Radon
All Seasons Contracting, Inc. maintains a high level of training with all of its employees.
Radon is a cancer-causing, radioactive gas you cannot see, smell, or taste. The Surgeon General of the United States has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Why Do You Need to Test for Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. It has been found in homes all over the United States. Typically, radon enters your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. It can also enter your home through well water. Radon can be trapped inside your home. It is recommended by the EPA and the Surgeon General that you have your home tested.
Radon Measurement
We use radon detection monitors that are calibrated every six months and are very accurate measurement tools. The monitor continually monitors the level of radon and gives an instant reading of the amount of radon in the home every hour. This is used for a minimum of 48 hours. Test results are given in a printed report that gives a comprehensive look at the radon levels each hour during the test.
You can Fix a Radon Problem
If you find that you have high radon levels (4 pCi/L or more), there are ways to fix the problem. Even very high levels can be reduced to acceptable levels. We are trained and certified in radon measurement and mitigation. Quotes can be obtained by calling our office at 704-380-4612.
