What Is a Radon Inspection?
Radon is a cancer-causing gas that is hazardous when inhaled. People who are exposed to radon have a higher risk of lung cancer. About 12 percent of all lung cancers are due to radon exposure. Radon comes from the ground or groundwater and seeps into the home. Children and those who smoke are at the highest risk for problems from radon exposure. Unfortunately, you are not able to detect radon. It has no taste or smell, and you cannot see it. Therefore, national health experts recommend having your home tested to find out if you have a radon problem.
Is Radon Testing Necessary?
If you have any doubts, you should get a radon test with your home inspection — it is a cheap and effective way to be aware of a well-known health risk.
According to the EPA, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. The EPA also states that about 21,000 cases of lung cancer every year are the result of radon gas.
Home inspectors will leave a testing device in the home for 2-4 days which will monitor the radon levels in the Houston, TX home. The device will either be a radon test kit that is sent to a lab, or it can be an electronic meter that will give instant results.
What Types of Homes Are at Risk?
You may think that your home near Houston is not at risk because it is a newer home or it is well sealed. This is not the case. Any home is at risk for radon problems, and experts estimate that one out of every 15 homes does have a radon problem.
If your home has not been tested, you owe it to yourself and your family to have it tested. If you are thinking of buying a home, consider investing in radon testing before you make the purchase. You do not want to purchase a home that is putting your family’s health at risk.

Risk Factors of High Radon Levels
The primary health risk of having high radon in your home is lung cancer. Radon gas is radioactive, and these molecules can get trapped in your lungs over time — damaging your lung tissue.
Radon testing isn’t necessary during a home inspection, And if you are a smoker and live in a home with 20 pCi/L levels of radon gas — your risk of getting cancer is 250x more than your risk of drowning. Of course, adverse health effects don’t happen overnight, and it can take years before any symptoms appear. The home in Texas may already have a radon mitigation system installed, or the seller may provide proof that radon in the home has been tested.
Radon Inspection & Testing Requires Proper Qualifications
