Buckeye WA Radon Testing

What is Radon?

Radon is a common carcinogen. Radon gas is proven to cause lung cancer in children and adults.

38%+ of houses in the Buckeye WA area have a radon gas saturation at or above the actionable limit.

Radon gas filters out of the dirt, not the house. No home, new or old, is exempt from radon gas contamination.

Every property meshes with the soil in a different manner. That is why properties adjacent to one another may have significantly different radon saturation.

Radon gas levels will rise or fall daily and seasonally within an acceptable range. A quick radon gas test measures a small time period and is an accurate indicator of whether or not the house has a radon issue.

Radon has a dangerous duration of only a few days. This means that radon accumulation won’t be worse if the home is closed for days, months, or years.

How Does Radon Seep into the Property?

Houses are not supposed to be absolutely hermetically sealed.

Gas may infiltrate through every grounded vent in the property such as drains, utility connections, and invisible flaws in the foundation’s concrete.

The method to know with certainty the levels of radon in the abode is to contract a radon test.

Radon Testing Procedure

Testing a house for radon gas is an important procedure when done concurrently with a house transaction.

Your radon gas expert will install the radon gas probes in the home. Radon monitors will be installed on any level that touches the ground. On average between 1 and 3 probes are located in the structure for the radon measurement.

The radon gas technician will seal all windows, shut the vent on the fireplace, and confirm the heater or AC is operating in the prescribed manner. Our radon gas specialist will additionally treat all required windows with anti-tampering tape to confirm that draft requirements are maintained.

The radon monitors are left in the home for several days to analyze the levels of radon gas in the house. A specialist will return to the structure after the radon measurement is done to remove the devices and generate a report.
