Radon

It's Simple..

  • Radon gas causes lung cancer. 
  • It also costs between $1500.00 to $2000.00 to correct in an average basement home. 

Getting a test is cost effective and fast. 48 hours is all it takes. 

 

 

Our radon tests are performed using quality electronic monitors from Rad Star. Testing takes approximately 48 hours and then the data can be retrieved from the units. 

 

   

       

                                                                

   

We are certified with the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants. Radon testing is done by either an electronic monitoring device, which usually takes 48 hours to test, or a small test kit that is left in the home for a short period of time, then sent to a lab for testing. Just click on the radon info tab to learn more.
We can provide you with services available to install Radon Mitigation systems. 

 Is Radon Killing you and your family?
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that comes out of the ground. It is known to create major health problems and cause cancer with prolonged exposure. Some houses can trap radon due to lack of ventilation, as the gas comes out of the ground and into the home. Below is a map provided by the EPA that shows what areas of the country have the highest levels of Radon. As you can see we live in one of the highest zones.
