Radon Testing
Radon Testing Services in SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN UTAH
I live in Washington close to exit 13 off of I-15. I tested my home before I started offering radon testing services. I have a finished partial basement and the main level. The basement tested over 300% higher than the highest accepted level of 4 Picocuries. The main floor tested over 150% higher.
Now, what is a “picocurie” (pCi)? A pCi is a measure of the rate of radioactive decay of radon.
I have since had a radon mitigation system installed. My radon level has dropped significantly since then.
If you have concerns about radon in your home, give Healymonster Home Inspections a call and get a radon test.
Trust an Experienced Radon Inspector to Handle Your Concerns
If you are concerned about being at risk for radon poisoning, I should like to let you know my radon testing process is simple, and I can help you find a mitigation company should we find high levels in your home.
You’re exposed to radon when you breathe it in. High amounts of radon may be found in the workplace, a school, or any building. You spend the most time in your home, so that’s where radon exposure is most likely.
Radon can come up through the ground and into your home through cracks in the foundation. Once it’s through the cracks, it can get trapped inside, where it builds up. It can also get into your home through well water. Rarely, building materials have been found to release radon into buildings. Radon exposure can happen in any type of home, whether it has a basement, a crawl space, or is built on a slab, but it’s more likely to accumulate in homes that are:
- Very well insulated
- Tightly sealed
- Located where the soil contains a lot of uranium, thorium, and radium
About one in every 15 homes is thought to have high levels of radon. The highest concentration of radon tends to be found in the basement or on the first floor.
It’s not enough to know that the house next door has been tested, because radon levels can vary from one building to the next. The only way to know for sure if you have too much radon in your home is to test for it. I use the Corentium Pro with Alpha Spectrometry technology.
A radon level of 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or more is considered high. Most of the time, you can reduce radon without making major home renovations or spending a fortune. You can:
- Seal and caulk foundation cracks and openings to help reduce the amount of radon that can enter.
- Install a soil suction radon reduction system, also known as vent pipe and fan system. A three- or four-inch pipe pulls radon from underneath the house and vents it outside. This keeps it from accumulating inside your home.
- Create a gas-permeable layer beneath the slab or flooring. This allows radon to move under your house, but it only works if you have a basement or slab foundation. It’s not for homes with a crawl space.
- Install plastic sheeting. The sheeting goes on top of the gas-permeable layer under the slab to prevent radon from entering your home. If you have a crawl space, the sheeting goes over the crawl space floor.
The Environmental Protection Agency provides detailed information on how to reduce radon in your home, as well as how to find a qualified contractor to do the work. If your radon levels aren’t 4 pCi/L or greater, but come close, it may be worth considering some of these remedies anyway.
Radon is all around us. In fact, you’re probably breathing it in every day, even if it’s at a low level. However, you can’t tell if you’re breathing it in at a high level. The danger in radon exposure is that you can’t see it, taste it, or smell it. And you won’t have any symptoms to alert you.
Radon gas can damage cells in your lungs, which can lead to cancer. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States, though it usually takes 5 to 25 years to develop.
According to the American Cancer Society, smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Radon comes in second. About 10 percent of radon-related cancer deaths involve people who don’t smoke. People who do smoke and are exposed to high levels of radon are at even greater risk. It’s estimated that lowering radon levels below 4 pCi/L could reduce lung cancer deaths by 2 to 4 percent Trusted Source, which could save about 5,000 lives.

Are we sure that radon is a health risk?
EPA already has a wealth of scientific data on the relationship between radon exposure and the development of lung cancer. The scientific experts agree that the occupational miner data is a very solid base from which to estimate risk of lung cancer deaths annually. While residential radon epidemiology studies will improve what we know about radon, they will not supersede the occupational data.
Health authorities like the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Surgeon General, the American Lung Association, the American Medical Association, and others agree that we know enough now to recommend radon testing and to encourage public action when levels are above 4 pCi/L. The most comprehensive of these efforts has been the National Academy of Science’s Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR VI) Report
(see www.epa.gov/radon/health-risk-radon#beir). This report reinforces that radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer and is a serious public health problem. As in the case of cigarette smoking, it would probably take many years and rigorous scientific research to produce the composite data needed to make an even more definitive conclusion.
What about radon and radioactivity in granite countertops?
Does the EPA believe there is a danger of radon gas or associated radiation being emitted from granite countertops?
It is possible for any granite sample to contain varying concentrations of uranium and other naturally occurring radioactive elements. These elements can emit radiation and produce radon gas, a source of alpha and beta particles and gamma rays
(see www.epa.gov/radiation/radiation-terms-and-units). Some granite used for countertops may contribute variably to indoor radon levels. Some types of granite may emit gamma radiation above typical background levels. However, at this time EPA believes that the existing data is insufficient to conclude that the types of granite commonly used in countertops are significantly increasing indoor radon levels.
While radiation levels are not typically high, measurement of specific samples may reveal higher than expected levels on a case-by-case basis. Granite is a naturally occurring igneous rock, meaning that it was formed by the cooling of molten rock. It is quarried and processed to produce commercial products such as countertops.
What advice does the EPA have about radon for consumers who have granite countertops?
EPA believes the principal source of radon in homes is from the soil in contact with basement floors and walls. To reduce the radon risk, you should first test the air in your home to determine the radon level.
While natural rocks such as granite may emit radiation and radon gas, the levels attributable to such sources are not typically high.
Can I test my granite countertops for radiation?
At this time, a generally accepted radiation testing protocol for countertops does not exist, and neither imported nor domestic granite products require radiation testing.

- K LBrian Healy was timely, professional, very nice, patient, thorough, and so very helpful. I had MANY questions about the home he came to inspect, as it's been several years since I bought a home, and Brian didn't hesitate to take extra time out of his schedule to stay and talk to me about the home and the things the home needed to get it in proper working order. He made great suggestions to preserve and extend the life of the appliances and AC/heater in the home, and he even recommended some very helpful tips for proper cleaning and upkeep of these things. When I received my inspection report via email, I found that Brian had taken very thorough pictures and has circled the pictures so I'd know exactly what he was referencing in his comments. As a woman who knows virtually nothing about plumbing, pipes in a yard, roofing, AC/heating units, I found it very easy to follow along with what Brian was saying to me during the inspection, and found it easy to follow his comments in the inspection report with the pictures he provided.

Thanks!UPDATE (8/26/19):We recently found duct tape wrapped around a leaking drain in our guest bathroom, which in turn has caused water damage and mold throughout the vanity.

We were told that the pipe was not leaking during the inspection, but we were not informed about the duct tape fix or any water damage or mold.

- Peter B.Brian Healy did an excellent job! I'm an octogenarian who's moved a lot, bought houses and experienced all the important steps in that process, so I've gotten my share of home inspector reports over the years. Brian's report stood out. I was able to meet him at the site so he could point out physically what he found. And when I received his written report with pictures, it was equally impressive. He's thorough, articulate and professionally keen-eyed. He offers some value-added extras, and for me, at least was the lowest priced offer I received. I decided against the house that I asked him to inspect -- but when I narrow my search down again, I'll definitely use his services.read moreread less

- Michelle PierceBrian was very efficient and timely when I asked him with only a few days notice to do an inspection on our Mom's home this past Spring, 2018. Thorough, reasonable priced and professional. And to top it off - he even answered a brief industry question via email for me months later in Sept. 2018 about an inspection we had here in Fort Worth on our home. So kind and generous too!read moreread less

Not only was the inspector knowledgeable, quickly available and so pleasant to work with, - he also went above and beyond explaining things to me and provided recommendations for other companies whose services I needed.

- Amy MartinezBeing a first time home buyer, I was definitely nervous and overwhelmed with the entire process. when it was time to inspect the home, I was given a list of home inspectors, but of course wanted to do my research and I'm glad I did.

Mr. Healy was extremely thorough in inspecting the entire home, and like I said, explained everything as we went through the home.

- S LandersBrian Healy saved me thousands of dollars in costly home repairs on a home that I (optimistically) thought just needed many cosmetic updates. The house had a/c units and water furnaces that did not operate (no cool air, no air period and no hot water), significant electrical issues and a family of racoons camped out in the attic...just to name the big ticket items! Unfortunately the seller was unwilling to negotiate and I terminated my contract. But two weeks later I had found another house and I called Brian back and asked for him to do another inspection for me. He did a great job (both times!) and I really appreciate his expertise. Thanks Brian!read moreread lessGume SanchMr. Healy came out today to do a home inspection on a house we just purchased. He was very professional and explained everything he was doing.

Having used other inspectors in the past, I have been very cautious about the inspectors and I would highly recommend Brian anytime. If my review could help ease any caution you would have about inspectors, then I would be most willing to give you my candid and private review of his most professional and down to earth inspection.There was an item that could not be inspected, because the home owner had it nailed shut. Once the home owner made it accessible, a couple days later, Brian was going to come back out and inspect the item. However, it was minor enough that I could do the inspection and send him pictures. He gave me instructions of what to look for and when I sent him the pictures he was able to give his opinion. If I buy a house in another area, another time, I would want Brian to come do my inspection.Brian saved my back side on this inspection!!read moreread less

- Thomas G.Mr Healy conducted an inspection on our home last year. He was punctual with the appointment and did a very through inspection looking at several things we would never have thought of. His suggestions for repair and improvement were extremely beneficial. Of equal value was this findings that some things did not need improvement, repair or modification. This final recommendation proved invaluable in protecting us as senior citizens from unscrupulous repairmen and contractors.Well worth the time and cost.read moreread less
