- Radon Measurement -
- Radon is a colorless, odorless, heavy gas which is bi-product of uranium decay.
- It comes in the house from the ground through cracks of the concrete plate. Even minutest cracks are good enough to bring in the gas.
- As the homes are closed, it accumulates in the house.
- As the gas is heavy, it makes concentration near the floor of lowermost level.
- Both basement & slab homes are vulnerable, only difference being in basement it accumulates on the floor of basement and in slab, it accumulates on floor of 1st floor.
- The gas disperses out when you open doors and windows.
- We measure the radon levels over 48 hrs and provide table-plot report.
- Per EPA
- Acceptable level 0-2 pCi/L
- Borderline level 2-4 pCi/L
- High level 4+ pCi/L
- If high level is detected, radon mitigation system can be installed to ensure low radon levels.
- Please refer for additional details.

Disclaimers -
- Point-In-Time - Home Inspection is for a Point-In-Time & NOT a Home Warranty, which goes for period in time.
- Functional & Structural aspects - Inspection is NOT about cosmetic items such as paint imperfections OR scratches on floor.
- Best attempted issue list - Home inspection is an attempt to find as many issues as possible in a given timeslot & NOT 100% of issue list.
- Limitations to reach are skipped - We don't move furniture OR appliances to look behind.
- Work-In-Progress are skipped - In a new construction, if something is still being worked on it will be skipped.
- Cost number - For re-sale, I tend to give ball park cost numbers for planning/negotiation purpose. However those are un-official, ball-park and only a guesstimate.
