After a nearby fire: VOCs in the air, metals in settled dust, and mold from fire or water damage.

Why this bundle
Wildfires can affect your home environment even after the smoke and flames are gone. Smoke, ash, and burned materials can introduce VOCs and metals into the home, while fire damage and firefighting activities can create moisture conditions that encourage mold growth. This bundle looks across air and surfaces to help identify potential contaminants that may remain after a wildfire and guide decisions about cleaning, ventilation, additional testing, or professional remediation.
Wildfire smoke is a complex mixture that can contain gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and smoke from nearby fires can enter your home through windows, doors, ventilation systems, and other openings. Wildfires can also burn buildings, vehicles, and other manufactured materials, potentially releasing additional chemicals into the air. A VOC Air Exposure test can help characterize VOCs present in your indoor air, particularly if you are concerned that smoke has entered or lingered in your home. Testing can provide additional information about your indoor environment and help guide decisions about ventilation, filtration, cleaning, or investigating persistent sources of indoor air pollution.
CAM 17 Metals Surface Wipe
Wildfire ash and smoke can carry more than just particles from burned trees and vegetation. When fires reach homes, vehicles, infrastructure, or industrial areas, they can release metals and other contaminants that may settle onto surfaces as ash and dust. A CAM 17 Metals Surface Wipe can test surfaces in and around your home for a panel of metals, helping identify contamination that may remain after the visible smoke has cleared. This information can be particularly useful when evaluating a property affected by nearby structural fires or wildfire ash and determining whether additional cleaning, testing, or professional remediation may be appropriate.
Mold & Fungus Surface Tape
The environmental effects of a wildfire can continue after the fire itself is gone. Water used during firefighting, damaged roofs or windows, prolonged power outages, and subsequent rain can introduce moisture into a home and create conditions that support mold growth. A Mold & Fungus Surface Tape test can help identify common types of mold on surfaces where growth is visible or suspected. For homes affected by fire or water damage, identifying mold and correcting the underlying moisture problem can be an important part of restoring a healthy indoor environment.
Common questions
The air looks clear now. Is testing still useful?
Fine particles and ash can settle onto surfaces and into dust and remain after outdoor air improves. Air and dust kits show what stayed behind indoors.
What do these kits check for after a fire?
They measure particles and residues that settle indoors after smoke and ash exposure, giving you a lab-measured picture of your rooms.
