Expert Home Inspectors in Chattanooga, TN

We at Boyd Home Inspection Company would like to raise awareness about the dangers of radon and the importance of regular radon testing. Radon is a radioactive gas that is present in many homes and buildings, and prolonged exposure to high levels of radon can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can seep into your home through cracks in the foundation, walls, or floors. It is important to note that every home is at risk of having high levels of radon, regardless of its age, location, or construction type. The good news is that radon testing is quick, easy, and affordable. We use state-of-the-art equipment to accurately measure the radon levels in your home. We provide both short-term and long-term testing options, depending on your needs. Our tests are non-invasive and do not require any modifications to your home. If the results of our testing indicate high levels of radon, we will work with you to develop a plan to mitigate the problem. Our team is experienced in radon mitigation and can provide a range of solutions to reduce the levels of radon in your home. Zone 1 (red zones) Highest potential; average indoor radon levels may be greater than 4 p Ci/L (picocuries per liter) Zone 2 (orange) Moderate potential; average indoor radon levels may be between 2 and 4 p Ci/L Zone 3 (yellow) Low potential; average indoor radon levels may be less than 2 p Ci/L.
