Radon Testing

A Buyers Choice Home Inspections - Services
  • Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas
  • You can't see radon. And you can't smell or taste it. But it may be a serious problem in your home.
  • How Does Radon Gas Get Into Your Home?
  • Radon comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up over time. Any home may have a radon problem.
  • This includes new and old homes, well-sealed and drafy homes and homes without basements.

Testimonials

Thank you Peter!  What an easy to follow report!  I wanted to tell you that my husband and I were both very impressed with the service we received and we have already decided that you will be our inspector for any future home purchases we make.  I've also told my real estate agent to pass your name along to any of his other clients who might be looking for an inspector.  We really appreciate the time you took to walk us through everything ... it was very helpful, especially for first time home buyers such as ourselves.  Thanks again!
