Have you ever wondered what’s in the air you’re breathing inside your home? We tend to think of outdoor pollution as the major health culprit, but the real risk could be inside the very walls you call home. According to the EPA, Americans spend close to 80% of their lives indoors—and in places like Fort Mill, SC, that number can be even higher during extreme weather months. Yet, most homeowners don’t consider the quality of their indoor air until it’s already affecting their health.
Kals Inspection Services is led by Andrew Kallas, your certified home inspector with over 15 years of hands-on experience in mold inspections, mold remediation, water restoration, and indoor air quality control. Kals Inspection Services specializes in uncovering hidden threats in the very places you should feel safest—your home, or office. Let’s review the importance of indoor air quality testing, and why homeowners in and around Fort Mill, SC are turning to Kals Inspection Services for peace of mind.
What Is Indoor Air Quality Testing and Why Should I Care?
When you hear “air pollution,” you’re probably thinking of smog-filled highways—not your living room. But the truth is, poor air quality indoors can have a massive impact on your health, especially in homes with hidden moisture issues or mold growth. Indoor air quality (IAQ) testing is designed to uncover what’s really floating through the air you’re breathing.
During a typical air quality assessment, we identify levels of:
🔸 Mold spores
🔸 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
🔸 Dust, pollen, and other allergens
🔸 Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
🔸 Humidity levels and moisture concerns
If you’re experiencing issues like frequent sneezing, sinus infections, asthma flare-ups, or unexplained fatigue, your indoor environment could be contributing more than you think. If you live in Fort Mill, SC, or the surrounding areas, then your home is subjected to significant moisture and humidity, making it even more critical to know what’s in your air.

How Does Kals Inspection Perform Air Quality Testing?
A proper indoor air quality test should never be a quick in-and-out service. At Kals Inspection Services, each test includes a multi-layered approach to ensure every possible issue is uncovered.
Here’s what to expect:
🛠️ Thermal Imaging – Used to detect hidden leaks, poor insulation, or temperature anomalies behind walls and ceilings.
🛠️ Moisture Meter Readings – Moisture is mold’s best friend. We scan areas like basements, bathrooms, and crawlspaces for elevated moisture levels.
🛠️ Air Sampling – We take air samples from inside your home and send them to a certified lab to analyze for mold, allergens, and other airborne irritants.
🛠️ Visual Inspection – From HVAC systems to under-sink cabinets, we visually assess your home for visible signs of mold, water damage, or air flow issues.
🛠️ Detailed Report – You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report with lab results, photos, and recommendations for addressing any concerns.
It’s a full-spectrum analysis—not just guesswork. The goal is simple: identify the problem, explain the findings, and help you take the next step with confidence. Contact us to schedule your next inspection.
Why Is Mold So Dangerous—Even If I Can’t See It?
You don’t need to see black spots on your ceiling to have a mold problem. Mold often hides in walls, behind appliances, and inside ventilation systems. Even if it’s invisible to the eye, it can still trigger serious health concerns.
Common symptoms of mold exposure include:
☣️ Persistent sneezing, coughing, or sinus issues
☣️ Headaches and fatigue
☣️ Eye and throat irritation
☣️ Aggravated asthma or breathing difficulty
Some species, like Stachybotrys chartarum (a.k.a. toxic black mold), can release dangerous mycotoxins linked to neurological issues and long-term respiratory damage. With Kals Inspection Services, you’re not just getting a general home inspector—you’re getting someone who has worked extensively in mold remediation and air quality control. We know what to look for, where to find it, and how to explain it.
When Should I Consider Getting an Air Quality or Mold Test?
There are a few clear red flags that signal it’s time to schedule an air quality test:
🔹 You’re experiencing frequent respiratory issues, fatigue, or allergies at home
🔹 You notice musty smells you can’t seem to get rid of
🔹 You’ve recently had a leak, flood, or plumbing issue
🔹 You’re buying or moving into a new home
🔹 Your HVAC system is aging or hasn’t been serviced in years
🔹 You’ve had past mold problems and want peace of mind
Even if you’re not showing symptoms, it’s worth checking if your home has a history of water damage or hasn’t had a recent inspection. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of moisture exposure—and left untreated, it will only get worst.
What Makes Kals Inspection Services Different from Other Inspectors?
