Indoor Air Quality Ottawa

I contacted Shawn at Indoor Air Quality after a contractor highlighted to me that I have asbestos surrounding the heating ducts in my home. The contractor suggested the removal of the asbestos and asked for tens of thousands of dollars to do so. I wanted to ensure that my family was not at risk and wanted an impartial opinion. Shawn was able to inspect my home and provide me with information on Provincial and civic guidelines on how to address our issue. Within a couple of hours I was able to validate that I had a relatively minor containment job on my hands and that there was no imminent risk to my family. In fact the removal of the asbestos product would have been a much riskier means of dealing with what is essentially a non-issue. All in all this saved me a lot of stress and a lot of money. I can't recommend Shawn enough.

Shawn Rankin did an outstanding job working with me to provide recommendations for my 140 year old home. He was on time and so knowledgeable it was hard cram all good ideas into our time allotment! He was honest, straightforward and had no gimmicks or hard sell.

I spoke to the owner Shawn and it is rare that someone will suggest that I can save money by doing some simple tests myself. He provided me how to do the test and why the test was necessary. I now know more than I ever thought I would need to know about; mould, heat loss and basic home foundations. He is a very knowledgable man and when I need his services, i will be sure to call him or recommend him to anyone that may need his services. If corporate atmosphere stems from the boss, he will have a great set of employees. Aaron Rosler

Overall, I was extremely impressed with this service! Thank you Shawn for your wonderful service, timeliness, cost-efficiency suggestions, and friendly demeanour!

Shawn came to our house at exactly the hour booked and spent over 2 hours providing us with a wealth of information to identify sources of poor air quality and ways to deal with them. He did not try to sell us anything else and thus provided unbiased advice. Highly recommended.

I have respiratory problems and wanted to ensure that the air quality in my house is okay. Overall, the air quality was okay but I was given a number of inexpensive options to improve it along with more expensive ones. The investigation reassured me and I now know what to do for better quality air.

Shawn was knowledgeable, on time, gave expert advice, no fear tactics or gimmicks. Happy to work with him again. Only challenge was finding a time that worked for both schedules.

Shawn Rankin ,Senior Inspector of "Indoor Air Quality" in Ottawa provided us with a timely and thorough inspection of our centre located in downtown Ottawa. His vast knowledge of the problems we are facing will help us to take the necessary steps in providing a healthy and truly welcoming environment for our participants. Thanks Shawn for all of the information given to help us move forward!

Had Shawn inspect our home because of the musty smell that we had during certain times of the year. Shawn arrived and quickly was able to pinpoint several problems that we must address. He has a wealth of knowledge and was able to explain the best ways for us to correct the problems that we have, we only wish that we had him here years ago. He took the time to go over all areas of the house and then at the end of the inspection reviewed what must be done. As a consultant we could not ask for better, his service is truly a step above.
