What's Involved in a Radon Inspection?

When it comes to safeguarding your home or commercial space from hidden dangers, a professional radon inspection should never be overlooked. Radon is colorless, odorless, and undetectable without specialized equipment, while the health consequences of prolonged exposure can be serious. At SafeSpring Radon Testing, we help clients in Gainesville and across North Central Florida uncover their radon levels with detailed, reliable inspections. For homeowners seeking peace of mind, landlords maintaining rental compliance, or real estate agents facilitating transactions, knowing what’s involved in a radon inspection helps you make confident, informed decisions about mitigation and ongoing protection. Let’s dig into it.

Initial Consultation and Site Review

Every inspection begins with a thorough walk-through of the property. Our radon inspectors assess structural features, foundation types, and potential radon entry points – like crawlspaces, sump pumps, and floor cracks. This site-specific review helps determine optimal testing locations and duration, especially important for homes with complex layouts or mixed-use spaces. During the consultation, we also explain the difference between short-term radon tests and long-term radon tests, helping clients choose the option that best suits their goals. Whether it’s a quick check for a home sale or a deeper evaluation for health planning, our inspections are always tailored to your situation. Not sure what you need? We’ll be ready with advice!

Deployment of Testing Equipment

Once we’ve completed the initial walkthrough, we deploy calibrated testing devices in key locations – typically in the lowest livable level of the structure, where radon levels are often highest. These tests measure radon concentration in pCi/L, the standard unit used in the U.S., and are placed away from drafts or heat sources to maintain accuracy. For clients seeking more extensive data, especially in schools or rental properties, we also offer commercial radon testing with advanced monitors. If you're looking to comply with the radon action level or proactively monitor for danger, our equipment meets all EPA and state guidelines for professional testing.

Reviewing the Results

After the test duration ends – which can be anywhere from 2 days to 90 days depending on the type of test you choose – we collect the devices and process the data. Our detailed report includes radon concentration levels, comparison to the EPA’s 4.0 pCi/L threshold, and practical guidance on what to do next. If results are elevated, we explain the implications of radon health risks and offer recommendations for follow-up. Our goal is to keep you informed without pressure or upselling, while giving you a clear path forward.
