Radon is a radioactive gas that can be found in the air and in water, and is a leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and enters a house through small cracks and openings.

Our Certified Radon Technician will utilize a professional Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) which is calibrated annually by a certified laboratory.  The home should be under “Closed House Conditions” for the entire time, including 12 hours prior to the test start. Occupants may still enter and exit the home but keeping open doors and windows to a minimum. Your radon test results will be appended to your Home Inspection Report.

If radon levels are tested to be too high for safe occupancy of your home, it will need to be reduced. Radon mitigation is a fairly simple process of installing a vent pipe from underneath the concrete slab or crawlspace to outside the home. The harmful gas then dissipates into the air becoming harmless.
