GET THE BEST RADON TESTING FOR YOUR HOME!
Are you in the process of buying or selling a home? Did you know that every county in Southeastern Wisconsin has areas with elevated levels or at the very least considered to be a moderate to high risk for potentially high radon levels? This is of great concern and can cause issues during the closing stages of home or commerical property purchases. According to the EPA, anyone living in a home that exceeds 4 pCi/L (Picocuries) is considered to be at risk for developing potentially harmful health problems. The level of 4 pCi/L is considered by the EPA as the “action level." This means that if your home tests at or above this level, the EPA and Surgeon General suggest the property owner have the property professionally mitigated. When 4 pCi/L or higher is reached at testing, there is a significant risk for lung cancer as well as other adverse health concerns. Futhermore, the Surgeon General states that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon has been found all over the country, and it is imperative that radon be tested for to ensure the levels are appropriate. On average, 1 out of every 15 homes in the United States has elevated radon levels.

WHY TEST FOR RADON?
IF YOU ARE BUYING A NEW HOME |
IF YOU ARE SELLING YOUR CURRENT HOME |
CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH RISKS |
When you are in need of radon testing in your home, there are several types of tests that we offer. First, we need to know a little information about your circumstances. Most of the time, when a radon test is done, time is of the essence because the closing period is generally time sensitive in and of itself. Our radon experts can be on location within 48 hours to start the testing process. All of our testing devices are considered active devices. This is professional radon testing equipment that requires power and includes continuous monitoring. Passive devices are what you can buy in home department stores. These devices do not need power and are generally cheap to make. These tests require you to send in the results to a laboratory for accurate radon readings.
A typical radon test usually lasts for 2-3 days, depending on the structure. Because of the fluctuation in radon levels, it is important that several days be tested. We usually advise that all windows and doors are closed to get accurate results. Because radon gas comes from the ground, we usually place our testing equipment in the basements or bottom levels of homes. North Central Radon can conduct long-term radon measurement, which are usually most beneficial for commercial structures and businesses. This is because there is more area to cover and much more fluctuation in radon levels. This testing procedure usually consists of a 90 day testing period that is designed to account for variables that are not usually found in the average Wisconsin home.
If you are buying a new home, it is highly recommended that you request a radon test to be conducted before purchasing the home. The EPA recommends that all homes, regardless of the radon zone that they might be located in, be fully tested before purchase. It is usually up to the buyer to request that the radon examination be conducted. If the test comes back higher than 4 piC/L, then a request should be made to mitigate the radon levels down or you should be compensated for the radon mitigation system expenditure.
Whether you are buying a home, selling a home or are just concerned with the health effects of radon gas, it is important to make sure your house is properly tested. The experts at North Central Radon will guarantee the most efficient and most affordable radon measurement on the market. No other companies have the expert team of specialists that we have.
