Why Radon Testing Is Crucial
Lung cancer is the most significant risk of prolonged exposure to high radon levels in your home. Radon gas affects human and animal residents, with exposure signs.
How Radon Inspections Work
During a radon inspection, our certified inspectors look through and around your home to pinpoint ideal entry points where radon can enter. Because radon is a gas, even small, barely noticeable crevices could be entry points. As disheartening as this can be, knowing the entry points can allow you to fix the issues to help prevent extensive radon gas build-up in your home in the future.
Short- and long-term radon testing is available, the former being approximately 2 days while the latter occurs over a few months or more. You must keep the windows and doors closed as much as possible during short-term testing to allow for an accurate reading.
Common Radon Entry Points
Since radon comes from the soil, it can easily enter homes, targeting cracks and crevices. Gaps around pipes, cracks in walls and floors, various holes and even construction joints are common entry points.
Preparing Your Home for Radon Testing
Seal up your home as much as possible for 12 hours or more in preparation for radon testing. The less outside air that can come in, the better. This helps our expert inspectors to get an accurate reading.
Some ways to prepare your home include:
- Keeping doors and windows closed
Turning off window fans, dehumidifiers, and humidifiers
