Radon Testing in Chandler

Radon gas is a Class A carcinogen. Radon gas is proven to instigate lung cancer in children and adults.

38%+ of houses in the Chandler area have a radon concentration near or above the carcinogenic limit.

Radon gas filters out of the topsoil, not the building. No structure- new or old – is immune to radon intrusion.

Each and every house meshes with the ground beneath it differently. This is part of the reason why houses next door to others often have dramatically different radon levels.

Radon gas concentration will rise or fall on different days and seasonally within a reasonable range. A one-time radon test is a snapshot and a solid indicator of whether or not the land has radon gas accumulation.

Radon has a half-life of only a few days. Accordingly, radon saturation won’t be worse if the structure is enclosed for years, months, or days.

How Does Radon Gas Filter into the home?

Houses are not built to be totally airtight.

Gaseous contaminants will seep in through any grounded vent in the building such as drains, plumbing pipes, and small gaps in the foundation.

The method to know confidently the concentration of radon in the structure is to run a radon test.

Our Radon Gas Testing Procedures

Testing a property for radon gas is a special procedure when done as a part of a property transaction.

The radon gas expert will position the radon analyzers in the house. Radon analyzers are placed on any level that touches the ground. Typically several monitors are installed in the structure for the radon measurement.

Your radon gas expert will shut every window and door, seal the damper on the fireplace, and make certain the HVAC system is functioning in the required manner. Your radon professional will additionally mark every indicated window with tamper-proof tape to confirm that closed-house conditions are maintained.

The radon gas probes are left in the house for a few days to analyze the amount of radon gas in the structure. A specialist will return to the structure after the radon testing is complete to remove the analyzers and generate a report.

    Our experience with Checklist Inspections was excellent. Joe and Jesse completed our home inspection. They walked us through the property to point out … More and explain each finding. They explained what the likely cause of damage to certain areas of the home was, discussed with us why it needed to be fixed, and possible issues that could arise if not repaired. Following the walk through, we were sent a digital copy of the home inspection. This document was also very detailed and easy to read. The document walked you through each area they inspected in the home, had photos of the problems identified and a description paired with it to explain findings and their recommendations. This was very helpful and will be used as a reference guide when completing repairs in the home.
