WE SOLVE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
At DesignWell we help you find out the root cause of your environmental health issues that may be stemming from poor indoor air quality. These tests are so accurate it’s down to the parts per billion and nanogram per square liter. We work with the best accredited labs in the country to give you the most professional reporting along with our support to consult on mitigation if necessary. f health and wellness is important to you then we feel where you live, work, stay, play, learn or visit should be healthy and supportive too.
We work with you to fine tune your property by focusing on the following:
air and water quality, EMFs, healthy building materials, lighting, color, acoustics, and plants. Recent studies (and your own experience) tell us that we spend most of our time indoors. about 90%. The EPA tells us that indoor air can have 100 times the chemicals that outdoor air has. Volatile. By the time we are finished with your project, your space will feel lighter, more tranquil, inspiring and place you want to spend time in rather than flee!

ONSITE MOLD + MYCOTOXIN TESTING
If you suspect that mold may be in your building or vehicle, call us to come out and test. We test the air in the environment for mold spores present and compare them to the outside environment. We then consult with you on where they are coming from and what to do to mitigate them safely without harmful chemicals. We also test for mycotoxins that may have been released from mold spores into your body. Great to test if you have recently tested your body for mycotoxins to see if your environment may be continually exposing you to them. We have a 4 test minimum with one test outside and 3 tests inside.

ONSITE EMF TESTING
Test to know what your exposures are inside and outside your home or workplace. Test nearby power lines, inside wiring, appliances, cell towers, substations, appliances and devices. Mitigation consulting is available when necessary. Mold and mycotoxins can be exacerbated by EMFs, we can show you how to reduce your exposure so you can heal faster.
DesignWell Studios comes out to the property and measures both EMF and RF signals and gives you the readings in a report along with precautionary principle guidelines. While we can’t tell you whether to buy the property or not, we can give you the information you need so you can make a sound decision. We test for elevated levels of electromagnetic frequencies and radio frequencies and consult on how to protect yourself from potentially harmful signals. Many properties can be mitigated, but it's best to know your levels first. When you are purchasing a new home, it's good to know where potential hot zones are.
Includes:
Walk through with testing equipment for both Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Radio Frequency (RF). We also check inside wiring for dirty electricity as well as appliances, location of smart meters, power lines, cell towers, antennas and radio towers. We test for elevated levels of electromagnetic frequencies and radio frequencies and consult on how to protect yourself from potentially harmful signals. We also offer mitigation, shielding consulting and shielding products when necessary.

Before MOLD, VOC, Radon Testing Instructions
Residential
Keep exterior doors and windows closed as much as possible for at least 2-3 days before and during sample collection.
Also, turn off all standalone air filters and air purifiers for 2-3 days.
Do NOT turn off the heating and/or air conditioning systems.
Do NOT mow grass, rake leaves, or otherwise disturb the property on the day of sampling.
Leave all interior doors (including closets) open to allow the air to flow freely.
Refrain from frying or cooking with oils the day before and during the test to prevent artificially high VOC results. Also, please do not cook at all during the test.
Do not clean or dust during the test or within 12 hours of beginning the test.
For homes greater than 2,000 square feet or with several levels, you may want to consider performing more than one test in order to collect air samples representative of the entire home. Some possible sampling locations in larger homes are: the center area of each floor; one side of the house on one floor and the other side of the house on another floor; two sides of a single-story home; or any room(s) in the house where the occupants spend the most time, like a family room, basement, bedroom, etc.
Commercial
To the extent possible, keep the area closed and operating in a normal manner.
Do not clean or dust during the test or within 12 hours of beginning the test. Industrial Some industrial locations may have high concentrations, especially in production or manufacturing areas. If high concentrations are suspected or unusual sampling conditions exist, contact Prism to discuss sampling modifications (e.g., decrease in sample collection time).
We have a 24 hour cancelation policy. If you need to reschedule that is great but if you cancel less than 24 hours a $250 charge will be invoiced. We appreciate your respect in this matter as we need to keep our time valuable to help others.
