Radon is an odorless, colorless, radioactive gas that seeps up through the ground during the breaking down process of uranium in the soil.

Dirt and rocks are porous, which means it is able to come up through the ground into the air we breathe.

Because homes typically have lower air pressure inside, it creates a vacuum like environment where your home begins to suck air directly from the soil into your living areas. This air vacuum process carries Radon gas into your home as well.

Radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer in smokers. One out of every five homes in America test abnormally high in levels of Radon gas.

Testing your home for Radon is on the average of $150 and pales in comparison to the health of your children and family.

We at America's Best Home Inspections use top-of-the-line Radon testing equipment. The test takes 48 hours to conduct. A full report based on EPA standards is given to the homeowner within 24 hours of test.

The fact is 21,000 people per year here in America will lose their lives to this silent killer, let's take our health serious! Make an appointment today.
