Labs: Radon Testing
Any house may have a radon problem. In fact, EPA believes that 1 out of every 15 homes in America has elevated radon levels! The concentration of radon in a home depends on many factors; relevant factors include local geology, the home's construction, and the property's condition. Radon concentrations build up in underground soils and rocks. Cracks and fissures enable the radon to move through the ground the same way a conduit or pipe allows gas or liquid to move. Finding its way through building cracks and openings into enclosed areas, high concentrations of radon can build up in your home, and pose increased lung cancer risks according EPA, the American Lung Association and the National Environmental Health Association. Testing a home before you buy it may save you thousands of dollars in corrective measures due to elevated levels. All of our inspectors have been trained to utilize the latest technology for radon testing in order to ensure your home is safe from radon hazards. Our inspectors utilize passive devices as well as active electronic continuing radon monitoring devices. All tests conducted in accordance with EPA require testing devices to remain in the home for a minimum of 48 hours. Many of our inspectors will set the testing devices 2-3 days prior to the inspection and provide instant results during the building inspection. Radiation Data Accustar |
