Spokane Valley Radon Testing

What is Radon?

Radon is a common-place cancer-causing chemical. Radon gas is well known to instigate lung cancer in humans.

38%+ of properties in the Spokane Valley area have a radon gas concentration above the actionable amount.

Radon seeps out of the silt, not the house. No house- new or old – is immune to radon gas.

Each and every home interfaces with the dirt beneath it uniquely. That is part of the reason why houses next door to one another can have dramatically different radon accumulation.

Radon levels will rise or fall every day and seasonally inside of a reasonable range. A one-time radon sample measures a single day or week and is a good metric of if the property has a radon gas issue.

Radon has a dangerous duration of 3.8 days. That means that radon gas levels won’t be higher if the structure is sealed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Seep into a house?

No home is totally hermetically sealed.

Radon gas may suffuse through each penetration in the house such as sump pits, plumbing pipes, and slight cracks in the foundation’s concrete.

The technique to know certainly the concentration of radon gas in the house is to order a radon test.

Radon Test Steps

Measuring a home for radon gas is a special procedure when done with a property purchase.

The radon specialist will install the radon gas analyzers in the dwelling. Radon probes will be placed in crawl spaces and on the first floor. Typically several probes are installed on the property for the radon gas testing.

Our radon professional will seal all windows, shut the damper on the fireplace, and ensure the air conditioning is operating in the required manner. Our radon professional will additionally seal all indicated windows with tamper-proof tape to confirm that closed home conditions are met.

The radon gas devices stay on the property for a few days to analyze the prevalence of radon gas in the structure. A professional will return to the house after the radon testing is finished to remove the probes 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.
