What is Radon?

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally as a decay product of uranium found in soil and rock. It can infiltrate homes through cracks in floors, walls, and foundations, accumulating to levels that pose significant health risks to occupants. Prolonged exposure to high radon levels is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, underscoring the critical importance of radon testing during home inspections.

Radon gas can enter a home through cracks and openings in the foundation, walls, or floors, particularly where the building comes into direct contact with the ground. It can also infiltrate living spaces through gaps around service pipes, construction joints, and even the water supply, especially if the water comes from underground sources rich in radon. Poor ventilation in basements and crawl spaces further facilitates the accumulation of radon, allowing it to reach higher concentrations within the home’s indoor air.

How is a Radon Test Performed?

A Radon test is typically performed by experienced and certified home inspectors who have undergone specialized training. The process involves collecting air samples from the lowest living area of the home, either through short-term (taking 2-7 days) or long-term (lasting up to 90 days) testing methods. These samples are then analyzed to measure radon levels, with results guiding necessary mitigation efforts if levels are found to be above the EPA recommended action level of 4 pCi/L.

Having a certified home inspector conduct a radon inspection is crucial. These professionals possess the knowledge, expertise, and proper equipment to accurately assess radon levels, ensuring reliable results. Their certification also indicates adherence to established protocols and standards, further enhancing the credibility of the testing process.
