Did you know that Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers?  No worries, we can do a preliminary test for free with your inspection and you can test yourself with the links below.  

​

You can’t see it, smell it, or taste it. Radon, a Class A carcinogen, is the second cause of lung cancer. Radon is responsible for more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths a year (one every 25 minutes).  In Florida, one in five homes tested has elevated radon levels above the action level of 4 pCi/L. Elevated radon levels have been found in all types of buildings, including manufactured homes, schools, and high-rise condominiums.

​

Radon comes from the radioactive breakdown of naturally occurring radium found in most soils. As a gas in the soil, it enters buildings through small openings in the foundation. Since the building can hold the radon similarly to smoke trapped under a glass, indoor radon concentrations can increase to many times that of outdoor levels. The only way to know the radon levels in your home is to test.

​

We can perform a free preliminary test with the home inspection as a courtesy using a top-rated same-day Radon Tester.  We always recommend long-term testing by a state-certified testing or mitigation company using a device approved by NRPP and NRSB.  You can also receive a free test from FloridaHealth.gov.  Here's a coupon http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/radon/_documents/florida-radon-testkit-coupon.pdf
