Why test for radon?
Radon gas is one of the leading causes of lung cancer in the US, second only to smoking. The state of Maine is in Zone 1 of the EPA standards of radon. This means that radon levels in Maine are higher when compared to that of other states. The rock and soil formation beneath your home are easy routes for radon to pass through. Failure to carry out appropriate tests not only puts your health at risk but could be fatal. It is a silent killer that has taken the lives of many.

Our radon level testing service is topnotch and thorough. We begin by performing a total sweep of your home through inspection. Testing is then done to trace the source of the leak and ascertain the radon concentration around you. Our tests identify those cracks, crevices, holes in your basement, and other hidden places that radon could pass through. Call on Maine Radon Pros today, and we will be at your doorstep and get the best radon testing service in Maine. 

Radon Testing Process

You probably are wondering what a radon testing process involves. You should know that at Maine Radon Pros, we follow the EPA guidelines and procedures for testing. These guidelines include:

• How we inspect your home.

 

• How our testing devices are placed in your home or business place.

 

• What you can and cannot do as a homeowner during testing periods, etc.

All these are put in place to ensure the results are accurate. Any interference with the testing device invalidates the results. 

If you are bothered about how this is going to affect your routine, do not worry. Maine Radon Pros follow a smart process that would make testing in your home seamless. We understand that your life and business cannot be put on hold due to testing. And so, we take appropriate steps to ensure that you can continue your business uninterrupted.

Typically, there are short-term and long-term testing. The short-term test would not last for seven days, and it's typically carried out for smaller buildings. A long-term test is carried out for larger structures, especially if it hasn't been tested before. This is why DIY's is not recommended because testing is about getting accurate results. 

Whether long or short-term testing, your convenience is also our concern during the testing process. We have tested for radon in homes just like yours, so we have the required experience to over-deliver on your job. ​

Radon Levels in Maine

The Environmental Protection Agency stresses the importance of knowing the radon levels in your homes. 

The state of Maine has higher levels of radon than most other states because of the type of soil and rock formation.  There are high levels present in all types of buildings. This includes your home, schools, and other business places. Studies reveal that one in three homes in Maine has radon levels above 4.0pCi/L (picocuries per liter).

Maine Radon Pros is here to help reduce those levels. Knowing the radon levels in your old or new homes is not to scare you ; It is to better equip you against the deadly gas around you.

Radon Detector Kit

Regardless of the type of home you reside in, you need to install a proper radon detector. A radon detector is part of a mitigation system. Its function is to monitor the air in your homes continually and monitor fluctuating radon levels. With this detector installed, you can easily know if you are at risk of radon poisoning. 

Maine Radon Pros can help you install a radon gas detector. After remediation, we place our detector kits in strategic areas of your building. This kit will show you if there is a spike in the radon levels. While a small home may need one or two detectors, a multileveled building requires more due to its layout.
