No matter where you are in America, your home may be exposed to dangerous radon gas. Radon is a natural, radioactive gas which is produced when uranium in the Earth’s crust decays, and turns into radium.
Outdoors, radon will naturally dissipate harmlessly into the atmosphere as it rises through the crust. But in homes, it can become trapped, which is dangerous for the health of you and your family. Radon is colorless and odorless, and it 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. Learn more below.
Why Are Radon Tests Important?
The biggest benefit of radon testing is peace of mind. Radon has no smell, taste, or color, and beyond contributing to the development of lung cancer, radon exposure has no symptoms that can be identified by a doctor. That means a radon test is the only way to make sure your home has a safe level of radon.
How Do Radon Tests Work?
Radon testing is the only way to determine if your home has higher-than-average levels of radon, which can pose a health risk to your family.
We offer a short-term radon test that involves placing a radon machine in the home for 48 hours. The machine will measure the radon levels during that time, and we will analyze the results to determine the overall radon levels in the home.
Please note that we do not use charcoal canisters or send-in test kits. Our radon machines are more accurate and provide faster results.
