Hayden ID Radon Testing

What’s Radon?

Radon gas is a dangerous cancer-causing chemical. It is well known to instigate lung cancer in children and adults.

Many houses in the Hayden ID area have a radon gas concentration at or above the carcinogenic amount.

Radon gas filters out of the soil, not the structure. No property- new or old – is fully shielded from radon intrusion.

Each home meshes with the ground underneath it uniquely. This is part of the reason why properties next to each other have significantly different radon gas saturation.

Radon gas accumulation will rise or fall daily and monthly inside a reasonable range. A short-term radon gas measurement is a snapshot and a solid metric of if the home has radon gas contamination.

Radon has a dangerous duration of 3.8 days. That means that radon gas accumulation will not be higher if the home is enclosed for days, months, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Infiltrate the house?

Vapors can infiltrate through any penetration in the home such as drains, pipes, and invisible flaws in the concrete foundation.

The technique to know confidently the accumulation of radon in the property is to have a radon test.
