Radon Testing Westminster

What is Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common carcinogen. It is proven to cause lung cancer in people.

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

Radon filters out of the topsoil, not the building. No property, new or old, is fully shielded from radon gas intrusion.

Each house interfaces with the topsoil beneath it differently. This is part of the reason why homes adjoining one another have significantly different radon accumulation.

Radon accumulation will shift every day and monthly inside of an acceptable range. A one-time radon test is a snapshot and a reliable bellwether of if the structure has a radon accumulation.

Radon gas has a half-life of only days. Accordingly, radon gas saturation won’t be higher if the home is closed for months or years.

No dwelling is entirely draft-proof.

Gaseous contaminants can enter through every penetration in the property such as sump drains, pipeworks, and even minor flaws in the foundation’s concrete.

Your method to know with confidence the accumulation of radon gas in the property is to have a radon test.
