Professional Radon Testing in Raleigh, Clayton, Garner & the Triangle Area

RADON. What is it and how to test for it?

​

Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas. You can’t see radon. And you can’t smell it or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home. Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. That’s because when you breathe air containing radon, you can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, your risk of lung cancer is especially high.

Radon Testing

 

During real estate transactions all radon testing is SHORT-TERM TESTING. 

Because radon levels tend to vary from day to day and season to season, a short-term test is less likely than a long-term test to tell you your year-round average radon level. If you need results quickly, however, a short-term test followed by a second short-term test may be used to decide whether and who gets to carry the cost for fixing the radon at the house.

 

We can provide short term testing using the most sensitive continuous radon monitors and get you results in as fast as 48hours.
