FAQs
What communities does ValueGuard serve?
We inspect homes everyday in Philadelphia, Bucks County, Chester County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Berks County and Lancaster County Pennsylvania. ValueGuard home inspectors, radon technicians and client service folks live, work and volunteer throughout our community.
Do I need a radon test?
Yes. The only way to determine if you are at risk for high radon levels in your home is to perform radon testing. The EPA and Surgeon General recommend testing for all homes below the third floor. The EPA further recommends that homes with high radon concentration be mitigated. ValueGuard is a test only firm. To avoid any potential conflict of interest, we do not perform or recommend radon mitigation services.
What is a tamper-resistant, electronic radon test?
ValueGuard Radon Technicians utilize state-of-the-art testing protocols, including continuous rate, tamper-resistant electronic radon monitors which detect any unusual readings of radon, temperature and humidity caused by opening the surrounding windows. Tilt and power sensors detect if the monitor is moved. Hourly barometric pressure readings will even help detect unusual radon averages due to extreme weather conditions. The results are provided in a professional, four-page Certified Radon Report that indicates the overall average radon concentration, as well as hourly graphs detailing temperature, radon concentration and barometric pressure for the duration of the 48-hour test.
What is the cost for a radon test?
ValueGuard radon technicians use only premium, continuous rate, tamper-resistant electronic radon monitors. Radon Test Fee: $200; $180 with a home inspection Note: companies charging less may use non-electronic, non-tamper resistant radon testing equipment. ValueGuard radon technicians are certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. We can generally schedule your Radon test with only one day notice and will email your test results shortly after conclusion of the 48-hour test.
