Tempe Radon Testing

Radon is a Class A cause of cancer. Radon is scientifically proven to cause lung cancer in humans.

Many houses in the Tempe area have a radon gas level near or above the actionable limit.

Radon gas comes from the silt, not the structure. No home, newly built or longstanding, is immune to radon.

Each house interacts with the ground differently. That is why homes adjacent to others often have majorly different radon levels.

Radon saturation will shift daily and seasonally inside a reasonable range. A quick radon measurement measures a single day or week and is a reliable bellwether of whether the structure has radon gas contamination.

Radon gas has a dangerous duration of 3.8 days. That means that radon gas saturation will not be higher if the house is enclosed for years, months, or days.

How Does Radon Gas Penetrate Your Structure?

Houses are not supposed to be completely airtight.

Gaseous contaminants may suffuse through any grounded vent in the property such as sump pits, plumbing, and even minor cracks in the concrete work.

Your way to know with confidence the saturation of radon gas in the home is to contract a radon test.

Your Radon Gas Testing Procedure

Measuring a dwelling for radon is a unique procedure when delivering a real estate transaction.

Your radon technician will situate the radon probes in the home. Radon gas detectors are placed in crawl spaces, the level above crawl spaces, and any room touching the earth. Normally multiple analyzers are installed in the house for the radon gas analysis.

Our radon gas specialist will close every window, seal the damper on the fireplace, and make sure the heater or AC is functioning in the prescribed manner. Our radon professional will additionally treat all required windows with tamper indication tape to make sure that ventilation standards are upheld.

The radon probes are left in the structure for a few days analyzing the levels of radon gas in the home. A technician will return to the building once the radon testing is complete to recover the devices and generate a report.

Give us a call today for a no-cost estimate! Our radon testing consultants will come out to hear about your property, take measurements, and get you going on making your Tempe home one you can enjoy without reservation!

    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.
