Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter homes from the soil. Testing is the only way to know the measured radon concentration in a home.
Professional radon testing throughout the Kansas City metro. Metro One performs residential radon measurements to help clients understand indoor radon levels at the property.
Radon testing is performed with appropriate measurement equipment placed in a suitable location in the home.
Short-term real-estate radon testing generally requires a minimum 48-hour measurement period.
Proper building conditions during the test help produce a meaningful measurement.
Measurement data is reviewed and reported after the test period is complete.
Results are interpreted using the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L as an important decision threshold.
Testing can be coordinated with a home inspection or scheduled as a standalone service when appropriate.
Radon cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, so the presence or concentration of radon cannot be determined during a visual home inspection.
Testing gives buyers and homeowners property-specific measurement data they can use when deciding whether mitigation or additional testing should be considered.
