Elevated Radon Gas Levels Have Been Found In Tallahassee, FL
This is not new information! Tal
lahassee, FL home buyers and home-owners should know that we have found elevated levels of radon in our area. Just because your neighbor does not have it, does not mean you don’t, (or vice-versa)!
Radon occurs naturally in the air that we breathe, but not in such concentrated amounts to make us sick in most cases. Thanks to sophisticated, accurate testing methods used today and recommended by the EPA, radon gas has been identified, and in most cases remediated (or removed from homes) using ventilation systems that draw radon away from the interior of our homes where it concentrates and causes health problems.

There are three types of Radon testing kits:
First, there are the store-bought radon kits… Don’t do it! There are too many variables involved, including tampering, weather conditions, improper location of test kits, etc. Results can be inaccurate and are not certified results. The second type of testing are low-tech, low-sensitivity monitors used by many home inspectors, but these devices do not meet the single device monitoring requirements for real estate professionals. The third type of radon testing kit and most reliable, are Rad-a-link monitors. They are precise, highly sensitive and only available to trained, certified and licensed radon inspectors who insure that these machines are calibrated properly and maintained for quality and accurate results. These machines are tamper sensitive as well. Reports issued by Radalink are available to the customer within one hour after data submission as well. This can be critical when under inspection deadlines and when negotiations for remediation are needed.
