Radon Testing
Protect Your Home and Family
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can silently accumulate in homes, posing serious health risks to you and your loved ones. As a professional home inspector, we offer comprehensive radon testing services to ensure your home is safe from this invisible threat.
Why Radon Testing Matters
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for thousands of deaths each year. This naturally occurring gas can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, and floors, making it crucial to test for its presence.
Health Risks
Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, especially for smokers. By testing your home, you take a proactive step in protecting your family’s health.
Property Value
Radon testing is often required during real estate transactions. Having a recent radon test report can streamline the selling process and potentially increase your property’s value.
Our Simple 5-Step Testing Process
We use liquid scintillation tests and follow EPA-approved protocols to ensure accurate results. We use short-term testing* only.
Consultation
We’ll discuss your needs and schedule the test at your convenience.
Setup
Our certified technician will place testing devices in the lowest livable area of your home.
Monitoring
The test runs for the designated period, during which you’ll need to maintain closed-house conditions.
Analysis
We’ll retrieve the devices and send them to a certified laboratory for analysis.
Results
You’ll receive a detailed report of your home’s radon levels, typically within 5-7 business days.
Interpreting Your Results
Part1: The Threshold
The EPA recommends taking action if your home’s radon levels are 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher.
Part 2: What’s Next
If your results exceed this threshold, we can provide guidance on radon mitigation options. Even if you have a radon mitigation system in your house, the EPA recommends testing every 2 years to make sure it is working properly as part of regular home maintenance.
