Indoor Allergen Sampling San Clemente – when allergies don't make sense

If allergies are worse at home than anywhere else, the air inside your house might be part of the problem.

Indoor allergen sampling in San Clemente helps identify specific triggers in your indoor environment so you can take targeted action.

Indoor Allergen Sampling

Indoor allergen sampling tests for common airborne and settled allergens:

Mold spores
Dust mite allergens
Pet dander
Pollen particles
Other particulate matter

We collect samples from air and surfaces, then compare results to established thresholds.

Home Inspector

As a home inspector, we look beyond the lab results. We inspect conditions that contribute to allergen buildup:

Ventilation quality
Humidity levels
HVAC filter condition
Carpet and upholstery dust
Moisture sources that feed mold

Understanding the environment helps explain the results.

Quick checks you can do today

These are simple checks that help you decide what to do next:

Look under sinks with a flashlight. Check the back corners.
Touch baseboards near bathrooms and kitchens. Soft or swollen is a clue.
Check window tracks for water, especially in the morning.
Run the bathroom fan. Hold a tissue up to the grille. It should stick.
If you have an AC closet, look for water marks around the drain pan area.

If you find water or staining, don't ignore it. Small leaks turn into bigger issues.
