Why this bundle
Moving into a new home can be stressful, and it is important to understand your home’s internal exposome. Moving means unknown history, new furniture, paint and overall disruption to your new home. All of these can release new exposure into your home, or stir up ones that had been dormant before you came to the home. This bundle gives you your new home’s vitals and will help guide you toward specific interventions for one of the biggest investments you’ll make.
Moving into a new home means using a new water system, and what comes out of your tap can depend on both the local water supply and your home’s plumbing. The Drinking Water Level 1 + Bacteria test provides a baseline look at your new home’s water, including important water characteristics, metals, and bacteria. Testing can be especially useful if the home has older plumbing, uses a private well, or you simply do not know its water history. Understanding your water when you first move in can help identify potential concerns and determine whether filtration, plumbing changes, or additional testing may be worth considering.
VOC Air Exposure
A new home can come with unfamiliar sources of indoor air pollution. Fresh paint, new flooring, cabinetry, furniture, cleaning products, recent renovations, and an attached garage can all release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into indoor air. The VOC Air Exposure test can help you understand what is present in the air you are breathing and establish a baseline for your new home. If elevated VOCs are identified, the results can help guide practical next steps such as increasing ventilation or identifying and removing potential sources.
Mold & Fungus Surface Tape
You may know what your new home looks like today, but you may not know its full history of leaks, flooding, humidity, or water damage. Mold can develop where excess moisture is present, including bathrooms, basements, around windows, and near plumbing. A Mold & Fungus Surface Tape test can help identify common types of mold on surfaces where growth is visible or suspected. Testing suspicious areas and addressing the moisture that allows mold to grow can help you better understand and improve your new home’s indoor environment.
Lead Dust Surface Wipe
If you are moving into an older home, lead can be an important environmental hazard to consider. Lead-based paint in older buildings can deteriorate or be disturbed during renovations, creating contaminated dust that can collect on floors, windowsills, and other frequently used surfaces. Lead may also be tracked indoors from contaminated soil. A Lead Dust Surface Wipe allows you to test specific areas of your new home for lead-containing dust, helping identify potential concerns before they become part of your family’s everyday environment.
Common questions
What should I test first in a new home?
Radon and water are common starting points. Radon is invisible and depends on your specific foundation and geology, and water can pick up lead from the building’s own pipes.
The inspection passed. Do I still need this?
A home inspection rarely measures radon, water contaminants, or mold levels. These kits fill that gap with lab-measured results.
