Home Allergy Testing

Is Your Home Triggering Your Allergies?

Do you wake up with a stuffy nose every morning? Do your "seasonal" allergies seem to last all year long? For millions of New Englanders, the most aggressive allergy triggers aren't found outside—they’re hiding in carpets, bedding, and HVAC systems.

At Vent Genie, we provide professional indoor allergen testing to help you identify the exact biological triggers in your environment. We don't just tell you the air is "dirty"; we find out exactly what is in it so you can finally create a plan for long-term relief.

Identify Your Invisible Triggers

Many homeowners suffer for years because they assume their symptoms are just a "weak immune system." In reality, your home might be under a high occupancy load of microscopic irritants. Our testing identifies the "Big Four" indoor allergens:

• Dust Mites: These microscopic creatures thrive in the humid New England climate, colonizing mattresses, upholstery, and carpets.

• Pet Dander: Even if you don't have pets, dander from previous owners can linger in floorboards and ductwork for years.

• Pollen Infiltration: We track how outdoor allergens from local oak, maple, and ragweed are entering and staying trapped inside your home.

• Mold Spores & Fragments: Even non-toxic mold can trigger severe histamine responses, leading to chronic congestion and fatigue.

Our Data-Driven Testing Process

We move beyond simple "air checks" to provide a forensic look at your home’s health.

1. Comprehensive Environmental Assessment

Our inspectors perform a room-by-room visual assessment, looking for the "reservoirs" where allergens collect. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find the damp spots that allow dust mites and mold to flourish.

2. Multi-Surface & Air Sampling

We use two primary methods to gather data:

• Bioaerosol Air Sampling: We capture airborne particles to see what you are breathing in real-time.

• Surface Dust Analysis: Using specialized vacuums or swabs, we collect samples from carpets and furniture. This is the most effective way to measure the concentration of dust mite waste and pet allergens.

3. Independent Lab Results

Your samples are sent to an accredited laboratory for a Multiplex Array for Indoor Allergens (MARIA) or similar analysis. This provides a scientific breakdown of exactly which proteins are present in your home and at what levels (low, moderate, or high).

From Identification to Comfort

The goal of home allergy testing isn't just to give you a report—it’s to give you your life back. Once we identify the sources, Vent Genie presents a customized Allergen Mitigation Plan, which may include:

• Targeted HVAC & Duct Cleaning to remove years of dander and dust.

• Humidity Control Solutions to drop moisture levels below the 50% threshold where dust mites can survive.

• HEPA Filtration Upgrades for your home’s air handling system.

• Professional Decontamination of high-traffic areas.

Stop Guessing. Start Healing.

You shouldn't have to "just live with" chronic sniffles or itchy eyes. Whether you’re in Worcester or Middlesex Counties, the IAQ experts at Vent Genie are here to help you clear the air.
