Radon Testing in Hayden ID

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?

It may surprise you to know that homes are not 100% gas-proof.

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.

Our Radon Test Steps

Sampling a property for radon is a special process when completed concurrently with a real estate sale.

Your radon technician will situate the radon gas analyzers in the house. Radon gas monitors will be placed on any level that touches the ground. On average up to three devices are left in the house for the radon measurement.

Your radon technician will shut every window and door, seal the flue on the chimney, and ensure the heating and cooling system is functioning in the standard manner. The radon technician will additionally seal any required window with tamper-proof tape to ensure that closed home conditions are maintained.

The radon apparatus stay in the building for 2-3 days analyzing the saturation of radon gas in the house. An expert will come back to the structure after the radon testing is complete to return the analyzers and write a report.

Best Inspections USA is my new go to for home inspections. Professional, knowledgeable, and clearly an expert, Bobby sets the standard for all other inspection companies to emulate. I have used two other local inspectors before meeting Bobby, and his attention to detail and experience really stood out above and beyond the others. I am very confident to refer Bobby and his staff to all my family and friends that need residential or new construction inspections.

Bobby was incredibly professional and informative. We had to rush an inspection and they were able to squeeze us in the next morning (which none of the other inspection companies were able to do!) We are first time home buyers and had lots of questions which Bobby was able to answer. He made the house buying process much less worrying due to his detailed report! I HIGHLY recommend this company!

Bobby is a real Professional! I wouldn't trust anyone else to do a home inspection for me. His years of experience and knowledge far surpass the average inspector, who may have little to no experience in the industry. Bobby's many years in the construction business make working with him invaluable.
