Radon Testing
Protect your family from invisible danger with professional radon testing you can trust.
What is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that comes from the natural breakdown of soil and rock beneath your home. You can’t see or smell it, but it can be harmful if it builds up indoors.
Why is Radon a Problem?
When radon gets trapped inside, long-term exposure can cause lung cancer. In fact, the EPA reports that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., responsible for about 21,000 deaths every year.
How Does Radon Get In?
Radon seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, gaps in floors and walls, or even through concrete. Any home—new or old, big or small—can have unsafe radon levels. Your neighbor’s results may be very different from yours, which is why testing is the only way to know if your home is safe.
How do We Test for Radon?
Due to the EPA recommending that short term radon testing, which lasts for no longer than a week, be conducted under closed-building conditions, Starboard Property Inspections utilizes the RadonEye Pro Continuous Monitoring System. The inspector will conduct the test in the lowest livable area of your house that is regularly used 8 to 10 hours per week.
Short-Term Radon Measurement Device: RadonEye Pro Continuous Monitoring System
At Starboard Property Inspections, we use the RadonEye Pro Continuous Monitoring System, one of the most accurate tools available. We place the monitor in the lowest livable area of your home for at least 48 hours of continuous testing.
When the test is complete, you’ll have clear results right away, so you can take action if needed. A sample radon report is available here.
