Lung Radon’s Certified Process

Radon Inspections Made Simple and Thorough

When radon accumulates in homes, especially in basements and lower levels, it can reach high levels and pose significant health risks.

What Makes a Bad Radon Inspection?

Our inspection process was designed to avoid these common issues with radon inspections.

X Inaccurate Monitor Placement

Placing the monitor in non-representative areas, leading to unreliable readings.

X Non-Compliance with EPA Guidelines

Ignoring protocols and using poor-quality or outdated equipment, resulting in inaccurate data.

X Lack of Clear Communication and Follow-Up

Failing to explain the process, findings, or necessary mitigation steps, leaving you with unanswered questions.

Step 1

Preparing for Your Radon Inspection: Closed House Conditions

To ensure the most accurate radon readings during your inspection, we ask that you observe closed house conditions for 12 hours prior to our arrival. Think of it like fasting before a glucose test at the doctor’s office—it’s essential for getting the best results.

But don't worry, we’re here to help! We’ll send you a detailed email with easy-to-follow instructions on how to prepare your home. By working together, we can ensure a precise measurement of radon levels.

Conduct Radon Inspection: Deploy Continuos Monitoring System

Step 2

A radon inspection begins with a walkthrough of your home to identify the best locations for monitor placement, considering your home's layout and factors that might influence radon levels. Following strict guidelines, we place our continuous radon monitor in the optimal location within your home and perform a calibration check to ensure it's ready to collect data.

The monitor will remain in place for at least 48 hours to gather accurate radon level readings.

Step 3

Data Retrieval and Analysis

After the 48-hour monitoring period, we’ll come back to your home to collect the radon monitor. We then analyze the data gathered to create a comprehensive report on the radon levels in your home, highlighting any fluctuations and the average levels of radon exposure.

Step 4

Review Results and Provide Recommendations

After analyzing the data, we'll give you a detailed report explaining the radon levels in your home in an easy-to-understand manner. Based on the results, we'll offer personalized recommendations for any necessary steps to ensure your home is safe from radon exposure.

Secure a Healthy Future For Your Family

Your home's safety is our top priority, and our comprehensive radon inspection process ensures you receive the most accurate and reliable results.

Radon Inspection FAQs

We are here to be a resource of information and provide answers to the most frequently asked questions about radon.

  • Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

  • Radon can enter homes through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, sump pumps, and other openings in the structure. It can also be present in well water and released into the air when water is used.

  • Radon is dangerous because it can accumulate in enclosed spaces like homes and buildings. When inhaled, it can damage lung tissue and increase the risk of lung cancer, especially with long-term exposure.

  • Short-term and long-term Radon testing kits are available for purchase online or at hardware stores. These kits typically involve leaving a small device in your home for a specified period, then sending it to a lab for analysis. You can also hire a professional radon tester.

  • The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels in your home are 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. Lower levels are preferable, but any level of radon carries some risk.
