RADON TESTING IS DISEASE PREVENTION.
Radon Testing for Richmond, VA
Radon testing for residential homes, commercial buildings, new construction homes,
and real estate transactions throughout Richmond and the surrounding areas.
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers worldwide.
It's estimated that radon exposure is related to
21,000 cases of lung cancer each year in the United States;
700 of those cases are attributed to residents in Virginia each year.
The first way to protect against elevated levels is to perform a radon measurement.
What is radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas. You cannot taste it, smell it, or see it.
It's created by the natural decay of uranium in the ground soil. Radon is naturally released into the air, and depending on the building structure, it can become trapped and concentrated in your home or business.
Factors that influence radon build-up include ventilation, cracks, openings, and even well water.
Radon is Present
in Homes & Other Buildings
Because radon is everywhere, it's important not to disregard the EPA's recommendations.
Radon becomes a serious health hazard when elevated levels are trapped in your breathing space indoors.
That's why it's important to test radon regularly (approximately every 18-28 months).
Should your home or building have elevated radon levels, the steps to reduce the radon levels are often simple and effective.
Testing provides peace of mind, whether your test indicates low levels in your breathing space or the need for remediation to reduce elevated radon levels.

Do I really need radon testing?
Not to be dramatic ... but
radon testing can literally save the lives of your loved ones (including your pets).
Radon occurs naturally, so we breathe it in every day.
As you inhale, radon particles are deposited in the lungs.
Non-elevated levels are not an immediate health risk.
However, if radon becomes contained and builds, elevated levels become a significant health risk.
The only way to know your levels is to test for them.
