Radon Testing

Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, naturally occurring radioactive gas. Radon emits ionizing radiation that can pose a risk to building occupants when inhaled. Because Radon in more dense than ambient air it most frequently accumulates in basements and ground level areas.

In 1993, The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) divided the country into three risk zones:

  • Zone 1 - The highest potential for radon with where average indoor radon levels may be greater than 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L)

  • Zone 2 - Moderate potential where average indoor radon levels may be between 2 and 4 pCi/L.

  • Zone 3 - Low potential where the average indoor radon levels may be less than 2 pCi/L

The EPA highly recommends that buildings located inside of Zone 1 and 2 are tested for radon and may even need to be equipped with radon mitigation systems.

Our team of professionals can test your building for radon and make recommendations to mitigate risk.
