Garden City Radon Testing

Why Care About Radon Gas?

Radon is a common cause of cancer. Radon is well known to instigate lung cancer in children and adults.

38%+ of properties in the Garden City area have a radon gas concentration near or above the carcinogenic limit.

Radon seeps out of the dirt, not the home. No structure- new or old – is fully shielded from radon gas contamination.

Every home meshes with the soil underneath it differently. This is why houses adjacent to each other have dramatically different radon levels.

Radon levels will rise or fall daily and monthly inside an acceptable range. A one-time radon test is a snapshot and a reliable metric of if the land has a radon accumulation.

Radon gas has a dangerous duration of only days. Accordingly, radon gas saturation will not be greater if the property is closed for years, months, or days.

How Does Radon Gas Seep into a structure?

No house is airtight.

Vapors will infiltrate through every grounded vent in the property such as sump pits, utility connections, and even small flaws in the concrete foundation.

Your way to know confidently the accumulation of radon in the house is to have a radon test.

Radon Test Procedure

Probing a dwelling for radon is a unique service when delivering a real estate sale.

A radon gas expert will position the radon analyzers in the house. Radon gas monitors are installed on any level that touches the ground. Typically up to three probes are left in the property for the radon gas analysis.

Your radon specialist will close all windows, seal the damper on the chimney, and make certain the heating and cooling system is operating in the prescribed manner. Your radon gas technician will additionally seal all indicated windows with tamper-proof tape to confirm that draft requirements are met.

The radon gas probes are stored on the property for a few days to record the amount of radon gas in the home. An expert will return to the building after the radon measurement is done to remove the analyzers and write a report.
