        Radon Testing



Radon is a Radioactive Gas
Radon is a radioactive element that is part of the radioactive decay chain of naturally occurring uranium in soil. You can’t see radon.  You can’t smell radon and you can’t taste radon. Unlike carbon monoxide and many other home pollutants, radon's adverse health effect, lung cancer, is usually not produced immediately.  Thus you may be exposed to radon for many years without ever suspecting its presence in your home.



IEMA recommends professional testing in real estate transactions.

EPA strongly urges the use of tamper resistant techniques when conducting a radon test in the context of a real estate transaction.  The Radalink monitors we use are equipped with a tilt sensor that will log any time the monitor is moved and a power sensor that will record if the power source changes from AC to battery and back to AC.  Hourly readings of the radon concentration, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure will record any unusual fluctuations resulting from Protocol violations.  In other words, it is extremely difficult to compromise a Radon test performed by Integrity Home Inspection without being caught.

For your health and others in your home, have a Radon test completed.
