Air quality testing Madison
Hear What Our Happy Customers Have To Say
For results-- my partner and I had recurring sinus infections that have gone away once treatment was completed. We've also both had less headaches."
I was completely ignorant about mold and when I found out we had a mold issue I was horrified and had no idea where to even begin. Pure Maintenance was recommended to me and I'm so glad as they made the process of mold remediation so straightforward and easy.
On her first visit, Courtney walked me through the science side of things and was able to accurately find and diagnose the source of our mold problem. I have a child with asthma so I was eager to act as quickly as possible--Courtney was able to squeeze us into her schedule the same week which was great for my peace of mind. She was able to treat our house in one day: we left home in the morning with a mold problem and returned home after work to a mold-free home.
And of course the science backs it up! Courtney shared detailed results of before and after treatment and the facts speak for themselves.
It can be so difficult to find professionals that you trust to do work in your home, especially with an issue as serious and delicate as mold remediation. I would absolutely recommend Courtney and Pure Maintenance without hesitation. They delivered the promised results quickly and without hassle which is the best I could ask for. Thanks again Pure Maintenance!"

Something's off in your home and you can feel it. Maybe it's congestion that won't quit, headaches that hit hardest after a long day inside, or a kid whose asthma keeps sliding backward for no reason that makes sense. Maybe your doctor has started asking about the house itself. You can't see what you're breathing, which makes this kind of problem almost impossible to fix on your own. We test your indoor air so you know what's actually in it, and you can stop guessing about what's making everyone feel worse.
When you need air quality testing
If someone in the house has respiratory problems that don't respond to medication, allergies that flare the second you walk through the door, or sinus pressure that never really clears, your air is a reasonable place to look. Waiting rarely helps. The source keeps releasing spores every day you put it off. Same story for new parents setting up a nursery, anyone with a compromised immune system, and people managing asthma or COPD who want a baseline while things are stable.
Non-health reasons count too. You just bought the house. You finished a renovation that opened up walls. There's a musty smell in the basement you can't track down. Madison makes all of this more likely than people think. Winters push warm indoor air into cold wall cavities where it condenses against the framing, ice dams force meltwater back up under shingles into attic decking, and then spring snowmelt sits against foundation walls for weeks. Summers aren't much kinder. Dew points in the 70s through stretches of July and August, full basements on heavy clay, and plenty of homes within a few blocks of Mendota or Monona where the water table is already pushing up. Biological growth inside walls and under floors is common around here, and it almost always shows up in the air long before it shows up anywhere you can see.
Our air quality testing process
We use Air-O-Cell cassettes, the standard tool in the indoor air quality industry. The cassette pulls a measured volume of air across a collection surface and traps mould spores, fragments, and other biological particles. We sample the rooms where you spend the most time or where symptoms feel worst, plus an outdoor sample for a baseline. Everything goes to an independent certified lab for microscope analysis. The lab identifies the mould by type and counts the spores, so you get real numbers broken down by room. Your report shows which areas are elevated and which ones are fine. Most tests take about an hour on site, and lab results come back within a few business days. This is lab data, not a reading off a thirty-dollar meter from Amazon, and you can hand it straight to your doctor or insurance company if you need to.
Air quality testing cost in Madison, WI
What you pay depends on how many rooms you want sampled. A focused test covering one or two problem areas plus an outdoor control is the cheapest option. A whole-home test that includes every bedroom, the main living spaces, the basement, and the attic costs more because there are more lab analyses to run. You'll get the full price before we collect a single sample, and that price is the price. No surprise fees, no add-ons at the end.
Why choose Pure Maintenance Wisconsin
We test to find out what's in your air, not to sell you remediation you don't need. If the results come back normal, we tell you so, and you walk away with paperwork to prove it. If they come back elevated, we explain the numbers in plain language and walk you through your options, including our VaPURE process when it's time to deal with the source. We're local. We know Madison basements, what January does to an under-insulated attic, what August humidity does to a sealed-up house, and where mould tends to turn up in homes around here. Same-day appointments are usually available when you call in the morning, and every test is backed by an independent certified lab.
