Radon Testing Atlanta, GA

What’s Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common cause of cancer. Radon gas is known to instigate lung cancer in humans.  Many houses in the Atlanta area have a radon gas concentration near or above the DNS action amount.  Radon gas comes from the silt, not the structure. No structure- new or old – is immune to radon gas intrusion.

Each and every house meshes with the ground in a different manner. This is part of the reason why properties adjoining each other may have radically different radon gas accumulation. Radon gas concentration will change on different days and with the seasons inside a safe range. 

A short-term radon sample measures a small time period and a dependable indicator of if the land has a radon problem. Radon gas has a lifespan of only a few days. As such, radon gas concentration will not be any greater if the home is enclosed for days, months, or years.

How Does Radon Seep into your home?

It may surprise you to know that homes are not 100% hermetically sealed.  Gas will suffuse through every grounded vent in the home such as sump pumps, utility connections, and invisible imperfections in the concrete work.

Your method to know with certainty the levels of radon in the abode is to have a radon test.

The radon gas professional will close every window, shut the damper on the fireplace, and confirm the heater or AC is running in the prescribed manner. Your radon expert will also seal every indicated window with tamper indication tape to confirm that draft conditions are maintained.
