Radon Inspection Service
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. after smoking, and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Radon is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, invisible and chemically inert gas that comes from the decay of radium in the soil. Radium is a decay product of uranium. Uranium is present in almost all rocks and soil and material derived from rocks.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that radon is responsible for more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths per year (about one person every 25 minutes) in the U.S.
Data collected by the Florida Department of Health indicates that 1 in 5 Florida residences has radon levels above the EPA action level. Elevated radon levels have been found in all types of Florida buildings, including manufactured homes, schools and high-rise condominiums.
Radon may be in your home
In some areas of Florida, one out of two homes have excessive amounts of radon. Floridians are exposed to concentrated radon gas as it enters their building. The Florida Department of Health, in conjunction with the local county public health units, is working to support Floridians as they protect themselves from radiation exposure from radon gas.
Our Inspectors are Radon Certified by both InterNachi as well as the Florida Department of Health.
