Surprise Radon Testing

What’s Radon?

Radon gas is a common carcinogen. It is proven to instigate lung cancer in children and adults.

Many houses in the Surprise area have a radon gas saturation near or above the DNS action limit.

Radon naturally occurs in the silt, not the building. No house, new or old, is exempt from radon.

Each and every house interfaces with the soil beneath it uniquely. That is why properties next door to one another have dramatically different radon gas concentrations.

Radon gas levels will change every day and with the seasons within an acceptable range.

A short-term radon sample measures a single day or week and is a reliable indicator of whether or not the land has a radon gas issue.

Radon gas has a half-life of only a few days. That means radon gas levels will not be worse if the structure is closed for months, days, or years.

How Does Radon Filter into a house?

Houses are not built to be totally draft-proof.

Radon can enter through each ground-facing gap in the structure such as drainage, plumbing pipes, and small imperfections in the concrete work.

The method to know confidently the saturation of radon in the house is to contract a radon test.

Radon Gas Testing Procedure

Inspecting a house for radon gas is an important service when completed concurrently with a property transaction.

Our radon gas specialist will situate the radon gas probes in the house.

Radon gas probes are dropped off in crawl spaces, the level above crawl spaces, and any room touching the earth. For most properties, several probes are placed in the house for the radon gas measurement.

The radon gas professional will seal every window and door, close the vent on the fireplace, and ensure the air conditioning is running in the standard manner.

Your radon technician will also mark every necessary window with tamper indication tape to ensure ventilation standards are upheld.

The radon gas apparatus are stored in the home for several days measuring the amount of radon gas in the structure.

An expert will return to the home once the radon test is complete to remove the analyzers and write a report.

Please call today for a no-cost pricing estimate! Our radon testing consultants will come to visit to ask about your property, take measurements, and get you on target on making your Surprise house one you can enjoy completely!

    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.
