Radon Testing Denver

What’s Radon?

Radon gas is a Class A carcinogen. Radon gas is known to lead to lung cancer in children and adults.

38%+ of houses in the Denver area have a radon gas level at or above the carcinogenic amount.

Radon naturally occurs in the dirt, not the structure. No house- new or old – is immune to radon contamination.

Every property interacts with the soil underneath it in a different way. This is why properties next door to each other may have dramatically different radon concentrations.

Radon accumulation will shift daily and monthly within a reasonable range. A one-time radon gas measurement measures a single day or week and is a reliable indicator of if the structure has a radon gas saturation.

Radon gas has a half-life of only days. Accordingly, radon gas levels will not be any greater if the property is enclosed for days, months, or years.

How Does Radon Enter the structure?

No property is entirely gas-proof.

Vapors will infiltrate through each ground-facing gap in the house such as drains, pipeworks, and even small cracks in the concrete work.

Your method to know certainly the concentration of radon gas in the house is to contract a radon test.

Radon Gas Testing Procedures

Inspecting a property for radon is an important process when offered with a real estate sale.

Our radon gas technician will install the radon monitors in the structure. Radon detectors will be placed in crawl spaces and on the first floor. Typically, a few devices are left in the house for radon gas testing.

Our radon gas professional will seal every window and door, seal the flue on the chimney, and make certain the heater or AC is functioning in the prescribed manner. The radon gas specialist will additionally mark all required windows with tamper indication tape to ensure that closed-house standards are met.

The radon devices remain in the building for a few days to measure the prevalence of radon gas in the home. A professional will revisit the house after the radon testing is completed to recover the monitors and create a report.
