Radon Testing
Radon testing is the process of measuring radon gas levels inside a home to determine whether they pose a health risk to occupants. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms in soil and rock and can enter a home through foundation cracks, crawl spaces, and other openings. Because it is invisible and odorless, radon can build up to dangerous levels without any warning signs. At L&L Home Inspections, we conduct professional radon testing using EPA-approved devices and procedures. Testing is performed in the lowest livable areas of the home where radon is most likely to accumulate, and results are delivered in a clear, detailed digital report.
Why Radon Testing Matters
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and Pennsylvania consistently ranks among the states with the highest radon levels. Many homes exceed the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L without the owners ever realizing it. Because radon exposure occurs over time, testing is the only reliable way to know whether a home is safe for long-term occupancy. This makes radon testing an essential step for homeowners, buyers, and sellers alike.
Why You Need Radon Testing During a Real Estate Transaction
Radon testing is especially important during real estate transactions, as it provides buyers with critical information before finalizing one of the largest purchases they’ll ever make. Test results empower buyers to negotiate repairs, request mitigation, or make informed decisions about the property. The good news is that radon mitigation systems are proven to be effective, affordable, and long-term solutions. Identifying elevated radon levels early helps protect your family and future occupants from serious health risks while avoiding surprises after closing.
Risks of Not Testing for Radon
- Unknown exposure to a cancer-causing radioactive gas
- Increased long-term health risks, especially for children and non-smokers
- Missed opportunity to negotiate radon mitigation during a real estate transaction
- Potential out-of-pocket costs for mitigation after closing
- Possible complications or reduced confidence during future resale
- No clear data to confirm whether the home is safe for occupancy
Radon is a health hazard — not a deal breaker — but only if you know your numbers.
