Mold, Odor and Indoor Air Quality Assessments in Ohio​

You deserve to know exactly what is happening in the air you breathe.

No guesses. No minimization.

​

If your home doesn’t feel right, there is a reason.

I understand that you aren't calling for a sales pitch. You’re calling because your home no longer feels like a sanctuary, and you need a professional to identify the invisible stressors that are working against you.

Most of my clients reach out because something in their environment has shifted, even if they can't see it yet:

• 🌫️ The air feels heavy or stale.

• 👃 Odors come and go without a clear source.

• 🫁 Breathing feels harder indoors than it should.

• 🏠 Symptoms show up at home and ease when you leave.

Sometimes nothing looks obviously wrong at all, which makes the situation even more frustrating. People start questioning themselves. They wonder if they’re overreacting. They clean more. They change products. They open windows. They try to ignore it.

When those things don’t work, they start looking for answers. That’s where I come in.

My role is to determine what is actually happening inside the building, explain why it is happening, and outline what needs to be done to correct it. I do that by evaluating indoor air quality in the context of how the structure actually behaves—not by guessing, not by relying on surface observations and not by using fear to push a solution.

​

🎗️ Why Bio-Shock Exists

I did not enter this industry casually.

In 2016, my wife passed away from a fatal asthma attack while she was cleaning our home. There was no obvious warning sign beforehand. It happened during an ordinary task, in an environment that did not appear visibly dangerous.

That reality permanently changed how I view indoor environments and indoor air quality. It forced me to confront how much can be happening in the air and inside a building, even when everything looks normal and even when people believe they are doing the right things.

Bio-Shock exists because people deserve clear, defensible answers about their indoor air quality and the conditions inside the buildings they live in. Not guesses. Not minimization. Not fear-based upselling.

This work is personal and I treat it that way.

🧬 How Indoor Air Quality Problems Actually Develop

Most indoor air quality problems do not begin with a single dramatic event. They develop slowly, quietly and often invisibly.

• 🌬️ Airflow: Air is constantly moving through a home. It enters through basements, crawlspaces, wall cavities and attics. It moves because of pressure differences, temperature changes and mechanical systems. Wherever that air travels, it carries whatever it passes through with it.

• 💧 Moisture: Moisture behaves the same way. It does not need to look wet to matter. Vapor can move through concrete, framing and finishes. Over time, that moisture changes how materials behave and what they release into the air.

• 🔄 Movement: Odors, particles and microbial byproducts do not stay neatly confined to one location. They move with air. They accumulate. They cycle through living spaces, often without a strong smell or obvious visual cue.

This is why people can feel worse in a home that looks clean and normal. It is also why surface cleaning alone so often fails to solve indoor air quality problems.

🔬 How I Approach Indoor Air Quality

My name is Eric Schmidt. I am an Indoor Environmental Professional and the owner of Bio-Shock Testing and Environmental Solutions.

I evaluate indoor air quality, odor conditions and mold risk by understanding how a structure actually behaves as a system. Airflow, pressure relationships, moisture dynamics and material interactions are evaluated together, not in isolation.

When you understand what is driving the environment, you can correct the problem at its source. When you do not, the same issues tend to repeat, even after cleaning, even after remediation and even after multiple inspections.

I focus on causes, not symptoms. On explanation, not alarm.

​

🤝 What Working With Me Is Like

When someone contacts Bio-Shock, the first step is a conversation. Not a sales pitch. Not a rushed scheduling call.

We talk through what you are experiencing, what has already been done and what concerns you most. That conversation helps determine whether an assessment makes sense and what level of evaluation is actually appropriate. Not every situation needs the same approach.

• Clarity: If an assessment is performed, the goal is clarity. You should understand how your indoor air quality is being influenced, whether conditions are stable or trending in the wrong direction and what needs to change to correct it.

• Honesty: If nothing significant is found, I will tell you that clearly.

• Direction: If problems are identified, I will explain why they exist and what options you have to address them.

There is no pressure to proceed beyond that point.

​

🛡️ Straight Answers, Not Pressure

I work with homeowners, renters, families, realtors and property managers who want real answers about indoor air quality. People who are tired of guessing and tired of being sold to.

You will not be rushed. You will not be talked into unnecessary work. You will be given information that makes sense and holds up. That is how Bio-Shock operates.
