In Baton Rouge, the air outside might be hot and humid — but what about the air inside your home?
Poor indoor air quality is one of the most overlooked health risks in Louisiana homes. From mold spores and allergens to VOCs and humidity-related pollutants, the air inside your home can impact your breathing, sleep, and long-term health. That’s where indoor air quality testing comes in.
At MoldBR, we provide advanced testing to identify what’s in the air you and your family are breathing — and what to do if it’s a problem.
Why Indoor Air Quality Matters
Your home should be a safe space — not a source of irritation or illness. But in Baton Rouge, high humidity, flooding, and aging construction often lead to:
- Hidden mold growth
- Poor ventilation
- Moisture buildup in walls and HVAC systems
These factors can trigger:
- Chronic coughing or sneezing
- Headaches and fatigue
- Worsened asthma and allergies
- Mold-related illness and mycotoxin exposure
Even if there’s no visible mold, the air could be filled with microscopic spores or chemical contaminants. Indoor air quality testing helps bring those hidden threats to light.
What Is Indoor Air Quality Testing?
Indoor air quality testing (IAQ testing) includes:
- Air sampling for mold spores and allergens
- VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) detection
- Humidity and temperature readings
- Surface or bulk sampling for fungal growth
At MoldBR, our home mold assessment includes mold spore analysis by a certified lab, giving you accurate data on mold types and concentrations.
Baton Rouge’s Mold Risk Is Higher Than Average
Louisiana’s climate puts local homes at high risk for mold. Between seasonal storms, HVAC condensation, and old insulation, your home might already be affected — even if you can’t see it yet.
This is especially true for:
- Homes with past water damage
- Older properties with poor ventilation
- Houses with window units or ductless AC that don’t dehumidify properly
Signs You Might Need IAQ or Mold Testing
You should consider scheduling an air quality test if:
- You experience allergy symptoms that improve when leaving the house
- There’s a persistent musty or earthy smell
- You’ve had roof leaks, pipe bursts, or flooding
- You recently renovated or moved into an older home
- You suspect mold but can’t find it
Even one room with poor airflow or dampness can become a hotspot for fungal growth.
