What Is Radon?
Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that is produced by the natural decay of uranium. It is found in nearly all soils. However, radon gas becomes a concern for homeowners when it travels up through the soil and into vulnerable spots of the property’s foundation, or even into the water supply in some cases. When radon gas builds up, particularly in confined spaces with little ventilation like basements and crawlspaces, it can become more concentrated and pose a danger to the occupants of the dwelling.
WHAT’S INVOLVED IN A RADON TEST?
Radon tests are simple to perform as long as the site of the test is left undisturbed. During a typical radon gas test, Tech-Smart Home Inspections, LLC, will strategically place state-of-the-art electronic radon detectors on the lowest living floor where we advise occupants not to enter for the next 24-72 hours. At that point, we will come back to retrieve the device and produce the findings in a hardcopy report.
Radon in homes has been discovered throughout the greater Albany region, so it would be wise to assume that the home you are buying or living in could possibly have it, too.
