WHY IS RADON TESTING IMPORTANT?

For those who may not know, radon is a toxic radioactive gas that is released from the soil. It is a naturally occurring gas and a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It then becomes trapped in buildings that sit on top of natural radon vents. Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer next to smoking and the top environmental cause of cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends action when radon levels reach 4.0 pCi/L or higher to ensure health safety. Prolonged radon exposure can increase the risk of developing lung cancer and even cause death. Living in a house with high radon levels is the equivalent of having over 200 chest X-rays in a year. We serve Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Watauga, and Wilkes counties of North Carolina. Our radon inspectors ensure the accuracy and reliability of the testing process. Testing for radon is a small investment for you and your family’s safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How do I know if my home has high radon levels?

    The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is to conduct a radon test. Radon testing kits are available for purchase online, but having High Country Radon Solutions LLC conduct a 48-hour test will give you hour-by-hour readings, minimum and maximum levels, and your average level of radon.

  • What is involved in radon testing, and how accurate is it?

    Radon testing involves placing a radon detector in the lowest lived-in level of your home for 48 hours. We can email your entire report, including hourly readings and a graph, immediately after the test is completed.

  • How often should I test my home for radon?

    It is recommended that you test your home for radon at least every two years. If you have recently moved into a new home or completed major renovations, you should test for radon as soon as possible as these can affect radon levels. Regular testing ensures that any changes in radon levels are detected early, allowing for timely mitigation.

  • How does a radon mitigation system reduce high radon levels?

    A radon reduction system is essential for mitigating high radon levels in homes and commercial buildings. These systems work by sealing gaps and creating vacuum suction systems to prevent radon gas from entering living spaces. By reducing radon levels, these systems not only enhance indoor air quality but also mitigate health risks and increase property value.

  • How does a vapor barrier improve indoor air quality?

    A vapor barrier plays a crucial role in improving indoor air quality by preventing moisture buildup. By reducing moisture infiltration, a vapor barrier helps prevent mold and mildew growth, which can cause structural damage and health issues. Additionally, it enhances energy efficiency by protecting insulation and preventing air leaks, contributing to a healthier and more comfortable living environment.
