Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in the foundation, walls, and floors. At Affordable Environmental Services, we understand the importance of radon testing to ensure the safety and health of your family. Our comprehensive radon testing services are designed to provide homeowners and first-time home buyers with peace of mind.
Radon is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without specialized testing. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Regular radon testing is crucial for identifying and mitigating this invisible threat.
Our professional radon testing process involves placing specialized radon detectors in strategic locations within your home. These detectors measure the concentration of radon gas over a period of time, typically 48 hours. Once the testing period is complete, we analyze the data to determine the radon levels in your home. Our team uses advanced equipment and follows industry best practices to ensure accurate and reliable results.
The EPA recommends that all homes be tested for radon, regardless of their location. However, certain areas in the Charlotte region, including Huntersville, Cornelius, Kannapolis, Stanley, Mooresville, Concord, Harrisburg, Mint Hill, Indian Land, and Fort Mill, are known to have higher radon levels in the soil. It is particularly important for homeowners and first-time home buyers in these areas to conduct radon testing.
Radon testing should be performed:
Radon exposure can have severe health consequences if left untreated. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon increases the risk of lung cancer, especially for smokers. Children and individuals with compromised immune systems are also at higher risk. Early detection through radon testing is key to preventing these health issues.
If high levels of radon are detected in your home, our team can provide guidance on radon removal options. Residential (or Commercial) Radon Mitigation systems, such as sub-slab depressurization, can effectively reduce radon levels to safe levels. These systems work by venting radon gas from beneath the home to the outside, preventing it from entering your living space.
