Home Sweet Home Inspections provides state of the art radon measurement and analysis. We use a continuous radon monitoring process with a monitor that is put in place for a minimum of 48 hours. The monitor records an air sample every hour. An analysis and results can be provided the same day the monitor is retrieved from the property. This type of measurement is much more informative than over the counter retail type test kits.
Radon gas in a residential structure can present a serious health hazard. Radon is second only to smoking as the leading cause of lung cancer. Knowing this, it is imperative that home owners be aware of the radon level in their homes. Excessive radon levels should be mitigated to provide the healthiest, safest environment possible for your loved ones. Radon in your home is something you can control for a minimal expense. If you wouldn't leave your family in a room full of toxic smoke products why would you leave them occupy a house with excessive radon levels? Basement areas are used for bedrooms, living areas, family rooms and game rooms. When spending this much time in your basement why not be sure it is as safe as possible. Having said that, radon is not exclusive to basement areas, radon can be an issue at any level, even in the living areas of slab homes and homes with crawl spaces.
