Additional Services

Radon Testing

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer today, and every home should be inspected for radon to determine if mitigation is needed.

What is Radon?

Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation.
