Radon Measurement
Why test for Radon? Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that enters homes through ground soil and is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the world, behind cigarette smoking. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends all homes be tested for radon, even homes that are equipped with reduction systems. Testing for Radon prior to purchasing your home will provide peace of mind knowing cancer-causing radon gas is not at high levels and can save a home buyer from future mitigation expenses.
