What the service covers

  • Pressed wood furniture and flooring

Service overview

What Is Formaldehyde and Why Should You Test for It?

Did you know that your wood cabinets, pressed wood furniture, and paints release harmful gases? Among these, formaldehyde is one of the most dangerous gases that you cannot see. However, it has a sharp vinegar or pickle-like smell that can irritate your nose, eyes, and throat even after short exposure.

But sometimes it can be there without a smell, making a workplace or home formaldehyde test necessary. Not going for a test means its levels will keep building up over time, and you won’t have a clue about it. Formaldehyde testing in Long Island tells you the level of HCHO in your indoor air, so you can do something about it before it gets out of hand.

Let our certified professionals test your property for formaldehyde.

When testing helps

Homes and Buildings That Need Formaldehyde Testing

Don’t let formaldehyde affect your home or workplace. Call us for a professional HCHO test in Long Island.

Newly Built Homes

Building materials like pressed wood and adhesives release high levels of formaldehyde in new homes. That's why it's important to get new homes tested for formaldehyde before moving in.

Homes With Poor Ventilation

When homes don't have a proper ventilation system, formaldehyde gets trapped inside. Not having fresh airflow means this gas will keep building up to dangerous levels.

Recently Renovated Properties

Did you recently renovate your home or office? New materials like flooring, paint, and furniture can release formaldehyde into your indoor air.

Office Buildings

Materials like insulation, adhesives, and laminates in office buildings release formaldehyde that can be harmful to you and your staff. Therefore, you need a formaldehyde air test to keep the work environment safe.

Healthcare Facilities

Do you manage a clinic or hospital? High formaldehyde levels in healthcare facilities can put your patients and staff at risk, making a regular formaldehyde check important.
