Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in the ground, in ground water, and in building materials.
Radon increases the risk of getting lung cancer when it accumulates indoors, which is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers.
Any home or building can have high levels of radon, no matter where it is located or how it is built.
Materials used in construction can also be a source of radon gas, inlcuding structural concrete products which can affect all floors of a building.
Radon in U.S. homes causes over 21,000 U.S. deaths per year.*
Most home inspectors can test your home for radon, but not all of them use highly accurate equipment and testing methods.
Inspectors using Radalink™ blind continuous radon monitors will offer test results that you can trust to be both accurate and unbiased.
Why Radalink™ Inspectors Test Differently
Radalink-affiliated inspectors are the only ones who outsource test analysis to the independent lab at Radalink, and test with lab-owned equipment that runs advanced self-diagnostics before every test. That diagnostic process ensures highly accurate functionality right before the equipment begins measuring radon and other factors over a two-day minimum period.
Blind is Better!
Radalink equipment prevents the inspector or occupant from seeing and manipulating test data during the test. After every radon test, encrypted test data, which also indicates environmental fluxuations and tempering attempts, is uploaded to the Radalink lab to be decrypted. Only then is it seen and analyzed by a human radon expert. This method guarantees complete confidence in the results reported to you.
