Do I Need a Radon Test
Radon is a colorless odorless gas that causes the risk of lung cancer when breathing in air contaminated with higher levels of the radon decay product.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 15% of lung cancers worldwide are caused by exposure to elevated indoor levels of Radon. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year in the US alone. Radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Surgeon General, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend that ALL homebuyers have an indoor radon test performed prior to purchase or taking occupancy and recommend having the radon levels professionally mitigated if elevated radon concentrations are found.
Our company is heavily vested in state of the art radon monitoring equipment which grabs twice the required samples while also engaging several on board environmental sensors. What this means for you is a massive amount of detailed data for us to analyze not only the gas entering the home but also relevant conditions of the home during the test period.
Upon its completion the data will be analyzed in our lab. A detailed report will be generated and sent your way along with an optional personal consultation to go over the results/recommendations.
