Radon Testing Kits and Radon Level Assessments

In the Maryland context, one of the most important Radon mitigation options is a Radon Real Estate Loveland CO. The Radon Reduction System is a special type of Radon Reduction System that is specifically designed to mitigate radon levels in residential properties. Radon is a naturally occurring substance that is a leading cause of lung cancer and other health problems.

Radon enters homes through the cracks and gaps in the foundation and floor and can seep into the basement area through an unventilated basement or crawl space. Without a Radon Reduction System, your family is exposed to high levels of Radon gas, which can cause severe health issues. Through a thorough home inspection and thorough mitigation system installation by a qualified licensed contractor, you can protect your family from Radon gas poisoning. The Radon Reduction System uses passive Radon gas detection, passive osmosis and ionization, as well as a sub-slab depressurization system to prevent Radon entry.

There are two types of Radon Mitigation Systems available to homeowners. Radon abatement systems use steel pipes that are inserted below the ground surface to collect radon gas. Once the gas seeps into the earth, the pipes are sealed and buried so that it cannot exit the earth. Another method of Radon mitigation involves using radon abatement filters located in the basement or crawl space of the home. These filters actively remove Radon and other chemicals that can cause serious health problems, especially in elderly and young people who are at the highest risk for developing cancer as a result of Radon exposure.

Home Inspections - Before you make a decision regarding a Radon mitigation system, it is important that you have your home inspected by a qualified certified home inspector to determine what contaminants may be present in your property. Radon testing kits are available at local home improvement stores. The inspector will review the Radon test results and suggest which type of Radon Reduction system will work best in your area. Some homeowners choose to have both a Radon Testing kit and a Radon Mitigation system installed. The Radon Test kit can be used during the initial home inspection, and then the Radon Mitigation system can be used to clean up Radon gas once the home inspection is completed. It is recommended that any Radon test results be mailed to a qualified radon lab to determine levels of Radon in the air at the house.

Home Buyers - Typically, after a Radon test is performed at the seller's property, a Radon buyers' conference will be held. The buyer may choose to have the Radon Testing done again at the buyer's residence to determine the lowest level of Radon they can expect to find in their new home. A Radon buyer's conference is not required when a buyer purchases a resale property.

New Homebuyers - It is important for new homebuyers to know how to obtain a Radon test kit and interpret the results. New builders and new owners should not take any guesswork from the sellers regarding the Radon level in their homes. The Radon expert will perform an accurate Radon test and then interpret the findings. Based on the Radon test results, the new homebuyer may choose to either buy a Radon suppressor or a Radon Reduction system. The purpose of the Radon test is to help a new homeowner to make an informed decision regarding the Radon levels he or she will be exposed to in their new home.

Both the new homebuyer and the seller should understand the significance of the Radon test results. The buyer may have a better understanding if he or she has been reading about Radon for years. For example, many real estate professionals believe that Radon exposure causes cancer. Therefore, a Radon test is very important for a new home buyer to understand whether or not the home they are considering purchasing is at a higher or lower risk for Radon exposure than others. A Radon test kit should be purchased by the buyer, as well.

Radon levels can also be found at the same elevated radon levels found in commercial buildings. However, because radon is odorless and colorless, it is very difficult to detect. There are two ways to test for elevated radon levels: the Radon Testing Kit or Radon measurement. Both methods measure the amount of Radon gas in the home at various points in the home. The Radon Testing Kit measures under the kitchen sink and the basement; the Radon measurement measures above the ground in the crawl spaces and basements.
