Why Radon Testing?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can enter homes through cracks in foundations, crawl spaces, sump pits, and other openings. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking.
Because radon has no smell, color, or taste, homeowners often have no idea it is present until their home is tested.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing every home below the third floor. Even neighboring homes can have dramatically different radon levels.
Whether you are buying, selling, or simply protecting your family, professional radon testing provides accurate information so you can make informed decisions about your property and the health of your loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a radon test take?
Most residential radon tests require a minimum of 48 hours to accurately measure indoor radon levels. Once the testing period is complete, we analyze the results and provide a detailed report.
What is considered a high radon level?
The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels measure 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher. Even lower levels carry some risk, and many homeowners choose mitigation whenever elevated radon is detected.
Should every home be tested?
Yes. Every home has the potential to contain elevated radon levels regardless of age, location, or construction type. Testing is the only way to know if radon is present.
What happens if high radon levels are found?
If elevated radon levels are detected, we will explain the results and recommend contacting a qualified radon mitigation professional. Most mitigation systems effectively reduce radon concentrations.
