Welcome to Due Dililgence Home Inspections!

Radon is a colorless, odorless and tasteless radioactive gas.
According to the Surgeon General of the United States, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The National Academy of Sciences estimates that radon causes between 15,000 and 22,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States.
The adverse health effects of radon have been verified by the most extensive tests ever done on human subjects for any environmental hazard. Populations of miners all over the world, in all types of mines, have been studied over the last 40 years, and the conclusion is that where elevated levels of radon exist, there is an elevated incidence of lung cancer.
Homes with elevated levels of 4pCi/L (picoliters of radon to one liter of air) or more have been found in every state in the union. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) one out of every 15 homes in the United States is estimated to have an elevated radon level.
There is no "safe" level of radon exposure. However, the U.S. EPA has set an "action" level of 4pCi/L.
The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon.
Fulton, Dekalb, Gwinnett, and Cobb Counties are in Zone 1, that is, a high risk factor for radon, according to the EPA.
The ONLY WAY TO KNOW a home's radon level is to TEST it, since homes that are next to each other can have widely different radon levels.
Radon levels can be reduced. There is no "magic" to radon mitigation. It is accomplished using common construction materials and methods.
Radon mitigation is relatively inexpensive. The EPA estimates the cost to lower radon levels in the average home is only $800 to $2,500.
