Radon Testing
Protect your home from the invisible danger of radon gas
☢️ What Is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, colorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that forms in the soil. It can enter homes through cracks, sump pumps, crawlspaces, and other openings—and long-term exposure can lead to serious health risks, including lung cancer.
According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for over 21,000 deaths each year.
Why Should You Test for Radon?
Radon levels can vary from one home to the next—even on the same street. North Georgia and surrounding areas are known for moderate to high radon potential, making testing especially important for homeowners and homebuyers in our region.
You should test for radon if:
- You’re buying or selling a home
- Your home has a basement or crawlspace
- You’ve never had your home tested before
- You want peace of mind about your indoor air safety

What Is a Safe Level of Radon?
- EPA Action Level: 4.0 pCi/L If levels are at or above 4.0, mitigation is strongly recommended.
- Between 2.0–4.0 pCi/L Consider mitigation and retesting, especially if long-term exposure is expected.
- Below 2.0 pCi/L Generally considered low risk, but continued monitoring is still advised over time.

If radon levels are high, don’t panic. Most homes can be mitigated effectively with a radon reduction system. We’ll guide you on the next steps and connect you with trusted, qualified mitigation professionals if needed.
