BioVac: A precise and standards-compliant duct inspection
Indoor air quality is a major concern for occupants of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Various contaminants—whether biological (mold, bacteria) or chemical (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, asbestos)—can infiltrate the air we breathe due to human activity or environmental factors. This indoor air pollution can lead to recurring symptoms in occupants, affecting their health and well-being. It is therefore essential to regularly assess indoor air quality to identify and eliminate potential sources of contamination.

Our multidisciplinary experienced team. This diverse expertise enables us to approach each project with a global and integrated perspective. Additionally, our use of advanced technologies—such as infrared thermography—sets us apart by providing precise and non-destructive analysis of structures and systems.
At BioVac System, we offer a full range of specialized services to assess and improve indoor air quality:
Analysis by certified independent laboratories: Our certified partner laboratories analyze samples for substances such as mold, asbestos, and lead.
Ventilation system cleanliness assessment based on IRSST scale: We visually inspect the cleanliness of ventilation ducts in accordance with standards from the Robert-Sauvé Research Institute in Occupational Health and Safety (IRSST).
Visual inspection of surfaces and HVAC systems: Our teams thoroughly examine areas likely to contain contamination sources, taking into account the building’s history and specific context.
NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaners Association) test: This test quantifies the level of dust in air ducts, helping to determine whether cleaning is needed.
Moisture testing & control: Water infiltration is a major issue for building owners. With advanced instruments, we identify infiltration sources to prevent long-term damage and preserve better indoor air quality.
Water damage assessment: Our evaluations help detect both direct and indirect structural damage, and allow for the creation of an action plan to correct the situation
