Radon Testing
$75 Flat Fee
If you are buying a home or selling your home, have it tested for radon. Fix the home if the radon level is 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk, and in many cases, may be reduced. Radon gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant health risk to families all over the country. It's important to know that this threat is completely preventable. Radon can be detected with a simple test and fixed through well-established venting techniques.
Alarming Facts
About Radon
The scariest part about radon is that many homeowners are unaware of the potential dangers of the gas. Why should we care? Below are a few alarming facts about this unseen danger:
- Radon is a radioactive gas that is undetectable by the naked eye - you can't see, smell, or taste it. To know if it is in your home, a professional radon test must be performed.
- Following tobacco, radon poisoning is the No. 2 cause of lung cancer according to the Surgeon General.
- An estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths are reported every year due to radon exposure according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
- The EPA estimates that one in every 3 homes in our area has elevated levels of radon. This means many homeowners are affected and don't know about it.
