    Indoor Air Quality Test
    Four years ago I gutted the second floor of my Cape Cod style home. After doing a lot of research on insulation and the difficulties insulating a Cape, I decided on Icynene open cell spray foam. The foam was sprayed right to the roof decking and the gable walls. The roof is no longer vented and the space behind the kneewalls is now conditioned space.

    During hot days there is a smell that creeps into the upstairs hallway and the upstairs bedrooms. While I'm trying to address the odor, I want to test the air quality to make sure my 18-month-old daughter is safe. While I'm at it, I might as well test the air quality in my basement before I start finishing that room, too.

    I'm not sure if I should go with a test kit or call a professional. Here are two links to test kits I'm considering:

    Home Air Check

    Air Lab Online

    So what do you think? I think I need to check for mold, VOCs, and formaldehyde. Should I try a kit or call a pro?

    Thanks,
    Logan
