Radon Measurement & Testing
Protecting Your Home Starts Below Ground: The Critical Importance of Radon Measurement
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless—yet it poses a serious health risk. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for over 21,000 deaths annually.
Radon enters homes through cracks in foundations, construction joints, and gaps around service pipes. Even new, well-sealed homes can have elevated radon levels. The only way to know if your home is safe is through accurate and professional radon measurement.
The Value of Radon Testing for Homeowners and Buyers
- Health & Safety: Long-term exposure to radon can significantly increase the risk of lung cancer. Identifying elevated radon levels early allows homeowners to mitigate the danger and protect their families.
- Real Estate Advantage: For home buyers, a radon test offers peace of mind. For sellers, offering a recent radon test result demonstrates transparency and can help avoid last-minute complications during transactions.
- Informed Decision-Making: Whether buying, selling, or simply evaluating your current home, radon measurement empowers you with critical environmental data that can influence home maintenance and improvement decisions.
- Cost-Efficient Prevention: Early detection of elevated radon levels allows for relatively simple and cost-effective mitigation before it becomes a more complex and costly issue.
