Radon Testing Sedalia CO

What is Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common-place cause of cancer. It is proven to lead to lung cancer in humans.

Many homes in the Sedalia CO area have a radon gas saturation higher than the actionable limit.

Radon seeps out of the silt, not the home. No property, newly built or longstanding, is fully encapsulated against radon infiltration.

Each and every home meshes with the soil underneath it uniquely. That is why homes adjacent to one another have majorly different radon concentration.

Radon gas levels will change every day and monthly inside of a acceptable range. A short-term radon gas measurement is a snapshot and a accurate metric of whether or not the property has a radon gas saturation.

Radon has a lifespan of about half of a week. radon gas accumulation will not be any higher if the structure is sealed for months or years.

How Does Radon Enter the property?

It may surprise you to know that homes are not completely gas-proof.

Radon can seep in through any grounded vent in the property such as sump pits, plumbing, and slight gaps in the foundation.

Your method to know certainly the levels of radon in the house is to have a radon test.

Your Radon Gas Testing Steps

Measuring a property for radon is a unique process when completed as a part of a house sale.

Our radon gas expert will position the radon detectors in the property. Radon monitors are placed in crawl spaces, the level above crawl spaces, and any room touching earth. Typically several monitors are installed in the house for the radon gas measurement.

Your radon expert will close every window and door, seal the damper on the chimney, and make certain the HVAC system is operating in the prescribed manner. Your radon specialist will also seal every required window with anti-tampering tape to ensure that closed house standards are upheld.

The radon gas monitors are left in the property for several days analyzing the levels of radon gas in the building. A technician will return to the home once the radon testing is completed to remove the analyzers and create a report.
