Radon Testing Broomfield

What Should I Know About Radon Gas?

Radon is a common-place cancer-causing chemical. Radon is proven to instigate lung cancer in humans.

38%+ of homes in the Broomfield area have a radon level at or above the dangerous amount.

Radon comes from the dirt, not the house. No house- new or old – is immune to radon infiltration.

Every property interacts with the ground underneath it uniquely. That is part of the reason why homes next to each other have majorly different radon gas accumulation.

Radon gas levels will fluctuate on different days and seasonally inside an acceptable range. Quick radon measurement is a snapshot and a solid indicator of whether or not the home has a radon gas problem.

Radon has a dangerous duration of only a few days. This means that radon levels won’t be greater if the property is sealed for days, months, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Filter into your home?

It may surprise you to know that homes are not absolutely sealed.

Vapors will enter through any grounded vent in the building such as sump drains, pipes, and minor cracks in the foundation.

Your way to know with certainty the accumulation of radon in the property is to run a radon test.

Radon Test Procedures

Inspecting a house for radon is a special service when delivered concurrently with a real estate sale.

Your radon gas expert will place the radon detectors in the home. Radon gas analyzers will be located in crawl spaces and on the first floor. On average between 1 and 3 monitors are left on the property for the radon testing.

The radon gas technician will shut every window, close the damper on the chimney, and ensure the heater or AC is functioning in the required manner. Our radon gas expert will also seal all indicated windows with tamper indication tape to make sure that ventilation requirements are upheld.

The radon monitors are stored on the property for two or three days to record the amount of radon gas in the home. A specialist will come back to the home once the radon testing is completed to recover the monitors and create a report.
