WHAT IS RADON?

Radon is a natural, radioactive gas found in homes all over the United States. It is colorless and odorless.  It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water, and gets into the air you breathe.

Any home can have a radon problem, including both new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. In fact, you and your family are most likely to get your greatest radiation exposure at home. That is where you spend most of your time.

Radon is extremely carcinogenic. According to the EPA, radon is one of the leading contributors to the development of lung cancer, behind only smoking. For this reason, regular radon testing is key whether you’re a homeowner, or you’re interested in purchasing a home.

Nearly one out of every 15 homes in the United States is estimated to have an elevated radon level

Radon levels can differ door to door even if levels are low in your closest neighbor

HOW DOES RADON ENTER MY HOME?

Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above, and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter your home through well water. Your home can trap radon inside.  This is dangerous for the health of you and your family.

WHAT IS A RADON TEST, AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Radon testing is the only way to determine if your home is safe from the dangerous effects of radon.

We offer short-term testing using today’s technology. Our radon testing devices sample air and precisely calculate the radon level using silicon photodiodes. The instrument is calibrated to reference instruments in accredited laboratories and is NRPP and NRSB certified. After the test, we will send you an easy to read report detailing the results and any recommendations.

Test your home and keep your family safe.

Schedule an inspection today, and make sure your home is free of this potentially-deadly, radioactive gas.
