Radon Testing

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US. Testing is the only way to detect harmful levels! Request a radon test today!

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that comes from decomposing uranium in the soil, it can escape from the ground into your home. The only way to detect radon in your home is with a closed-condition radon test. The Oregon Health Authority has collected radon test data, and reports that several neighborhoods in the Portland Metro have elevated levels! The Washington DOH also reports that testing has shown Vancouver, Washington has radon levels that put their citizens at high risk. Not enough testing has been done to know what the actual risk of exposure is in much of the state but the areas with the highest known levels are in NW Oregon, including the Columbia Gorge and Willamette River Valley.

We will send one of our National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) Certified Radon Measurement Specialist to conduct a closed-condition radon test for commercial transactions.

Radon in Water

Though radon entering your home through the soil is usually a much larger risk, your water supply is potential source. Most of the risk comes from atoms released into the air when water is used for showering and other household purposes. A radon in water problem is more likely when you get your drinking water from ground water (private well or public water supply system that uses ground water). If your water comes from a well, and you found radon air in your home, perform a radon test on your water.
