope,With,House,Show,Home,Inspection,Or,Check

For an existing home, the ideal solution is to book an on-site inspection. You can choose to start either with a basic IAQ or EMF inspection or a combined IAQ and EMF inspection. It is also possible to plan for a customized inspection focused on your most pressing needs.

We work primarily in the Greater Montreal area and can travel anywhere in Quebec and North America.

Remote assessment

Zoom-vs-WebEx-7_7c4a12eb7455b3a1ce1ef1cadcf29289

I offer remote electromagnetic inspection nationally and internationally by phone, email and videoconference.

Learn more

The assessment of air, water and building quality generally requires an on-site visit, although it is possible on occasion to resolve certain problems remotely.

For a whole house remote electromagnetic assessment, the client sends the plans or a sketch of the house and photos. He will be advised towards the purchase or rental of measuring instruments at an affordable price in order to take readings of electromagnetic fields and radio frequencies and to help develop a mitigation plan.

The basic consultation lasts three hours. It includes a discussion to prepare for data collection, a data analysis and remediation meeting, and follow-up email and phone support for additional questions.

New home design

I can guide you at each step of the process, whether it is about choosing the land, carrying out a geobiological study, providing support to integrate passive solar design, energy modeling to optimize energy efficiency and comfort, as well as support in choosing healthy and ecological materials and construction methods.

A new construction requires a great deal of involvement and gives you the opportunity to do things meticulously and with purpose. I can accompany you in this process, inform you of the advantages and disadvantages of different solutions, so that you will be well positioned to make the best decisions according to your own situation.

Pre-purchase / rental evaluation

Are you planning to buy or rent a house/apartment and want to ensure that its environment is safe?

Learn more

We can carry out a pre-purchase evaluation with special attention to air quality, mold, presence of lead pipes, and the impact of the presence of a high voltage power line, cell tower or electrical system issues.

Cette évaluation peut se faire en personne sur la propriété convoitée ou nous pouvons vous accompagner à distance et vous former afin que vous pussiez prendre les mesures importantes vous-même.

Inspection des tensions parasites d'un bâtiment agricole

Au Canada, les réseaux de distribution électrique sont conçus
pour que le courant de neutre retourne au poste de distribution à la fois par le fil neutre du réseau ainsi que le sol.

Les tensions parasites sont causées par une différence de tension entre deux points susceptibles d’être touchés par un animal et qui occasionne une circulation de courant qui peut affecter son comportement.
