Radon Testing for Auburn Hills MI

Auburn Hills MI Radon Testing

Why Care About Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring cancer-causing agent. It is scientifically proven to lead to lung cancer in children and adults.

38%+ of homes in the Auburn Hills MI area have a radon concentration above the DNS action amount.

Radon gas filters out of the dirt, not the house. No home, newly built or longstanding, is immune to radon.

Each house interfaces with the soil beneath it differently. This is why homes next door to one another often have dramatically different radon gas accumulation.

Radon gas concentration will fluctuate daily and with the seasons within a safe range. A one-time radon test measures a single day or week and is a reliable bellwether of if the land has a radon problem.

Radon has a lifespan of 3.8 days. radon gas levels won’t be worse if the property is sealed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Gas Infiltrate a Home?

No dwelling is completely airtight.

Radon will seep in through any penetration in the structure such as sump drains, plumbing, and invisible flaws in the foundation.

Your way to know confidently the accumulation of radon gas in the house is to run a radon test.

Radon Gas Test Procedure

Inspecting a dwelling for radon gas is an important process when doing a property transaction.

Our radon technician will position the radon gas monitors in the dwelling. Radon gas monitors are situated in crawl spaces, the level above crawl spaces, and any room touching the earth. On average between 1 and 3 probes are located in the property for the radon analysis.

Our radon gas technician will shut every window and door, close the damper on the fireplace, and make certain the HVAC system is running in the prescribed manner. Our radon gas expert will also treat all required windows with tamper-proof tape to confirm that ventilation conditions are upheld.

The radon monitors are left on the property for several days to measure the amount of radon gas in the building. A professional will return to the property once the radon testing is completed to remove the probes and create a report.

Contact us today for a no-cost estimate! Our radon testing consultants will come out to hear about your property, measure the area, and get you started on making your Auburn Hills MI house one you can take pride in!
