FAQs About Radon Inspections
Radon is a silent, invisible, and odorless gas that can pose potential health hazards to homeowners if it’s not properly mitigated. Here at Kulumo Home Inspection Services Lake Norman, we’re proud to provide reliable radon inspection services to give homeowners the information they need to make the right decisions for their homes and families. If you have questions about radon or the radon inspection process, we’ve responded to a few frequently asked questions below.
When should my home be tested for radon?
Your house should be checked for elevated radon levels before you put your home on the market, so prospective buyers won’t have to worry about the possibility of radon exposure. You should also schedule a radon inspection if you make major structural changes to your home, as these kinds of renovations may direct more radon inside.
Can I test for radon myself?
Although there are DIY radon test kits you can buy and set up on your own, it’s highly recommended to work with a professional to ensure you get accurate results.
How is a radon inspection completed?
One of our inspectors will place sensors in areas of your home that are near potential sources of radon, such as rooms in your home’s basement. These detectors will remain in place for anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks to measure how much radon comes into your home during that time. Once the detectors have captured enough data, an inspector from our team will analyze the data, create a comprehensive report, and let you know if radon mitigation is necessary.
