Paradise Valley Village Radon Testing

What to Know About Radon Gas?

Radon is a common-place cancer causing chemical. Radon is known to cause lung cancer in children and adults.

38%+ of homes in the Paradise Valley Village area have a radon gas saturation above the carcinogenic level.

Radon gas naturally occurs in the topsoil, not the house. No house, newly built or longstanding, is exempt from radon gas intrusion.

Each and every home interfaces with the ground underneath it in a different manner. That is part of the reason why homes adjoining each other have radically different radon concentration.

Radon gas concentration will rise or fall every day and monthly inside a safe range. A short-term radon sample is a snapshot and a accurate metric of whether or not the house has a radon gas contamination.

Radon gas has a lifespan of 3.8 days. As such, radon gas levels will not be greater if the structure is closed for years, months, or days.

How Does Radon Enter your structure?

No dwelling is totally sealed.

Radon gas will enter through every ground-facing gap in the building such as drains, utility connections, and invisible cracks in the foundation.

The way to know with certainty the accumulation of radon in the structure is to order a radon test.

Your Radon Test Procedure

Sampling a dwelling for radon gas is a important procedure when completed alongside a real estate purchase.

A radon expert will place the radon gas monitors in the property. Radon gas monitors are placed on any level that touches the ground. It is typical that between 1 and 3 probes are placed in the structure for the radon gas testing.

Our radon technician will close every window and door, seal the damper on the chimney, and make sure the air conditioning is functioning in the standard manner. Our radon professional will additionally mark all required window with tamper indication tape to make sure that closed home requirements are upheld.

The radon apparatus remain in the home for a few days to record the saturation of radon gas in the building. A expert will revisit the property once the radon test is finished to recover the devices 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.

Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable, friendly and took the time to educate us on how small problems could become even bigger without proper care. My daughter … More was happy the tooth fairy was also notified where she will be living now 😂 We will continue to use them and appreciate Sasha

I was unable to attend the inspection, but they moved quickly and thoroughly. I was sent the findings shortly after the inspection. I also received a phone … More call from the inspector, asking if I had questions, and pointing out the more important findings. Really a pleasant experience.

"Greg was phenomenal! Got my home inspection scheduled immediately. He was very thorough, informative, and knowledgeable. Took the time to explain everything in a manner that I was able to understand. Personable and professional! Thank you! I’d recommend his services to others!!"

"I hired them on my realtor's recommendation and it was a splendid experience. This being my first home I was not sure what to expect but they were thorough and gave me every little detail about the house. They also helped me with giving regular check-ups information a home owner should know and do. It was very useful to me and great value for money."

"We had an inspection on a house we’re buying. Our inspector Scott was helpful, knowledgeable, and honestly a pretty funny guy as well. Took his time with the inspection and report, showed us everything serious and small. Took the time to ask us if we had any questions, and answered all we had. Would recommend Scott and Checklist to anyone!"
