Radon Testing

Radon is a radioactive gas that you cannot see or smell. But when you breathe in too much of it, your chances of lung cancer and other ailments increase. And while some amount of radon is acceptable in homes, elevated levels are problematic.

What level of radon is dangerous in a house?

Because the air pressure inside a house is typically lower than the pressure in the soil around its foundation, radon is drawn into the home through cracks in the foundation and other openings. Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter, or pCi/L. Levels of 4 pCi/L or higher are considered hazardous.

Short-term radon tests take between two for residential and individual self-testing to 90 days to collect readings from your home, depending on the manufacturer. You must then send these test kits to a laboratory to have the results calculated and returned to you.

"We want to let you know how thoroughly please we are with the service you provided us as we were building our home. Your expertise was apparent and your customer attentiveness was exemplary. One of the things I liked about your service, among many others, is how you were always on time when we were scheduled to meet at the site. Another is how you acted as an advocate for us. It almost seemed as if you are taking meticulous care of your own home and not someone else's. I appreciate how you got the city to put in a drain at the end of our street and how you contacted people in authoritative positions to be sure that certain things were accomplished and how you attended the drywall walk through on my behalf while I was out of town on business."
