At Quality Home Inspections, we know that your home’s air quality is vital to the health and comfort of your family. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is something many homeowners overlook until it affects their well-being. We offer comprehensive IAQ inspections throughout Delaware, helping homeowners ensure that their indoor air is clean, fresh, and free from harmful contaminants.
It’s surprising, but indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air. In fact, the concentration of pollutants inside your home can be up to five times higher than the air outside. The effects of poor air quality are often hidden, but they can lead to serious health problems, especially for children, the elderly, and people with asthma or allergies.
Common sources of indoor air pollution include:
Mold and mildew due to humidity and leaks.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in paints, furniture, and cleaning products.
Toxic gases, such as radon and carbon monoxide.
By identifying these risks early, you can protect your family’s health and create a safer, more comfortable living environment.
Ted Hinderer, Owner and Lead Inspector of Quality Home Inspections, shares, “Many homeowners don’t realize how much their indoor air quality can impact their health. Our IAQ inspections not only help identify hidden dangers but also provide peace of mind that you’re breathing safe, clean air.”
We take a detailed approach to assessing the indoor air quality of your home. Here’s how we help:
Common sources of indoor air pollution include:
Delaware’s climate can contribute to moisture problems, especially in basements and attics. We measure humidity levels and identify potential mold or mildew risks to help you avoid costly water damage.
Mold is often hidden behind walls or under floors, making it hard to detect. Our team uses specialized tools to find mold growth and moisture problems that could be affecting your IAQ.
Harmful gases like radon and carbon monoxide can enter your home without you even knowing. We test for these dangerous gases, ensuring your home is free from invisible threats. We also check for VOCs in products like paints and cleaning supplies.

There are a few signs that your home’s air quality might need attention:
Persistent Odors: Musty, stale, or chemical smells can indicate poor ventilation or hidden mold.
Health Issues: Frequent allergy flare-ups, coughs, and headaches could be signs of contaminated indoor air.
Visible Mold: Mold growth is often a red flag for high humidity or water leaks in your home.
Condensation: Dampness on windows, walls, or ceilings is a sign that moisture levels are too high, potentially leading to mold or mildew.
If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule an inspection with Quality Home Inspections. Our professional team will identify the sources of poor air quality and provide you with a thorough report and actionable solutions.
I had a great home inspection experience with Josh for the purchase of my first home. Quality Home Inspections came highly recommended by my realtor, and I was more than satisfied with the entire process. Scheduling was simple and convenient, and Josh was friendly, thorough, and took the time to explain things to me in detail that I was not familiar with as a first time homebuyer. Josh made me feel at ease throughout the inspection process, and the final written report made it easy for me to understand what areas should be prioritized before move in and what areas should be monitored going forward. I would not hesitate to recommend Josh and Quality Home Inspections to friends and family! Thanks again.” — Review by Kaley Walker
