Windsor Radon Testing

What’s Radon?

Radon gas is a dangerous cause of cancer. It is well known to cause lung cancer in children and adults.

A large number of properties in the Windsor area have a radon saturation at or above the DNS action level.

Radon gas filters out of the topsoil, not the structure. No structure- new or old – is exempt from radon contamination.

Each home interacts with the ground underneath it differently. That is part of the reason why homes next to others may have radically different radon saturation.

Radon gas levels will fluctuate on different days and monthly within a normal range. A quick radon gas measurement measures a single day or week and is a reliable bellwether of if the house has a radon gas accumulation.

Radon has a half-life of about half a week. That means radon levels won’t be higher if the house is sealed for years or months.

Radon will seep in through every grounded vent in the structure such as sump drains, pipes, and even small gaps in the foundation.

Your method to know certainly the saturation of radon gas in the abode is to contract a radon test.

Radon Test Procedures

Probing a property for radon is an important process when completing a house purchase.

A radon gas expert will position the radon probes in the home. Radon detectors will be located on any level that touches the ground. Typically between one and three monitors are left in the house for the radon test.

The radon gas specialist will shut windows, shut the flue on the chimney, and make certain the heater or AC is running in the prescribed manner. Our radon gas technician will additionally treat any indicated window with tamper indication tape to confirm that closed home conditions are met.

The radon probes are left on the property for several days recording the saturation of radon gas in the house. A technician will revisit the home after the radon testing is complete to return the probes and generate a report.
