Radon is a radioactive gas that is present in all homes but at different levels. Though it's naturally occurring, radon can be harmful to your health if present in high concentrations. We use the most comprehensive radon testing and reporting methods, and our experienced team of professionals will work with you to determine the best course of action to take if radon is found in your home. We understand the importance of peace of mind and are here to help you create a safe and healthy home for your family.

About Radon
The US EPA reports that "radon is an odorless, colorless gas which forms when uranium or thorium in rocks breaks down." Because of the time we spend indoors, the highest exposure is typically found in any property where high concentrations have accumulated. The radon enters through low-level cracks and holes in the foundation, making it the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers!
1 - Visual Inspections
Inspecting the interior and exterior of your property helps us with a proper deployment plan. Often times we can find the radon entry points.
2 - Draft Deployment Plan
We will want to place monitors in specific places based on the radon entry points to compare the continuous monitor results with other locations from the property.
3 - Seal Windows
We use non-residual stickers that tell us if a window has been opened and therefore would require retesting. These stickers are easily removed by us after the test.
4 - Deploy Test
We set up the continuous, electronic radon monitors in specific locations per our deployment plan, sealed the windows, and closed the doors. The test will run for 48-96 hours.
5 - Verbal Test Results
When retrieving
the monitors
we will be able to
tell you immediately
your average
radon level.
6 - Final Test Report
About 24 hours after the test results, we will email the appropriate parties an official radon report including geological data and next steps if higher than recommended levels are found.
