Peoria Radon Testing

What to Know About Radon?

Radon gas is a common-place carcinogen. Radon gas is known to lead to lung cancer in children and adults.

A large number of homes in the Peoria area have a radon level above the DNS action amount.

Radon filters out of the soil, not the structure. No home, new or old, is fully shielded from radon intrusion.

Each and every property interacts with the dirt differently. That is why homes next to each other can have majorly different radon accumulation.

Radon gas accumulation will change daily and with the seasons within a safe range. A one-time radon measurement measures a single day or week and is a reliable metric of if the land has a radon gas issue.

Radon gas has a half-life of only a few days. radon gas concentration will not worsen if the house is sealed for months or years.

How Does Radon Infiltrate a property?

Houses are not supposed to be entirely airtight.

Gaseous contaminants can enter through each grounded vent in the house such as drainage, plumbing pipes, and invisible cracks in the foundation’s concrete.

The method to know confidently the concentration of radon gas in the house is to order a radon test.

Your Radon Gas Test Method

Probing a house for radon gas is a particular procedure when offering a house purchase.

Our radon professional will situate the radon detectors in the house. Radon gas detectors will be located on any level that touches the ground. On average multiple devices are left in the structure for the radon gas analysis.

The radon gas professional will shut every window, seal the damper on the chimney, and make sure the air conditioning is operating in the prescribed manner.

Our radon gas professional will also seal all required windows with tamper-proof tape to make sure that ventilation requirements are maintained.

The radon gas devices are left in the house for a few days to measure the saturation of radon gas in the house. A specialist will revisit the home after the radon testing is finished to recover the analyzers and generate a report.

Please call today for a no-cost consultation! Our radon testing consultants will meet with you to learn more about your property, take measurements, and get you going on making your Peoria property one you can be proud of!

Ryan did an outstanding job with walking me through the home and outside post his hole inspection. He and Benjamin were able to let us know the ins and … More outs of the home. Ryan’s attention to detail and capturing the home was very impressive. Very down to earth and definitely recommend.

We are living in IL and moving to AZ, referred by Tim Boyles. My husband was skeptical as it was a referral from an agent as well as being a licensed inspector, … More many years ago. When he reviewed the report he was extremely pleased with the thoroughness and it allowed us to know this home needed a lot of work. It gave us enough information to know it was not a home for us and cancelled the contract. We are very pleased and I informed Tim, no matter what we want our next home inspected by him too. The final thing was to learn We are even going to get 50% off our next inspection. Great service, invoice, payment process and report, super efficient! Great job and be sure to read this survey to Weichert during the next sales meeting to get this inspection tor and company more business. Great agent, great inspector, a winning combination!

"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!"
