Radon testing
Professional Radon Testing at $125
We strongly recommend a professional 48-hour radon test.
A December article in the Tennessean newspaper said that half the homes in middle Tennessee have a level above the 4.0 action level set by the EPA.
Our testing in the area confirms that approximately one third to half of the homes have an unsafe radon level per the EPA guidelines.
Radon is a radioactive gas that is found in the earth’s rock and soil.
Radon is believed to cause approximately 20,000 to 30,000 deaths a year in the United States.
Radon is invisible, odorless, and can be detected only by measuring levels in your home.
Indoor radon exposure is estimated to be the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S. Radon problems have been identified in every state.
The EPA estimates that one out of every fifteen homes in the U.S. have indoor radon levels at or above the EPA’s recommended action guideline of four Pico curies per liter of air (pCi/L) on a yearly average.
Levels are much higher here in middle Tennessee.
Today’s technology can reduce radon levels to below 4 pCi/L in most cases, to 2 pCi/L or less.

An EPA approved radon screening test, using a C.R.M. (Continuous Radon Monitor), is available for $125.00.
Our professional radon test report will show you what the radon level was each hour of the 48-hour radon test period, an average of all the readings, and a EPA protocol average.
About 98% of our clients have us perform this important professional radon test as part of our home inspection process.
Local radon mitigation companies usually charge about $1,000 to $1,500 to correct high radon levels. They gurantee they can get any home under the 4.0 EPA action level.
We do not fix radon. We just test for it. Our $125 professional radon test could save you the cost of mitigation, and your life. Request the test. You will be glad you did.
