​Certified Radon Gas Testing

​What if there are high radon gas levels?

The EPA suggests installing a radon mitigation system when gas levels are 4.0pCi/L or higher. The test results provide this number. For many homes installing a radon mitigation system isn't particularly complicated or expensive, however unless you are familiar with radon mitigation you should not assume a certain cost. Your best bet is to obtain a quote from a contractor who specializes in installing radon mitigation systems.

What Is Radon Gas?

Radon is an odorless, colorless, radioactive gas, that occurs naturally from decaying uranium in the soil.  It can be detected through relatively simple testing procedures.  In Central Massachusetts it is not uncommon to find high levels of radon gas in homes, which is known to be harmful to humans, particularly over long periods of exposure. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S.
