Radon Testing & Mitigation Services
Pinchin's C-NRPP* Certified Staff Deliver Professional Radon Testing and Mitigation Services for Due Diligence and Occupant Health and Safety.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is present outdoors and within every building. The problem arises when too much radon accumulates inside a building and becomes an indoor air quality issue and health hazard. You cannot see, smell or taste radon and as a result, elevated levels could be present inside a building and you would never know without testing for it.
How does Radon Enter and Affect your Building?
A common misconception about radon is that it can only enter buildings with basements. Radon can potentially enter any building that is in contact with the underlying soil and/or rock. More information on why to test for Radon in Commercial/Institutional Buildings and Homes.
Testing for Radon
Testing for radon is a relatively simple procedure when testing a single family dwelling but is more complicated when testing a larger building such as a school or office building. Considerations include occupancy patterns within rooms or areas, and the proximity of the device to the floor, walls, ceiling, other objects and mechanical systems in the test area.
