What Is Radon and Why Testing Matters
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that forms naturally as uranium, radium, and thorium break down in soil, rock, and groundwater. While harmless outdoors, it can accumulate indoors, especially in Sarasota’s homes, and can pose a significant lung cancer risk. The only way to know your home’s radon level is through professional testing.
How We Conduct Radon Testing
48-Hour Continuous Monitoring
Our licensed inspector installs a sensitive radon monitor that stays in your home for 48 hours. This device records radon levels, temperature, barometric pressure, and humidity hourly, and even alerts us if it’s moved during the test.
Precise Data Collection for Actionable Results
The monitor’s hourly readings give a dependable profile you can trust. We analyze this data to verify if levels exceed the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L, and help you understand when mitigation is needed.
