Many people who are in the process of buying a home may wonder, is radon testing a part of the home inspection process? 

Typically, the answer to this question is yes.

Your home inspector should offer radon testing as part of the home inspection process. However, not all home inspectors will.

Radon Testing for Commercial Properties 

Radon is a radioactive gas that is produced naturally and released into the atmosphere by rocks, soil, and water.

It can accumulate into dangerous levels in residential homes and commercial properties putting everyone who frequents the home or building at risk for contacting lung cancer. 

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, killing more people every year than drunk drivers. 

In order to determine if your commercial property contains elevated levels of radon gas, you will need to have it tested by a professional.
