Is Your Home Safe?
Why should I test my home for radon?
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, after smoking. It can cause lung cancer in anyone.
What is radon?
Radon is a gas that you cannot see, smell or taste. It is produced by the natural decay of uranium in the soil. Radon is in the ground naturally.
How does radon get into my home?
Radon enters homes through cracks in the foundation, floors, and walls. It can also enter through sump pumps, drains, and other openings.
Testing is the only way to find out if your home has high radon levels.
Radon testing is a simple and affordable way to protect yourself and your family from lung cancer.
Our Radon Gas Test determines if your home’s radon gas level exceeds action levels established by the EPA.
- We place our radon monitor in the home; our monitor stays in the home for 48+ hours. After we pick up the radon monitor, we send you the report.
- If the home exceeds the EPA’s action level, we provide you with recommendations and next steps.
- Our technicians are certified by The National Radon Safety Board (NRSB)
