Health Benefits of Radon Testing
Testing your home for radon provides critical health protection for you and your family. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the leading cause among non-smokers. Because radon is colorless and odorless, elevated levels often go unnoticed without proper testing.
A professional radon test helps identify unsafe concentrations early, allowing you to take action before long-term exposure occurs. Reducing high radon levels can significantly lower the risk of lung cancer and other respiratory health concerns. Radon testing helps you:
Protect your family from prolonged exposure to a known carcinogen
Reduce long-term lung cancer risk
Create a healthier indoor living environment
Make informed decisions about mitigation and home safety
Regular radon testing is a proactive step toward protecting your health and ensuring your home remains a safe place to live.
Enhanced Safety
Testing for radon helps reduce the risk of serious health issues caused by long-term exposure to this harmful gas. Since radon cannot be seen or smelled, testing is the only reliable way to confirm whether your home is safe. Identifying elevated levels allows you to take timely action to protect your family and improve indoor air quality.
Peace of Mind
Knowing your home has been professionally tested for radon brings confidence and reassurance. Accurate results remove uncertainty and help you feel secure about the air you breathe every day. With clear information, you can trust that your living environment supports your family’s health and well-being.
Added Home Value
A completed radon test and any necessary mitigation can make your home more attractive to buyers. Many buyers look for homes with documented radon testing as part of their decision process. Addressing radon concerns early can help support smoother negotiations and greater buyer confidence, while keeping your family safe in the meantime.
Safety Expectations
Regular radon testing helps ensure your home meets local health and safety expectations. Staying informed about levels can prevent unexpected issues during real estate transactions. This proactive approach helps protect you from delays or complications when buying or selling a home
Low Testing Cost
Radon testing is a simple step that can prevent far greater health and financial concerns in the future. Early detection allows you to address elevated levels before they become a larger issue. Testing now helps you make informed decisions and avoid more extensive problems later.
Simple Process
Getting your home tested for radon is quick and straightforward. Our experience and certified home inspectors handle the process efficiently and provide clear, easy-to-understand results. You will know exactly where your home stands and what steps, if any, should be taken next.
Step 1: Prepare
Before testing begins, your home needs minimal preparation. All windows and exterior doors should remain closed for at least 12 hours prior to the test to ensure accurate results. This creates stable indoor conditions and allows the test to measure true radon levels.
Step 2: Test
Our inspector places a professional radon testing device in your home and leaves it in place for 48 hours. During this time, the device continuously measures radon levels under normal living conditions. The process is unobtrusive and requires no disruption to your daily routine.
Step 3: Results
After the testing period, the inspector downloads the data and reviews the results. You receive a clear, easy-to-understand electronic report with no unnecessary delays. We explain your radon levels and outline any recommended next steps if elevated levels are detected.
Common Radon Testing Questions
Radon testing measures the amount of radon gas inside your home. Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, and odorless gas that can pose serious health risks with long-term exposure. Testing helps determine whether radon levels are elevated and if mitigation may be needed.
Our inspector places a professional radon testing device in the lowest livable area of your home and leaves it in place for 48 hours. The device continuously measures radon levels during normal living conditions. After the test period, the results are downloaded and delivered electronically in a clear, easy-to-understand report.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action when radon levels reach 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Lower levels are generally acceptable but should be monitored, especially if changes are made to the home.
Yes, radon levels can fluctuate due to weather conditions, ventilation patterns, and structural changes to the home. Regular testing helps ensure radon levels remain within a safe range.
Radon exposure can be reduced through professionally installed mitigation systems that safely vent radon gas from the home. Ongoing testing is also important to confirm the system is working effectively.
If testing shows elevated radon levels, consult a qualified professional to discuss mitigation options. Addressing the issue promptly helps protect indoor air quality and your family’s long-term health.
