Radon testing is a method used to detect the presence of radon gas in a home or building. Radon is a radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. When radon enters a home through cracks or other openings. In houses, radon poses a global health danger. Low- and medium-dose exposures to radon in houses are the main causes of lung cancer. After smoking, radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in many nations.

During a radon test, a professional inspector will place a small, specialized monitor in the lowest livable area of the home, such as the basement or first floor. The monitor will measure the level of radon gas over a period of several days to determine if the levels are within acceptable limits. The results are then reported to the homeowner or building owner. The quickest way to test Rodon in our home is by short term testing a minimum testing time is 48h and it could go up to 90 days.
If radon levels are found to be high, it may be necessary to take steps to reduce the levels, such as sealing cracks or installing a radon mitigation system. Radon mitigation systems typically involve installing a ventilation system that draws radon gas out of the home and vents it outside.
