Radon Testing Superior

What is Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common-place cancer-causing agent. Radon is known to lead to lung cancer in humans.

38%+ of properties in the Superior area have a radon concentration at or above the dangerous amount.

Radon gas comes from the silt, not the house. No house, newly built or longstanding, is immune to radon.

Every home meshes with the dirt underneath it in a different way. That is why houses next door to one another often have significantly different radon gas levels.

Radon gas saturation will fluctuate every day and seasonally inside of a normal range. A short-term radon sample measures a single day or week and is a solid indicator of whether or not the property has a radon gas issue.

Radon has a lifespan of only a few days. That means radon gas concentration will not be worse if the structure is enclosed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Infiltrate a house?

No house is absolutely air-tight.

Vapors will suffuse through each ground-facing gap in the building such as drains, plumbing, and slight imperfections in the foundation’s concrete.

Your way to know confidently the levels of radon in the house is to order a radon test.

Radon Testing Procedure

Sampling a property for radon gas is an important process when delivered alongside a real estate sale.

Your radon gas expert will place the radon gas analyzers in the home. Radon gas probes will be dropped off in crawl spaces, the level above crawl spaces, and any room touching the earth.

On average between one and three monitors are located in the home for the radon measurement.

Our radon gas specialist will seal every window, shut the damper on the chimney, and ensure the heating and cooling system is running in the standard manner.

Our radon gas specialist will additionally seal all required windows with anti-tampering tape to ensure that closed home conditions are met.

The radon monitors are left in the home for two or three days to analyze the amount of radon gas in the property. A technician will return to the property after the radon test is done to return the analyzers and write a report.
