As the weather starts to thaw and the birds begin to sing, people also get the urge to start a new. A new house that is. That means going house shopping. It is that time of year when people start to get the urge to start a new, a new house that is. Or, should I say a new exist the time of year when we may be starting to think about buying a home. While there are many considerations to keep in mind,, being it in life-savings purchase, radon testing is one of the best investments with little cost involved. After all, when it comes to safety for your family, what's a hundred dollars or two, when it means less chance of cancer. After all, a radon test can be a lifesaver.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), suggests that radon, the odorless gas, is the proven second cause of lung cancer throughout the United States. When calculated to actual deaths, approximately 21,000 deaths annually recorded.

But, how many of us really know radon actually exists or why it's so bad for us? We know about smoke detectors and carbon monoxide testers, but who ever thinks of radon when protecting and checking for environmental hazards? That's probably why it happens most when we shop for a new place to live. Here in Hartland, Wisconsin, we have radon testing or measurement written right into the offer to purchase. It's right there in the small print, a reminder to check for it before that big purchase.

There are home inspectors that offer radon testing, but best of all Hartland has actual radon measurement professionals that will test a home for radon. The test is usually placed in the home for 48 hours left undisturbed. That means to close all the windows and doors for 12 hours before testing. People tend to think they can’t be in the home before or during the test, but they absolutely can be. The residents simply must be alerted not run any sort of fans or any type of air circulation. Burning wood in fireplaces is a must-not.

Radon test is then retrieved and mailed to the lab. Or, if a continuous radon monitor is used, the data is uploaded and can be read onsite. Later, a report is prepared and the measurement sampled is presented to the ordering party, usually the perspective buyers.

It's easy, economical and well worth the money and effort. Of course, when levels are high, radon mitigation is proposed, but when the samples comes back low, it's just peace of mind and a very happy feeling to know you ill be safe in your quaint and sweet Hartland home.
