Radon Testing
Kansas City, MO 64133
Jackson County
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. Because radon has no color, odor, or taste, the only practical way to know the concentration inside a home is to test it.
Metro One Home Inspection provides professional radon testing for properties throughout Kansas City. Electronic monitoring equipment records radon conditions during the test period and a report is provided with the measured results.
Radon can enter a building through openings in and around the foundation, including cracks, joints, penetrations, sump areas, and other pathways between the structure and the soil. The concentration can vary from one property to another, so a neighboring home's result cannot determine the radon level in another home.
Radon is commonly reported in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L). The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon when the measured level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher and recommends considering action for levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L.
Elevated radon does not necessarily mean a home should be avoided. Radon levels can often be reduced with a properly designed mitigation system. Common approaches use active soil depressurization to collect radon beneath the structure and exhaust it safely outdoors.
Depending on the home's foundation and construction, a qualified radon mitigation professional may use sub-slab suction, drain-tile suction, sump-based suction, crawlspace membrane systems, or other appropriate methods. The system should be designed for the specific property and followed by testing to verify performance.
