Radon Testing Englewood

What Should I Know About Radon Gas?

Radon is dangerous cancer-causing chemical. Radon is known to lead to lung cancer in people.

Many properties in the Englewood area have a radon level above the dangerous amount.

Radon naturally occurs in the topsoil, not the home. No home- new or old – is exempt from radon gas infiltration.

Each and every property meshes with the topsoil uniquely. This is part of the reason why homes adjacent to one another have dramatically different radon levels.

Radon gas concentration will rise or fall daily and seasonally inside a normal range. A quick radon test measures a single day or week and a good indicator of if the structure has a radon saturation.

Radon has a lifespan of only a few days. That means radon gas saturation won’t be greater if the property is enclosed for months or years.

How Does Radon Penetrate the dwelling?

No dwelling is 100% hermetically sealed.

Radon gas will infiltrate through any grounded vent in the house such as drains, plumbing, and slight cracks in the foundation’s concrete.

The method to know with certainty the levels of radon gas in the structure is to have a radon test.

Our Radon Test Method

Measuring a house for radon is a special procedure when completed as a part of a real estate transaction.

Your radon specialist will situate the radon detectors in the dwelling. Radon detectors will be installed on any level that touches the ground. Normally between 1 and 3 probes are left in the house for the radon gas measurement.

Our radon gas professional will shut every window, shut the damper on the chimney, and make sure the air conditioning is functioning in the standard manner. Your radon gas technician will additionally mark every indicated window with tamper-proof tape to make sure that ventilation standards are upheld.

The radon probes remain in the property for 2-3 days to measure the prevalence of radon gas in the structure. A specialist will revisit the home after the radon test is finished to recover the probes and generate a report.
