Radon Testing in Northern Nevada: What Homeowners and Buyers Should Know

Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., and you can't see, smell or taste it. It seeps up from the soil into homes, and many parts of Northern Nevada have elevated levels. The only way to know your number is to test.

What Is a Safe Radon Level?

The EPA recommends fixing a home when radon is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, and suggests considering action between 2 and 4. Radon levels vary house to house, even on the same street, so a neighbor's result doesn't tell you yours.

How a Professional Radon Test Works

• A calibrated continuous radon monitor is placed in the lowest livable level of the home

• Closed-house conditions are kept for at least 48 hours

• You get a written report with your results and what they mean

• If levels are high, we explain your options before you spend a dime on mitigation

Radon testing is done by an NRPP-certified Radon Measurement Professional, which matters: a certified tester follows standardized protocols so the result holds up in a real estate transaction.

Testing When You Buy or Sell

Radon testing is a common add-on to a home inspection. Buyers get peace of mind, and sellers with a clean result have a strong selling point. See what each service typically costs in our home inspection pricing guide.
