Radon Testing West Pleasant View

What’s Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common-place cancer-causing agent. It is scientifically proven to lead to lung cancer in people.

A large number of properties in the West Pleasant View area have a radon level at or above the DNS action limit.

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

Every home interfaces with the ground underneath it in a different manner. That is why houses adjacent to each other have significantly different radon levels.

Radon gas levels will change daily and with the seasons inside an acceptable range. A one-time radon measurement measures a small period and is a reliable bellwether of whether or not the property has a radon gas accumulation.

Radon has a half-life of about half a week. That means radon gas levels will not be any greater if the structure is closed for years or months.

How Does Radon Gas Infiltrate your home?

No dwelling is gas-proof.

Gas may suffuse through any grounded vent in the home such as drains, plumbing, and even minor imperfections in the foundation.

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

Radon Test Method

Sampling a house for radon is a unique procedure when completed concurrently with a house sale.

A radon gas technician will situate the radon probes in the home. Radon gas analyzers are installed on any level that touches the ground. Normally multiple analyzers are installed in the property for the radon gas test.

The radon gas specialist will seal every window and door, shut the damper on the chimney, and make certain the heater or AC is operating in the standard manner. The radon professional will additionally seal every required window with tamper-proof tape to make sure that draft standards are maintained.

The radon gas devices remain in the property for 2-3 days measuring the prevalence of radon gas in the home. An expert will come back to the house once the radon measurement is complete to return the monitors and write a report.
