Radon Inspection

About Radon Testing...
The following information should help you decide whether to add a radon test to your inspection request. For your peace of mind and safety of your family, the minimal cost is surely worth it. Don’t wait until one day when you want to sell your home and THEN find that the level was way above the mitigation threshold. The new buyer will most likely ask you to mitigate it, and you will have derived no benefit from this cost. Why take a chance!!!


What is Radon Gas? Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. You can’t smell it, see it, or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home. When you breathe air containing radon gas, you increase your chance of lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high. So book an appointment now!!! 


SURGEON GENERAL HEALTH ADVISORY
"Indoor radon gas is a national health problem. Radon causes thousands of deaths each year. Millions of homes have elevated radon levels. Homes should be tested for radon. When elevated levels are confirmed, the problem should be corrected."


Recommendations

EPA Recommends:
• If you are planning on buying a home or selling your home, have it tested for radon.
• For new homes, ask if radon resistant construction features have been used.
• Fix the home if the radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.
