Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that can be harmful if exposed for prolonged periods of time. It is odorless, tasteless, and naked to the human eye, which means it can be difficult to detect, especially if you’re buying a new property.
We use state of the art technology for radon testing. Our Continuous Radon Monitors (CRM) allows you to see hour by hour radon readings. Our computerized monitors allow for instantaneous results after the full 48 hour test completes.
How We Test For Radon
Our Primary Method For Testing is using a Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM).
These approved devices:
Our secondary method of testing for Radon is using Charcoal Liquid Scintillation Vials (LS Vial)

In some areas, Radon tests are required. Since one out of three homes test high for radon in our area, Radon testing is always recommended.
Radon tests are an affordable way to test your home for radioactive hazards.
Radon is released naturally from the decomposition of uranium in soil. rocks, and water. Afterward, Radon finds it’s way into your home and can have harmful effects if not remediated.
The EPA recommends remediation if your home exceeds a 4 pCi/L. Radon Risks are based on your long term exposure. Since Mitigation is reasonable in price, the EPA recommends considering a fix between 2-4pCi/L.
Exposure to Radon increases the risk of lung cancer, especially in those who smoke.
Radon kills more people than drunk drivers per year.
Radon remediation devices work to help reduce levels to a safe amount. Before seeking one of these devices, it is recommended that you test you home to see if one of those is necessary.
If you have Radon levels, it can find its way into your home’s water supply if your water comes from a well. There are treatment options available that we can recommend.
