Ridgeline Inspection Service is a trained Radon Measurement Provider. We offer short term and long term tadon testing. Trust us to provide you an independent testing source with the knowledge of proper testing procedures.
Short term testing A majority of Real Estate transaction testing is done with short term testing due to time constraints. To keep your transaction moving we use short term continuous radon monitoring systems with hourly feedback. These monitors meet the EPA requirements and can have results in as little as 48 hours. Not buying a house, but concerned with the radon levels in your home? We are here to help you determine if you should take action to lower radon levels in your living space. Passive and active radon monitors are used. Our short term passive devices are set up in pairs 100% of the time to ensure you have results you can rely on. Long Term Testing If there are not time constraints, such as in a Real Estate transaction, long term testing can give you a better idea of the average levels in a home during all four seasons. These tests can last 91 days to 12 months, the longer the better. We also use two passive monitors on all long term testing to ensure accurate results. |
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is odorless, colorless and tasteless. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States next to smoking. The EPA recommends radon mitigation for levels at or above 4 pCi/L. Almost 50% of homes tested in Missoula county have readings higher than what the EPA recommends (http://county-radon.info/MT/Missoula.html). Radon mitigation easy and relatively inexpensive for a home improvement. If you have not had your home tested we highly recommend doing so for the safety and peace of mind of you and your family.
