Radon Testing for Hudson Ohio

Hudson, Ohio, has one of the most significant levels of Radon gas in Summit County. Testing your home for a High Radon Concentration is essential for good health.

What influence does radon have?

Being ahead of the curve is essential when it comes to dealing with radon gas problems. The more you know, the more swiftly you can respond. Unfortunately, many people don't know the dangers of Radon because the gas is odorless, colorless, and suitable education is lacking. Radon presents one of the greatest home health risks to the residents of Ohio. 

How does radon get into your home?

Radon is a regularly occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in water, rock, and soil. Air pressure inside your home is usually lower than the air pressure outside, causing a vacuum effect known as pressure differentials, carrying radon through foundation cracks and other openings in your home. Even if you don’t have visible cracks in your foundation, it is important to get your home inspected. You could still have high radon levels because radon can permeate through concrete.  

What does testing look like?

Radon testing is easy and effective! A Radon Eliminator contractor will come out to your home to examine the 7 possible incursion points throughout your basement. These 7 radon incursion points come in the forms of construction joints, gaps around service pipes, gaps in suspended floors, cavities inside walls, and sump pumps or water supplies. Once these areas are identified, the contractor will set up a device to test radon on all floors in your home. Once measurements are taken, the contractor will present their findings to you. 

What information does the test supply?

Radon Testing is measured in PicoCuries per Liter. The EPA recommends that action needs to be taken on any home registering radon levels 2-4pCi/L and above. The World Health Organization recommends taking action for homes recording radon levels at or above 3 pCi/L.  Once your test is complete, the Radon Eliminator contractor will go over the report of the findings with you.
