Radon Testing

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into buildings from the soil. It has no smell, taste, or color, so the only reliable way to know your risk is to test. Because it tends to accumulate on lower levels, basements and ground-floor rooms can show elevated readings even when a home looks perfectly dry and clean.

Long-term exposure to radon is a significant health concern. Professional testing provides clear data on your home’s radon levels and guides next steps to keep your indoor air safe.

Why Radon Testing Matters

Health protection: Elevated radon increases lung-cancer risk; testing is the first line of defense.
Invisible and unpredictable: Any home can have high radon—new or old, with or without a basement.
Peace of mind for real estate: Testing is increasingly expected during purchases and sales.
Actionable thresholds: EPA recommends mitigation at 4 pCi/L or higher; many homeowners aim to reduce below 2 pCi/L.

What Our Radon Testing Service Includes

Professional consultation: Brief property review (foundation type, ventilation, well water, recent work) and testing plan.
Device placement: EPA-recognized short-term or long-term detectors placed in the lowest livable level under recommended closed-house conditions.
Monitoring period: Devices measure radon for the required duration (short-term: ~2–7 days; long-term: 3+ months when needed).
Certified results: Data is retrieved and analyzed (lab or calibrated digital), with a clear report comparing your readings to guidelines.
Recommendations: If levels are elevated, we outline mitigation options—from improved ventilation to sub-slab depressurization—tailored to your home.
Follow-up & support: Coordination with trusted mitigation professionals and optional post-mitigation re-testing to verify reduction below the action level.

The result is a straightforward, defensible assessment of your indoor air—so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
