The Problem: An Invisible Threat Beneath Your Property
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless — making it impossible to detect without professional testing. The EPA identifies radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for an estimated 21,000 deaths each year.
Radon seeps into buildings through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, construction joints, and any opening where the structure contacts the ground. Every building is at risk, regardless of age, construction type, or location.

Our Radon Testing Process
Device Placement
We place a professional radon testing device in the lowest livable area of your property.
Monitoring Period
The device collects data over a specified period to measure average radon concentrations.
Lab Analysis
Data is analyzed to determine your property's radon level in picocuries per liter (pCi/L).
Report & Recommendations
Your report includes measured levels, EPA threshold comparisons, and next-step recommendations.
Understanding Radon Levels
The EPA recommends taking action if your radon level reaches 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Many health experts suggest considering mitigation at levels as low as 2.0 pCi/L. The average indoor radon level in the U.S. is about 1.3 pCi/L. Testing is the only way to know your level.
Who Needs Radon Testing?
The EPA recommends that every home be tested for radon, regardless of location. Radon testing is especially important when buying or selling a home, if you have never tested your property, after any major structural changes to your foundation, and for schools, daycares, and commercial buildings.
Turnaround Time
Most results delivered within 48 to 72 hours after the monitoring period is complete.
