Radon Testing
Radon testing is a vital aspect of home inspection, as radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can pose serious health risks when present in high concentrations. At Quality Home Inspections LLC, we specialize in conducting thorough radon tests to assess the radon levels in your home. Our testing methods are designed to ensure accurate results, providing you with valuable insights into the safety of your indoor environment. With our expertise, you can make informed decisions to protect your family’s health and well-being.
What is Radon?
Radon, a radioactive gas, naturally emanates when uranium breaks down in rocks, soil, and groundwater. Entering homes through cracks, plumbing, and foundation areas, radon becomes trapped indoors, potentially reaching unsafe levels. Despite being colorless, odorless, and tasteless, radon poses a significant health risk as the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
The Importance of Radon Testing in Colorado and Wyoming
In many areas of Colorado and Wyoming, elevated radon levels are common. Testing is the only reliable method to determine the radon levels in a home. The EPA advises testing homes and buildings every two years to ensure safety. With over 20,000 deaths annually attributed to radon gas exposure, it’s essential to prioritize radon testing for the well-being of occupants.

When to Test
Homeowners are encouraged to test for radon at any time of the year to ensure their living spaces remain safe and healthy.
Prior to purchasing a property, it is advisable to conduct a radon test to identify and address any unsafe levels.
Should the radon levels exceed safe thresholds, the installation of a mitigation system can effectively reduce the radon concentration, ensuring any home maintains radon levels within safe limits.
