Radon is a colorless, odorless, and invisible gas formed by the decay of uranium and radium in the earth’s soil. No level of radon exposure is considered completely safe. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in America. Radon testing is recommended by the EPA, the Surgeon General, the American Lung Association, and Virginia Department of Health.
Every home is susceptible to radon, even new home construction. Radon is unpredictable, and can be found from Fredericksburg to Fairfax, and all throughout the United States. Did you know that houses built next to each other, at the same time, same company, still may have very different radon levels? It’s true and most of Virginia is at risk of having moderately high radon levels. Not every property has a radon mitigation system. Not required by law, though it is highly recommended to have.
Our purpose is to serve the residents of Northern Virginia with affordable and high quality home inspection services. We break down our reports to show easy-to-understand facts.
If you’re interested in having your own home tested, a popular option is to purchase a Do-It-Yourself test kit. At home kits cost approximately $50.00. They will not be useful for a real estate transaction. We will conduct a legitimate agreement and give you a “Certified Radon Report”. Radon levels naturally fluctuate, affected by weather conditions, so your professional home inspector conducts the test over a 48-hour time frame. The property being tested should be closed for a minimum of 12 hours prior to testing. Please note that given the radon levels of the property it should never deter you from making the right investment. We can make accommodations and possible negotiations on property costs.
