My experience with these is limited. They may be good but I don’t trust anything I can’t verify when it comes to IAQ (and other stuff). IEPs indoor environmental professionals aka industrial hygienists do tape lift testing, swab tests, air cassettes via air pump and material testing if needed. My go to has always been call a professional if it’s justified (possibly a sensitivity). Sensitivity to IAQ issues are a real thing (so don’t make that mistake 😅). A lab report gives an industrial hygienist something to build a scope of work for. From there I would take their scope and complete the work, and if the client wanted to get a PRV (post remediation verification) we would make sure the job is cleaned exactly to spec. PRV clearance testing is at the owner’s expense so, it’s not cheap to get all the work done and clear the job. My view has always been: let the client know the costs up front of different ways to approach, and save money on testing to go toward remediation if it’s known that will be needed. Knowing that up front helped them decide which way was best for them to proceed. Future prevention was my favorite conversation. “ An ounce of prevention”, per se. That’s another conversation. For another day Grace and peace
