Romulus MI Radon Testing

What to Know About Radon Gas?

Radon gas is a common cause of cancer. Radon gas is known to cause lung cancer in humans.

38%+ of homes in the Romulus MI area have a radon gas saturation above the dangerous amount.

Radon seeps out of the silt, not the structure. No home, newly built or longstanding, is fully encapsulated against radon gas contamination.

Each and every house meshes with the ground underneath it in a different manner. That is part of the reason why houses next door to others may have radically different radon gas saturation.

Radon accumulation will shift every day and monthly inside a safe range. A short-term radon gas test is a snapshot and a reliable bellwether of whether or not the home has radon gas contamination.

Radon gas has a dangerous duration of only a few days. radon gas accumulation will not be any higher if the structure is enclosed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Infiltrate Your House?

No home is entirely sealed.

Vapors will infiltrate through any grounded vent in the home such as sump pumps, plumbing, and even small cracks in the foundation.

The technique to know with certainty the levels of radon gas in the structure is to order a radon test.

Our Radon Testing Procedure

Sampling a property for radon gas is a unique process when doing a real estate purchase.

Our radon technician will situate the radon probes in the dwelling. Radon monitors are dropped off in crawl spaces and on the first floor. For most properties, between one and three monitors are left in the house for the radon measurement.

The radon technician will shut every window and door, shut the damper on the fireplace, and make certain the heating and cooling system is operating in the required manner. Our radon technician will additionally seal every indicated window with anti-tampering tape to make sure that closed-house requirements are upheld.

The radon monitors stay in the structure for several days to measure the levels of radon gas in the building. A professional will return to the home once the radon test is done to take the analyzers and generate a report.
