Building Inspection, Testing, and Diagnosis
Buildings may be designed the same and look the same, but they are pushed to the limit differently by occupants and the elements of nature. There is no magic cure-all product against dust, odors, comfort, airflow, pressure-induced leaks, poor builds, or a poor HVAC design. The comfort journey starts with getting to know the homeowner energy habits, comfort desires, concerns, and goals. If there are home performance issues new or old, resolving issues go beyond a typical specialist contractor service call. Healing a home of comfort pains and mechanical disasters takes a whole house approach that involve patients and more than a 30 minute typical specialty contractor service call. Properly diagnosing each system of the home gives the homeowner the ability to prioritize their home upgrades and repairs as a system. A Performance Audit is more than a
S.O.P Home Inspection, it is an educational guide for the homeowner. Based on
Building Performance Institute and
Building Performance Workshop (BPW) training, it helps homeowners understand their home and puts them in control of better decisions.
Creating A Healthy Home
A healthy home is essential to protecting occupant health, indoor air & environmental quality, and long-term building durability. By controlling air leakage, moisture migration, and contaminant pathways, we help reduce exposure to airborne pollutants, limit conditions that support microbial growth, and minimize the risk of secondary damage and unseen health issues
Fixing The House & The Systems
If you are dealing with home comfort problems and financially bleeding from ongoing home maintenance issues, calling a single specialist like an HVAC sales technician, roofer, or handyman can often be a lateral move and an expensive mistake. A home performance audit is like taking your home to a primary care physician to be evaluated for underlying issues affecting comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and overall system performance. By identifying abnormalities across the home as a system, we help homeowners make smarter decisions, avoid unnecessary repairs or replacements, and, when needed, connect you with the right service specialist to support your home performance goals.
Our Goal Is To Help You Get It Right
The decision to repair or replace should be made by the person investing in the home, not by a contractor using pressure or fear to make the company mandated upselling procedures. Honest recommendations should be based on proper inspection, diagnostics, and testing facts. Applying a solution without accurate testing and diagnostic information is no different than prescribing a treatment protocol without first identifying the underlying condition. It is an irresponsible practice that increases misdiagnosis, ineffective expensive repairs, secondary property damage, and potentially harmful to occupants.

Heat Flow
Heat moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. Conduction, Convection, and Raidant heat flow is a cat and mouse game to maintain comfort from heat loss and heat gain. The heat loss in the winter must be replaced by your heating system and the heat gained in the summer must be removed by your cooling system. In a underperforming home, in climate zone 3, twice a year a homeowner will spend extra fighting The Dog Days of Summer and Old Man Winter.
Air Flow & Pressure
Georgia has warm humid summer nights. Stack effect, HVAC systems, and wind depressurization can draw moist air into building wall cavities, where it may condense and cause moisture damage. If it is pressurization or depressurization, comfort, health, building integrity, and finaces are all at risk.
Moisture
Mositure in your home can come from many sources. Mositure can enter your home by air leakage, intrusion, leaky ducts, or seeping through foundations. Things will happen but controlling the elements make things much better. Oftentimes contractors don't understand Building Science, so comfort isn't designed in the plans.
Indoor Air Quality
Air Quality in and around the home is always a mystery. There is no one product or 30 minute service call that can fix all of your IAQ issues. Pollutants come from people, pets, building materials, outdoor sources, and a million other things. An improperly installed HVAC system or a spray foamed attics, can cause catastrophic failures to IAQ and even the home structure.
Performance Audits & Home Inspections
Performance Audit & Testing is a building performance focused service designed to evaluate the home as a system. By combining consultation, inspection, and diagnostic testing, we help identify conditions that may be impacting indoor air quality, comfort, moisture balance, airflow, and energy efficiency, creating a clearer path toward a healthier, safe and well performing home.
Give Your Home The Physical It Needs
At TruResults, we do not pretend to know everything, and that is exactly why we test. Too many contractors walk into a home with an answer already in mind before proper testing, diagnosis, and evaluation have been completed. We rely on building science, factual observations, and measurable data because without testing, no one truly knows the cause of a problem. Our goal is to give you clear answers based on evidence, not a commission-motivated opinion.
A blower door test gives homeowners, builders, buyers, and property investors a clearer understanding of how a home is really performing. By measuring airtightness and air leakage in the building envelope, the test helps identify conditions that may impact energy efficiency, comfort, indoor air quality, construction quality, and code compliance in both new and existing homes.
Blower Door Testing
Duct Leakage Testing
A duct test is a valuable diagnostic tool used to measure duct leakage and evaluate the overall performance of the duct system. By testing how much air is escaping through the ductwork, the process helps uncover conditions that may impact comfort, airflow, energy efficiency, HVAC performance, and installation quality in both new construction and existing homes.
HVAC Commissioning
HVAC commissioning is a valuable diagnostic and system optimization service that helps measure how well an HVAC system is operating and delivering airflow throughout the home. Using static pressure testing, return and supply side airflow measurement, and performance evaluation, this service provides important information that can help improve comfort, efficiency, airflow balance, system reliability, and overall HVAC performance.
Blower Door & Duct Testing Is More Than That Energy Efficiency Thing!!
Blower Door & Duct Leakage Testing
D.E.T Verification For Georgia's Energy Code Compliance & Build Envelope Inpection.
There’s no need to invest in a new home in Georgia without ensuring true quality. Even after a home inspection, a builder’s oversight, and a city inspection, many new homes still suffer from hidden issues underperforming HVAC systems, poor insulation, or a lack of air sealing costing homeowners thousands in repairs soon after the warranty expires. Many newly built homes already have mechanical failures before the final inspection. A blower door test and duct leakage test are among the most important tools in commissioning a home and its mechanical systems. Unfortunately, builders and contractors are often allowed to test themselves, which too often leads to fabricated scores that cost homeowners catastrophically.
While some builders in the Atlanta area stand by their quality, we see that many do not often because local building inspectors are not always equipped to catch these flaws. That’s why third-party blower door and duct testing are essential. By investing in independent testing, homeowners, realtors, and investors can make sure a new home is truly built for comfort, efficiency, and long-term value.
Building Envelope Inspection
The building envelope is what separates the interior of the home from the outdoors. This includes the windows, doors, insulation, and the hidden air leakage points between building materials. Inspecting the envelope helps us evaluate how well the home is insulated and sealed against outside temperatures, weather, moisture, and uncontrolled air leakage
New Construction Testing
Georgia’s Energy Code, based on the 2015 IECC with Georgia Supplements and Amendments, requires a blower door test and a duct leakage test on new construction and certain applicable projects according to Georgia code. TruResults Home Services recommends testing before drywall and insulation are completed, because air sealing and duct corrections are easier and less costly to address before the home is fully finished. D.E.T. Verifying is a pass or fail test, and if a test fails, we work with homeowners, builders, and contractors to help achieve a passing score.
Georgia’s current targets:
<5 ACH50 for envelope leakage
<6 CFM per 100 square feet for duct leakage
<3Ach50 mechanical ventilation required
Existing Home Testing
For existing homes, testing requirements are different and depend on the scope of work. Georgia code does not require full duct leakage testing on every existing home. In general, existing duct systems are not required to be tested unless more than 50% of the duct system is modified. Even when testing is not required for code compliance, blower door and duct testing can still be valuable for diagnosing comfort, efficiency, and performance problems in the home.
Putting Standards & Integrity into Comfort
Our inspections, performance testing and comfort resolutons follow industry approved codes, standards and guidelines. The opportunity for achieving comfort and beyond in new construction should never be missed. It can also be achieved and maintained in existing homes.
The Comfort Making Device.
HVAC Testing, Diagnosis & System Commissioning
Your HVAC system is the heart of the home. It should be diagnosed, tested, and sized properly. We provide room-by-room airflow testing, static pressure and airflow diagnostics, duct inspections, HVAC diagnosis, load calculations, and commissioning verification to help improve comfort and performance.
Indoor Air Quality Is An Action
Filtration, Ventilation & Dehumidification
Ventilation, filtration, and dehumidification all play a major role in the comfort and health of your home. We evaluate how your home breathes, how your system filters the air, and what may be affecting indoor air quality and overall HVAC performance so you can move forward with better comfort, cleaner air, and real solutions.
Whole-Home Air Sealing & Duct Sealing
Poor building envelope and duct sealing can allow dangerous and unhealthy air to move through the home, carrying dust, moisture, pollutants, attic particles, crawlspace air, garage fumes, and other contaminants into the living space. Proper sealing helps protect health and safety by reducing exposure to unwanted pollutants, improving indoor air quality, controlling moisture, and helping the HVAC system deliver cleaner, safer air.
Exterior & Interior
AIR SEALING
Interior and exterior air sealing can include windows, doors, attic hatches, recessed lights, plumbing and wiring penetrations, top plates, bottom plates, duct boot connections, register gaps, chase openings, fireplace surrounds, vent terminations, outdoor fixtures, rim joists, and other visible leakage points around the home.
Controlling Leakage
DUCT SEALING
Duct leakage and duct system components can include supply and return plenums, trunk lines, branch runs, takeoffs, boots, air handler connections, filter grilles, register connections, panned returns, duct seams, joints, and other visible leakage points throughout the duct system.
Insulation & Air Sealing
Ensuring your home is dressed to impress with the correct R-value and tailored air sealing for today’s changing climate. Comfort is more than seeing, it is believing through testing beyond guessing. A whole-home assessment should be done before insulation is installed, allowing for proper air sealing, preparation, and a better-performing home. When insulation is installed without testing first, hidden air leaks can remain and reduce the value of the upgrade. Start with testing, seal the home properly, and give your new insulation the foundation it needs to truly perform.

Remediation Restoration Consultation
We provide guidance to help reduce the risk of secondary damage while you wait on insurance approval, and we assist homeowners in making sure remediation and restoration work is approached with proper standards, integrity, and best practices. As an independent third party, TruResults Home Services offers inspections, testing, and documentation to help homeowners clearly understand the condition of their home and verify that damage and concerns are properly identified.
Our goal is to help you protect your home, ask better questions, and make informed decisions throughout the entire process. If you are dealing with water damage, mold concerns, or questions about restoration work, contact TruResults Home Services for a professional evaluation and guidance you can trust.
3rd Party Testing & Monitoring
During water damage or mold events, the insurance claim process often determines the scope of work, the contractors involved, and the final outcome. When accountability is lacking, homeowners can be left with unresolved damage long after the claim is closed. Too often, the process favors insurance interests over proper restoration and restoring the home to pre-claim conditions.
TruResults Home Services works as an independent third-party investigator for homeowners. Through professional inspections, diagnostics, and testing, we help verify conditions, identify hidden problems, and provide unbiased documentation. Our goal is to help homeowners understand what is truly happening in their home so restoration work is based on facts, proper repairs, and making the property right.
