Professional Radon Inspections

A professional radon inspection measures radon gas levels inside a home using approved testing methods and calibrated equipment. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and is recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.

Because radon is colorless, odorless, and invisible, testing is the only reliable way to determine if elevated levels are present in a home.

Why Radon Testing Matters in New Jersey

Radon levels can vary significantly based on location, soil composition, and construction methods. Even neighboring homes can produce very different test results.

Many areas throughout New Jersey are classified as having elevated radon potential, making testing especially important during real estate transactions and for long-term health and safety.

For more detailed information, homeowners and buyers can review the A Citizen’s Guide to Radon and the Home Buyer’s and Seller’s Guide to Radon, which explain risks, testing, and mitigation in depth.
