Mullan ID Radon Testing

What to Know About Radon?

Radon gas is a Class A cancer-causing agent. Radon is proven to lead to lung cancer in humans.

38%+ of houses in the Mullan ID area have a radon gas level above the DNS action limit.

Radon gas seeps out of the dirt, not the home. No home, new or old, is fully encapsulated against radon gas infiltration.

Every house interacts with the dirt beneath it uniquely. That is part of the reason why properties next door to others may have radically different radon gas levels.

Radon accumulation will shift daily and monthly within a safe range. A short-term radon gas sample measures a small period and a dependable bellwether of whether the house has radon gas contamination.

Radon gas has a lifespan of only a few days. That means that radon accumulation will not be higher if the house is closed for years or months.

How Does Radon Seep into the House?

No property is completely hermetically sealed.

Gaseous contaminants can suffuse through any penetration in the property such as drainage, pipes, and even small flaws in the foundation.

Your method to know with confidence the saturation of radon in the home is to contract a radon test.

Your Radon Test Method

Probing a dwelling for radon gas is a unique process when completed alongside a property transaction.

Our radon gas professional will install the radon monitors in the house. Radon gas monitors will be dropped off on any level that touches the ground. On average, between 1 and 3 analyzers are left in the home for the radon analysis.

The radon gas technician will close windows, seal the damper on the fireplace, and confirm the HVAC system is operating in the standard manner. The radon gas professional will also mark every necessary window with tamper-proof tape to make sure that ventilation conditions are upheld.

The radon gas probes remain in the home for 2-3 days to analyze the levels of radon gas in the property. A technician will revisit the house after the radon test is completed to remove the probes and write a report.
