When it comes to owning a home, keeping your family safe can feel like a struggle. With lead, asbestos, radon, mold and other toxic substances threatening your health and wellbeing, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Take a deep breath. Even if it’s scary, understanding radon testing can be simpler than it seems.
What Is Radon Testing?
While radon may sound chemical and alien, it’s actually a naturally existing gas present in the soil. Of course, that doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous. Radon can be harmful if high levels of the gas get trapped inside your home, so radon testing is key to making sure you can continue to breathe easy.
Because radon is an invisible gas, radon testing is the only way to know if there are unhealthy levels of radon in your home.
Do You Need Radon Testing?
If you’re moving into a new home, you should include radon testing as part of your pre-purchase inspection checks. But even if you aren’t moving to a new location, you should also perform radon testing after any renovations, if your home has never been tested for radon, and every two years to ensure no change in radon levels has occurred.
At Precision Home Inspection, we can perform radon testing on your home and give you an accurate report on radon levels. If elevated levels are found, don’t worry. A radon reduction system can be installed so you can continue to breathe comfortably in the clean air of your own home. Call us today about radon testing for your home and enjoy safe, fresh air and greater peace of mind.
