Radon Testing

Radon is the 2nd leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Make sure you and your family are protected by getting your property inspected.

Why Are Radon Tests Important? Understanding The Benefits

The biggest benefit of radon testing is peace of mind. Radon has no smell, taste, or color, and beyond contributing to the development of lung cancer, radon exposure has no symptoms that can be identified by a doctor. That means a radon test is the only way to make sure your home has a safe level of radon.

Radon tests can also save you money if you’re trying to sell your home, because you can provide information about radon levels to potential buyers, and ensure you meet local codes related to radon compliance. The EPA also recommends that you test for radon when buying a home. That way, if high levels of radon are detected, you can request that the home seller install mitigation features, or you can back out of the purchase by utilizing your home inspection contingency.

No matter the area, age or style of home, radon can be found, meaning every home should have regular radon tests scheduled. Keep yourself, family and guests safe from this cancer-causing gas with a radon test from Blue Guardian Home Inspections. Call to schedule today.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does radon enter?

As a gas, radon can enter any home through cracks, holes or any other opening in your foundation.

Should I test the home I’m buying?

The EPA recommends that all homes be tested for radon. Testing during the inspection process can tell you whether remediation steps are warranted.

How long does the test take?

Radon testing takes 48 hours. We use state of the art electronic equipment. Results and a full written report are emailed to you within a few hours after completion of the test.

How often should I test my home for radon?

The EPA recommends that a home be tested every two years. Homes settle and cracks in the foundation can open up.

What if the results come back high?

If the results come back over 4.0 picocuries (pCi/L), the home should be mitigated by a licensed radon mitigation company. Thankfully we can discuss this process with you and recommend some local mitigation companies.
