Greeley Radon Testing

Why Care About Radon?

Radon gas is a dangerous carcinogen. Radon is scientifically proven to lead to lung cancer in humans.

Many homes in the Greeley area have a radon gas concentration near or above the DNS action level.

Radon gas filters out of the silt, not the house. No structure, new or old, is fully shielded from radon gas infiltration.

Every house interfaces with the ground underneath it uniquely. This is part of the reason why houses next door to one another have significantly different radon concentrations.

Radon gas saturation will change every day and monthly inside a reasonable range. A short-term radon measurement measures a single day or week and is a good bellwether of if the home has a radon accumulation.

Radon gas has a dangerous duration of 3.8 days. radon gas accumulation won’t be any higher if the property is sealed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Penetrate a structure?

No property is completely airtight.

Vapors may enter through any grounded vent in the home such as sump pumps, utility connections, and slight flaws in the foundation’s concrete.

The technique to know with confidence the levels of radon gas in the home is to order a radon test.

Our Radon Gas Testing Procedure

Probing a property for radon gas is a unique service when done as a part of a house sale.

Our radon expert will place the radon gas analyzers in the home. Radon gas monitors will be dropped off on any level that touches the ground. Typically, multiple probes are placed on the property for radon gas testing.

The radon gas expert will seal windows, close the damper on the chimney, and make sure the HVAC system is running in the prescribed manner. Your radon gas professional will also treat any indicated window with tamper-proof tape to confirm that closed house standards are upheld.

The radon monitors stay in the house for two or three days recording the saturation of radon gas in the house. A technician will come back to the home once the radon test is completed to remove the probes and write a report.
