Radon Testing

Don’t rely on Radon Test Results taken in other homes in the neighborhood to estimate the radon level in your home. Schedule with Nashville Home Inspection today for your Radon Testing in Nashville, TN.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the country. One in 15 homes has a high level of indoor radon. This is a problem you should be concerned with. The U.S. Surgeon General and the EPA recommend that all homes be tested.

Don’t panic – homes that demonstrate high radon levels can be fixed by stopping the inflow of radon gas. Get a Radon Mitigation System, and your home will be healthy for years.

We bought our home in 1997  and didn’t have a Radon test done. We were not aware of Radon in 1997. In 2004, we had our home tested and guess what? We had Radon levels of 11.9 pCi/L which we understand, anything under 4.0 pCi/L is acceptable. We had a mitigation system installed and got our Radon levels down to .09 pCi/L, which we were happy with. We loved our home and didn’t want to leave it because of elevated levels of Radon, so we were glad there was a fix. ~ Beth Compton

Two Reasons Why You Need to Test for Radon in Nashville?

1. Radon Has Been Found In Homes All Over the U.S. and Tennessee.

It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Radon can also enter your home through well water. Your home can trap radon inside.

Any home can have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. You and your family will most likely get your greatest radiation exposure at home. That is where you spend most of your time.

Nearly 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States is estimated to have an elevated radon level (4 pCi/L or more). Elevated levels of radon gas have been found in homes in Nashville. Contact your state radon office for information about radon in your area.

2. EPA and the Surgeon General Recommend That You Test Your Home

Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from radon. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon.

You cannot predict radon levels based on state, local, and neighborhood radon measurements. Do not rely on radon test results taken in other homes in the neighborhood to estimate the radon level in your home. Homes that are next to each other can have different radon levels.

Testing is the only way to determine your home’s radon level.

Inspecting the home is normal for almost every resale home listed on the market. Usually, the buyer requests the inspection and is accountable for the cost of the property inspection. But if a problem with the house is found, such as a leaking roof, mold in the home, or the presence of Radon gas, it is normally the responsibility of the seller to fix the issues with their house before the sale proceeds.

The repairs that might be needed before closing on the home purchase are negotiated between the seller and the buyer. More often than not, the owner is the one who is responsible for the repair before finalizing the sale. In some instances, many costly fixes can be negotiated and deducted from the price of the home if the buyer agrees to make the repairs themselves once they have moved in. But the normal way a transaction goes is the seller is responsible for repairs when negotiated that way.

For some people, the inspection and testing of their home are a priority that is taken care of long before putting their home on the real estate market. They detect a potential problem before it becomes an issue in the home negotiation. People looking for radon testing services to test their property and mitigate any gas found can clear their home of any traces of the gas. This way, they can move forward with the sale of their home, knowing that the buyer will be happy with their inspection results and any repairs.
