How it works
What You Can Expect
WHAT IS RADON?
Radon testing is the only way to know your home’s radon level. HouseCo provides professional 48-hour testing by an NRPP-certified Kentucky and licensed Indiana radon measurer. The EPA recommends mitigation at 4.0 pCi/L or higher and considering action between 2.0–3.9 pCi/L. Elevated radon levels can typically be reduced with a mitigation system.
HOW TO TEST FOR RADON
HouseCo provides professional 48-hour radon testing using accurate monitoring equipment. We are NRPP-certified and licensed radon measurers in Kentucky and Indiana. The EPA recommends mitigation at 4.0 pCi/L or higher and considering action between 2.0–3.9 pCi/L. Mitigation can typically reduce elevated radon levels.
Understanding Radon Levels
The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon at 4.0 pCi/L or higher and considering mitigation between 2.0–4.0 pCi/L. Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer, and long-term exposure increases health risks. Because no radon level is considered completely risk-free, reducing levels as much as practical through a properly installed mitigation system is recommended.
NRPP Certification
NRPP certification demonstrates that a radon professional has developed the knowledge and technical skills necessary to perform radon measurement and mitigation services. Maintaining certification requires ongoing training and periodic documentation of competency, technical knowledge, performance, and quality-control practices.
Good to know
Questions, answered
WHY IS RADON TESTING IMPORTANT?
High levels of radon can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, behind only smoking. That is why it is important to have your home tested for radon.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TEST FOR RADON?
The EPA recommends that all homes be tested for radon at least every two years. If you have already tested your home and have taken steps to reduce high levels of radon, it is still a good idea to test regularly to ensure that the levels remain low.
CAN HIGH LEVELS OF RADON BE FIXED?
Yes, high levels of radon can be reduced through a process called radon abatement. A professional radon abatement company can help you reduce the levels of radon in your home to a safe level.
IS HOUSECO QUALIFIED TO TEST FOR RADON?
Yes. HouseCo Home Inspection Services is licensed and NRPP-certified to perform professional radon measurements.
