Radon Testing

by Real Estate Inspector Near Boise, ID

Premium Property Inspections offers radon testing near Boise, ID. Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is produced from nearly every type of soil. Radon can travel through cracks into homes, where it is trapped and pooled. Living in an environment with constant exposure to radon gas can increase your chance of developing lung cancer. For this reason, we always recommend radon testing to homeowners with a basement.

What you can expect during radon testing by our team of experts:

Placement of Testing Devices: A professional property inspector will visit your property and place radon testing devices in the home. Typically, we use charcoal canisters or continuous radon monitors placed on the lowest level of the home, as radon tends to pool in basements and crawl spaces.

Testing: Radon testing typically lasts for a couple of days. Testing devices need to be exposed to the air for a while in order to pick up on minute levels of radon.

Monitoring: Your inspector will give you details on guidelines to follow, such as keeping windows and doors closed for the most part, and avoiding any actions that might interfere with the testing.

Retrieval: Once the testing period is complete, your inspector will return to collect the devices, which will be analyzed by a certified laboratory that has the ability to measure the amount of radon gas in the samples collected by the testing devices.

Reporting: Premium Property Inspections will prepare an easily understandable report about the radon levels that were detected, as well as our professional opinion on how to proceed, including any suggestions and guidelines for higher radon levels.
