Radon Gas Testing & Mitigation Services

At A To Z Home Inspector Services, LLC, we provide professional radon gas services to home buyers and sellers throughout the Huntsville and north Alabama region. Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can pose serious health risks if elevated levels are present in a home. Accurate testing is essential for making informed real estate and health decisions.

Unlike most home inspectors, we are nationally certified through the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) as both a Residential Measurement Provider (NRPP ID 111423 RT) and a Radon Mitigation Specialist (NRPP ID 112612 RMS). Many inspectors offer radon gas testing without holding national radon credentials; my NRPP certifications demonstrate advanced training, strict standards, and verified competency. This higher level of qualification is what sets A To Z Home Inspector Services apart, allowing us to identify radon problems more accurately than less qualified competitor

Radon Warning Statement

Radon gas levels in Alabama are higher than the national average. According to the Surgeon General, “Indoor radon gas is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, and breathing it over prolonged periods can present a significant health risk to families.” Radon gas is also the leading cause of lung cancer in never smokers. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than twice as many deaths occur from radon induced lung cancer every year than drunk driving deaths.

In fact, nearly one out of every fifteen homes in the United States, whether new or used, have elevated radon levels. The “U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Surgeon General, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommend that ALL homebuyers have an indoor radon test performed prior to purchase or taking occupancy, and recommend having the radon levels mitigated if elevated radon concentrations are found.”

Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay or uranium found in the underlying soil and rocks. Pressure differentials cause radon laden soil gas to be drawn in through openings in the foundation. Radon enters most easily by passing through permeable soil areas or through drainage systems into a home. Gas levels vary considerably from house-to-house and room-to-room. Radon decay particles damage lung tissue over time, which can lead to lung cancer. Fortunately, radon gas can be tested for and mitigated as needed to protect occupants.
