Comprehensive Healthy Home Assessment

An Industry-Leading Comprehensive Assessment from SENERGY360, LLC

The Healthy Home Assessment is one of our most popular services. We provide you with the resources and knowledge necessary to create a healthy home environment.

• Our assessments typically take one to two days depending on the complexities,
  involvement, and the size of the project. Our on-site assessment provides in-depth insights from a Building Biologist perspective, covering everything from rooftop to foundation.
• In our assessment, we conduct basic measurements of on-site EMF conditions and mold sampling, along with indoor air quality (IAQ) measurements, including total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) and formaldehyde.
• The EMR/EMF and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) aspects within the Healthy Home Assessment scope are presented as an overview only. This part of the assessment helps identify potential short and long-term issues, pinpointing premature failures or anything that may pose potential adverse health effects for our clients. These are opportunitiesfor further review.
• This comprehensive assessment includes recommendations outlined in our Healthy Home Assessment Checklist below (This is a one- time onsite inspection for each project.
• We offer extended support beyond the assessments. Our clients will have the
  opportunity to retain our services to provide our exclusive Healthy Protocols and Material Recommendations (HPMR).
• For clients just looking for specific inspections we also offer EMRS and Environmental Indoor Air Quality and Mold Assessments separately.

All assessments may require a minimum of two (2) night stay hotel accommodations. Please review travel policy.
