Radon exposure can have a negative affect on your health, these are just a small list of symptoms to look for if you feel you may be exposed to radon:

  • Persistent cough
  • Hoarseness
  • Wheezing
  • Shortness of breath
  • Coughing up blood
  • Chest pain
  • Frequent infections like bronchitis and pneumonia
  • Loss of appetite

When looking at purchasing a home in Minnesota or are already a current resident another worry to add to the list is possible Radon exposure.

Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over Minnesota. This occurs when the natural breakdown of uranium in rock, soil, and water gets into the air you breathe.

Radon will make its way up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and crevasses in the foundation.

Our certified radon inspectors will come out to the property and set up a radon test in the home where it will test for 3 days to collect the sample.

Our inspector will then send the test off to our certified lab to have it tested for radon and the levels it is producing. You will then see test results in 1-2 days after test is sent to the lab.

Lab results consider hazardous exposure at 4 pCi/L or higher, Radon levels less than 4 pCi/L still pose a risk and in many cases can be reduced, although it is difficult to reduce levels below 2 pCi/L.
