Radon Testing

Approximately 70% of our home inspection Customers opt for a radon in air test.  Test for your health, test for resale (as the next buyers will want to know, and test every two years.

  • Every home is susceptible to radon, even new construction and homes on a slab.

  • Approximately one in three homes have high radon levels.

  • Radon is a gas formed by the breakdown of uranium and radium, both are found in high levels throughout Maine

  • Neighboring homes may have very different radon levels.

Every Maine county has high levels and a test is required to determine if levels are high for your specific home.  If concentrations are too high in your home, your health is at risk.  Due to an obvious conflict of interest, we don't mitigate if high levels are detected.  We only test. 

 

Let us help you professionally test for Radon in your home using our Continuous Radon Monitors (CRMs) so you can have the peace of mind to know you are safe from radiation.

A CRM is an electronic testing machine that eliminates the potential for human error.  CRMs take an electronic, hourly reading and provide results immediately.  No lab time is needed.  Our fleet of 15 Sun Nuclear 1027 and 1028XP CRMs are calibrated annually by Sun Nuclear, as required by the State of Maine.  Maine Radon testers must be licensed.  Find our license here.
