Radon Testing
What you can't see can hurt you
You
can't see it. You can't smell it. Many people don't even know whether it's in
their home. So why is it such a hot
topic?
Because
it can kill.
Since
you can't see or smell radon, special equipment is needed to detect it. National Inspection Services provides certified and accurate radon testing with results in as few as 48 hours. Our sensitive, computerized instruments use
pulsed-ion chamber technology to accurately detect airborne alpha
radiation. Our NEHA-NRPP training and certification are testament to our professionalism.
If You Are Selling a Home...
EPA
recommends that you test your home before putting it on the market and, if
necessary, lower your radon levels. Save
the test results and all information you have about steps that were taken to
fix any problems. This could be a positive selling point.
If You Are Buying a Home...
More
and more, informed buyers are having radon tests performed when considering the
purchase of a home.
EPA
recommends that you know what the indoor radon level is in any home you
consider buying. Ask the seller for their radon test results. If the home has a radon-reduction system, ask
the seller for information they have about the system.
If
the home has not been tested or has not been tested recently, you should have
it tested before you close.
If
you are having a new home built, there are features that can be incorporated
into your home during construction to reduce radon levels. However, testing is still prudent.
Finding
elevated concentrations of radon doesn't mean you should walk away from your
dream home! Radon reduction technology
has improved so much over the last few years that reducing radon is easy and
affordable.
