Radon Testing Delaware, Ohio

Delaware has one of the highest levels of Radon gas in Ohio. It is important to have your home tested for your safety.

What effect does radon have?

Radon Gas can cause very serious health concerns. Unfortunately, most residents of Delaware do not know about the dangers radon can cause because the gas is odorless, colorless, and education is sadly lacking.

In fact, Ohio contains one of the highest radon gas concentration levels in the US, and radioactive radon gas poses one of the greatest home health risks to residents. 

How does Radon get into your home?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. 

The air pressure inside your home is usually lower than the air pressure outside; this causes a vacuum effect known as pressure differentials, pulling radon in through foundation cracks and other openings. 

Even if you cannot see any particular fissure in your foundation, it is still important to get your home tested.

Radon levels could still be elevated due to radon's unique capacity to penetrate concrete. 

How is Professional Radon Testing Performed? 

Radon testing is easy!

A certified member from the Radon Eliminator team will come out to your home and investigate the 7 possible intrusion points throughout your basement.

These 7 intrusion points can come in the forms of cavities inside walls, foundation cracks, construction joints, cracks in walls, gaps in suspended floors, gaps around service pipes, and sump pumps or water supplies.

Once we identify your threat points, the crew member will deploy a sensitive testing device to determine the impact of radon on all floors in your home.

The testing unit will remain in your home for a minimum of 48 hours, continuously monitoring the radon concentration levels every hour that it's in your home. 

Once samples are taken and quantified, the team member will provide you a clear report of their findings.

How is Radon Gas Measured?

Radon Testing is measured in PicoCuries per Liter. The EPA recommends that action be taken on any home registering radon levels between 2-4pCi/L and above.

The World Health Organization recommends taking action on any home registering radon levels at or above 2.7 pCi/L.

When the test is completed, the Radon Eliminator contractor will go over the measured findings with you.

Where to go from here?

Professionally done radon testing by a certified Radon Eliminator team member will help you regulate the life-threatening Cancer impact of radon.
