How to Mitigate Radon in Real Estate Transactions
Information may not be reliable

The homeowner and ensure that all other necessary steps are taken to reduce radon levels.

Radon Real Estate Longmont CO is one of the leading causes of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. In fact, according to Radon mitigation experts, it is more dangerous than smoking, because it is inhaled directly and accumulates in the body over time. Radon is a radioactive gas that forms naturally within the earth's crust. It is a decay product of uranium that occurs naturally and is the cause of about 30% of lung cancers and gastrointestinal conditions throughout the world. Most homes built before 1978, when Radon testing was first becoming popular, were not properly tested for Radon.

There are several ways to test for Radon; the most common is a Radon test. A Radon Reduction System will help homeowners know their chances of having high Radon levels. There are two types of Radon measurement systems; Radon testing kits and Radon measurement wells. Radon reduction systems use radio waves to identify Radon in the home. The Radon Reduction Well measures ground level Radon levels and then uses that data to determine the Radon level in your home. Both types of measurement systems are relatively inexpensive and can be easily installed.

Radon testing kits and wells come with instructions, which should be followed for the best results. The Radon test kit comes with a small hand-held Radon detector, a sample collection cup, and a Radon Reduction machine. The instructions include how to collect your urine sample, where to place the sample, and how to interpret the results. Once you have signed the written estimate, you should mail your kit in for testing to the lab. The Radon Reduction machine is also available from many home improvement stores and can also be purchased online.

The Radon test results will indicate if a property is suitable for Radon installation. If a property has a high Radon concentration, you may want to purchase the property at a lower level than the samples showed. This would be to compensate for the increased cost of installation. Your buyer may be able to negotiate a better price if the property has lower radon levels.

If the Radon survey shows there is a high concentration of Radon in a property, it may be necessary to lower the ground level of the house. The Radon test results will indicate the minimum ground level that would be safe for a homeowner to reside in. The buyer may wish to hire a contractor to do the work, or he/she may learn how to perform the process themselves. One method is to use a Radon Reduction System. Other people prefer to do the work themselves.

In most cases, the only way to lower the Radon level is by installing a Radon Reduction System. It is important that the professional performing the mitigation services understands Radon mitigation thoroughly. This is because it is a very dangerous form of particulate matter. There are specific Radon test kits available for home inspection that can be used by individuals to test the levels of Radon gas in their homes.

The Radon test results will show whether the buyer may require a Radon mitigation service. The buyer may have to perform additional tests based on the results of the initial test kit. If the results from the Radon kit are negative, the buyer may wish to perform soil and water testing to determine the minimum safe levels of Radon for his/her home. The home inspection report should include recommendations for lowering the concentration of Radon in the environment, and the methods that have been proven to reduce the concentration of Radon.

If soil and/or drinking water tested indicates that the levels of Radon are above the EPA "safe" level, the seller should not perform any Radon mitigation system work. Instead, the seller should consult with an expert in Radon abatement to determine the best way to successfully reduce radon levels. The seller should work with an experienced Radon mitigation specialist who will determine the cost of the Radon mitigation system. The specialists will also discuss the soil and/or drinking water testing result with the homeowner and ensure that all other necessary steps are taken to reduce radon levels.
