As the founder of Island Indoor Air Quality Inspection, George Staples inspects houses for indoor air quality issues using Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's protocol, for which I am accredited.
Having previously worked in the heating and air-conditioning field, I visited many homes with many different problems, including moisture and mold problems, inadequate building procedures, improper renovations, inadequate heating systems all causing unhealthy homes and health problems for some. Most of these people wanted help and as they didn't know where to look for help with these problems they started with a heating company hoping they would solve their problems.
George Staples trained with C.M.H.C because they have over 60 years of housing research behind them. Their program gave precise, up- to- date information on indoor air quality in residential buildings, what to look for , how to solve the problems and hands- on training. I have also been trained in mold detection and remediation.
Health Canada and CMHC are currently working on joint research projects on air quality in homes. These studies are aimed at measuring concentrations of chemical and biological contaminants in indoor air and identifying their sources.
We are not affiliated with any remediation company or testing laboratory or selling any product or service other than an Indoor Air Investigation. We are not health, building or home inspectors, we specialize in indoor air quality.
