You track your nutrition.
Your sleep. Your HRV.
What about your air?
What you breathe shapes how you feel.
Most people have never measured what they breathe. We change that with comprehensive, real-time air quality analysis that maps every room in your home or workplace. Results in a single visit. Data you can act on.

Most people have never measured what they breathe. We change that — with comprehensive, real-time air quality analysis that maps every room in your home or workplace. Results in a single visit. Data you can act on.
Airborne Fungal Particles
Real-time detection of airborne fungal particles — identifying elevated mold levels room by room before they become visible or symptomatic.
Bacterial & Viral Particles
Airborne bacterial and viral particle counts, room by room. Elevated levels can indicate HVAC contamination, poor ventilation, or active biological sources — often invisible without testing.
Indoor Pollen
Indoor pollen particle counts reveal how effectively your home filters outdoor allergens. Elevated indoor pollen — especially in bedrooms — is a common driver of allergy symptoms and poor sleep.
VOCs
VOCs from building materials, cleaning products, and off-gassing furniture. Many are invisible but measurable — and harmful at chronic low-level exposure.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a direct proxy for ventilation quality. Elevated CO₂ correlates with cognitive impairment, fatigue, and poor sleep — even without other pollutants present.
Humidity Mapping
Mold requires moisture. We map humidity room by room to identify hidden moisture gradients that predict where biological contamination is likely to develop or already exists.
Room-by-Room Mapping
Every room tested and compared against an outdoor baseline. We don’t hand you a single number — we give you a floor-plan-level map of exactly where readings are elevated and where the air is clean.
What sets us apartRigorous testing. Clear answers.
A thorough, systematic process from intake to written report built around giving you data you can actually use.
Schedule & Intake
We discuss your symptoms, concerns, and property history. This context shapes where we focus, a water-damaged basement gets different attention than a new build with VOC concerns.
Whole-Property Survey
Using professional-grade multi-parameter air analysis equipment, we assess every room, closet, crawlspace, and HVAC zone. We test indoors and outdoors simultaneously to establish a true baseline comparison.
Real-Time Results Review
Before we leave, you see your data. We walk through room-by-room findings, explain what elevated readings mean, and identify likely source locations, no waiting a week for a lab report.
Written Report & Action Plan
A detailed written report follows, formatted for your records or to share with your physician, naturopath, or remediation contractor. Clear, prioritized next steps included.
Retest & Verification
After remediation or environmental changes, we retest to confirm results. Measure, intervene, verify. This is how you close the loop.
Symptoms that may have an environmental root.
These are the presentations we see most often referred by integrative and functional medicine providers. When the environment is tested and addressed, many patients see meaningful improvement.
Brain Fog & Cognitive Issues
Difficulty concentrating, word-finding problems, and memory issues frequently track with elevated VOCs and bioaerosol counts, especially in home offices and bedrooms.
Chronic Fatigue
Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t resolve with sleep is one of the most common presentations linked to CIRS and mold-related illness. Environmental testing is often the missing step.
Respiratory Symptoms
Chronic cough, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, and recurrent respiratory infections that fail to fully resolve between episodes.
Sleep Disruption
Elevated CO and particulate matter in bedrooms measurably impair sleep quality and morning cognitive performance independent of other factors.
Unexplained Inflammation
Chronically elevated inflammatory markers without clear cause. Biotoxin illness produces a distinctive pattern, and environmental history is essential diagnostic context.
Allergy & Sensitivity
New-onset sensitivities, chemical sensitivities, or worsening allergic responses that developed after a move or property event: flood, renovation, HVAC change.
Indoor air quality is a clinical variable.
The evidence linking indoor mold and particulate exposure to chronic symptoms is substantial and increasingly central to functional medicine practice.
of US homes have moisture problems. In the Pacific Northwest, with its wet winters and poor ventilation, the prevalence is among the highest in the country.
of our time is spent indoors. The air inside your home or office is the most consequential environmental exposure most people never measure.
Indoor air pollutant concentrations are typically 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels and can be up to 100x higher in specific rooms.
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome from water-damaged buildings affects an estimated 25% of the population, especially those with specific genetic HLA variants.
A missing piece in your environmental diagnostic toolkit.
When your patients’ labs are normal but symptoms persist, fatigue, brain fog, respiratory issues, chronic inflammation, indoor mold and air quality exposure is often the unexamined variable.
We provide the environmental half of the investigation. Our professional reports are formatted for clinical records, and same-visit findings give you data to discuss at the next appointment.

You’ve optimized everything. Except your air.
You track HRV. You time your light exposure. You’ve dialed in sleep, training, and nutrition. But every night, you breathe 2,000 gallons of unmonitored, untested air.
In Portland’s climate, cool, damp, and humid most of the year, mold is a year-round concern, not a seasonal one. One water event can silently compromise the air quality of an otherwise optimized home.
What you breathe shapes how you feel. Know what’s in your air with the same precision you apply to every other biometric.
- Comprehensive baseline mold, PM2.5, VOCs, CO, humidity
- Identify bedroom air quality issues affecting recovery
- Pinpoint VOC sources from furniture, finishes, or products
- Same-visit results, no waiting on a lab
- Data formatted for sharing with your health team
Rooted in inspection. Built for health.
Jim and Michele spent years in home inspection and water restoration, which gave them an unusually detailed understanding of how moisture travels through buildings, where contamination hides, and why a standard visual inspection so often fails to catch it.
Illumenair was built on that foundation, adding professional-grade air quality analysis to give homeowners, patients, and providers the environmental data that’s been missing from the picture.
Life-long Pacfic Northwesters, we’re based in Ridgefield and serve the greater Portland and Seattle region, a climate where mold is a year-round concern, not an afterthought.
We’ve walked through thousands of homes. The difference between what people can see and what the air data shows, room by room, is almost always surprising. That’s the gap we close.Jim & Michele, Founders, Illumenair
