Seattle Radon Testing & Inspection Services
Cleaner Air Driven by Committed Care.
Radon is a naturally occurring, tasteless, odorless radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. With different air pressures inside and outside, your home can act like a vacuum, drawing radon in through foundation cracks and other openings. According to the EPA, it is the leading cause of lung cancer for non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer for the general population.

Protecting your home and health
Testing for radon is a very time-intensive process compared to other air quality testing programs and requires meticulous attention to detail. During testing periods, all home doors and windows must be shut for a certain duration to avoid radon escaping your home. Typically, the testing period is anywhere between 2 and 7 days, and in rare cases, up to 90 days. While any level of radon in your home puts you at risk, tests that result in 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher require mitigation work.

Radon is a radioactive gas that can enter homes through the ground, primarily through soil and rock beneath the foundation. Radon testing is essential as prolonged exposure to elevated levels of radon can pose serious health risks, including an increased risk of lung cancer.
Radon testing can be conducted at any time of the year. However, longer-term testing during the heating season (fall and winter) when homes are typically closed up can provide more accurate results. Short-term tests, lasting a few days to a week, can offer quick assessments, while long-term tests, lasting over 90 days, provide a more comprehensive understanding of radon levels.
While radon testing kits for homeowners are available, hiring a professional radon testing service is recommended for more accurate and reliable results. Professionals use specialized equipment and follow specific protocols to ensure the validity of the testing process. This is especially important when considering potential mitigation measures based on the results.
