A radon inspection tests your home for the presence of radon gas, a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into buildings through cracks in the foundation or gaps around pipes. Because radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, it can go completely undetected without proper testing—yet long-term exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer. During this inspection, specialized equipment is used to measure radon levels inside the home, typically over a set period of time to ensure accurate results. If elevated levels are found, mitigation steps can be taken to reduce radon and improve indoor air quality. Whether you’re buying a new home or checking the safety of your current one, a radon inspection is an essential step in protecting your health and well-being.
