Radon Testing
Radon is a known carcinogen that forms from the decomposition of certain types of rock and soil deep underground. Once formed, radon is released as a gas that can sometimes escape from the ground’s surface—posing a threat if it manages to mix with the air circulating through a home. Radon is odorless and invisible, making it extremely difficult to detect. I have the training and instruments necessary to test your home for the presence of radon, ensuring that you and your family are safe from this naturally-occurring hazard.
