RADON TESTING IN THE VILLAGES, FL

Radon and Water Quality Testing in The Villages, FL

We recommend that you consider testing your property for the presence of radon. Radon Testing studies have shown that Radon is present in virtually all areas of the United States, and in particular, areas where high concentrations of granite are everywhere in Florida. Homes that have installed granite and marble countertops, backsplash and floor tiles are particularly susceptible to radon gas.

FLORIDA HOMES ARE SUSEPTIBLE TO RADON GAS INFILTRATION

Although results vary greatly from property to property it is wise to have our experts perform a localized test on your property. The effects of radon have been proven to be harmful to your health if not detected and/or mitigated. A simple short-term Radon Test will determine whether or not the gas is present, and allow you to make the decision of how to handle as part of your real estate negotiations.

Our Radon Test cost is very reasonable and provides peace of mind in knowing that the property is safe for your family. Call 352-272-8150

RADON WATER TEST

Radon in well water is a common occurrence. It becomes airborne at the point of entry into the home (i.e. faucets) and has the same effect as radon in the air. Although the presence (or non-presence) of radon in the air does not always indicate whether or not radon is present in the water supply, we recommend having them tested simultaneously. The test is very simple and can be performed in conjunction with the general water quality examination.

QUALITY WATER TEST

We offer a wide variety of water quality sampling that can be done at the time of home inspection. We can perform single item testing such as for the presence of bacteria or e-coli or chloroform, or wider range of analytes from minerals to contaminants. We also offer specific testing required by certain loan programs such as FHA/VA. All of our testing is done through Florida based labs, that provides comprehensive service, quick turn-around, and detailed information for any remediation that may need to occur as a result of the findings.

WHAT IS RADON AND WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It is formed from the decay of uranium in the soil and can enter your home through cracks in the foundation or basement. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, after smoking.

Radon is bad because it can damage your DNA when you breathe it in. This can lead to lung cancer, even if you have never smoked. Have your home tested for Radon today! Radon exposure can also increase your risk of other types of cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma.

Radon levels are higher in some areas of Central Florida than in others. The Florida Department of Health recommends that all homes in Central Florida be tested for radon. Hire a Certified Radon Tester, Sunbird Home Inspections.
