Radon Testing Roxborough Park CO

What Should I Know About Radon?

Radon is a Class A carcinogen. Radon gas is proven to instigate lung cancer in people.

A large number of homes in the Roxborough Park CO area have a radon gas level near or above the DNS action level.

Radon comes from the dirt, not the building. No structure, new or old, is exempt from radon contamination.

Each property interfaces with the topsoil differently. This is part of the reason why houses next door to each other often have significantly different radon gas concentrations.

Radon gas saturation will fluctuate daily and seasonally inside a safe range. A one-time radon gas sample is a snapshot and a dependable indicator of whether or not the land has a radon gas saturation.

Radon gas has a half-life of only a few days. This means that radon concentration will not be worse if the structure is closed for years or months.

How Does Radon Seep into your dwelling?

No property is sealed.

Vapors will seep in through each ground-facing gap in the home such as sump drains, pipes, and even small imperfections in the foundation’s concrete.

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

Our Radon Test Procedure

Probing a house for radon is an important service when delivering a property transaction.

Our radon expert will situate the radon gas monitors in the dwelling. Radon detectors will be located on any level that touches the ground. For most properties between one and three devices are left in the structure for the radon testing.

The radon gas professional will shut every window, shut the vent on the chimney, and make certain the heating and cooling system is operating in the standard manner. Your radon gas technician will also treat all indicated windows with tamper indication tape to make sure that draft requirements are maintained.

The radon monitors are left in the structure for several days to measure the saturation of radon gas in the structure. An expert will come back to the home once the radon test is done to remove the probes and create a report.
