The Silent Killer: Radon Gas Exposure
Radon is an odorless, invisible radioactive gas formed by the natural decay of uranium in soil and rock. According to the US EPA and Health Canada, radon exposure is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for over 21,000 deaths annually in the US alone.
Because radon levels fluctuate by season, soil porosity, and foundation type, home buyers in radon-prone zones routinely request testing. Offering Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) testing adds $150 to $225 in high-margin revenue per inspection.
1. Closed-House Protocols & EPA 4.0 pCi/L Thresholds
Radon testing requires strict adherence to a 48-hour Closed-House Protocol: keeping all exterior windows and doors shut (except normal entry/exit) for at least 12 hours prior to and throughout the 48-hour test period.
The EPA action level is 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) (or 200 Bq/m³ in Canada). Any test result averaging at or above 4.0 pCi/L requires recommending a active soil depressurization (ASD) radon mitigation system ($1,200 to $1,800 installation cost).
