Why You Should Add a Radon Test to Your Home Inspection
Radon testing refers to using a specialized device to detect radon, a radioactive gas known to cause lung cancer and negatively impact respiratory health. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that nearly 1 in 5 US homes has elevated radon levels. Radon testing is necessary for residents in at-risk regions across the US.
Prolonged radon exposure is the second-leading cause of lung cancer worldwide and claims the lives of 21,000 people per year. Residential radon screenings are important for identifying radon and empowering owners to take mitigation measures.
Since 1979, families have trusted HouseMaster for expert radon testing before buying or selling a home. We are committed to excellence in everything we do and providing exceptional customer service.
