Radon Testing & Mitigation Services CT

As a certified radon testing and mitigation specialist, I can test to determine the levels of radon in your home. A typical radon gas test takes 48 hours to complete and provides an instant printout of the radon levels present in the home.

If it is found that you have above the recommended level of radon gas, it is important that you work to reduce the amount of radon to safer levels. It is recommended that all houses with elevated levels of radon be reduced. Most homes are only tested for radon when they are being bought / sold, but they should be tested periodically.

My radon gas certifications include:

  • National Radon Safety Board (NRSB)
  • Residential Radon Measurement Provider (certification #22SS028)
  • Residential Radon Mitigation Provider (certification #22G004)

 

 

What Is Radon?

Radon is an odor and colorless gas, produced by uranium decay in rocks and soil that is found in every state. The only way to find out if your home has a high level of radon is by testing.  According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA “radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer”.

In fact, Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind smoking and ahead of asbestos, resulting nearly 20,000 deaths a year.
