At Marigold Home Services, we use industry-leading technology to conduct our Radon Tests, which are administered by our Licensed Radon Measurement Professionals. We will set up the machine according to state requirements in the least-disruptive area of the home possible, and you will receive clear instructions regarding the test. When the test is complete, you will receive a PDF report soon after, as our machines are connected to the Verizon network. This means that you don’t have to wait to get your results! We will then schedule a time to pick up the testing machine, and you’ll have clear and accurate results.
Some things to note about the testing process: A test takes 48 hours to complete, and you must maintain “closed home conditions” for the duration of the test, meaning that all windows/doors/garage doors remain closed except for normal entry and exit.
Note: You must be the current homeowner and not currently engaged in a real estate transaction for the property to receive this discount.
What is Radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is a byproduct of uranium and radium breaking down in the earth’s soil. As uranium and radium decay, they release the gas known as Radon into the earth’s atmosphere. Since Radon is a radioactive gas, it poses health concerns to humans when we are exposed to concentrated levels. As Radon enters the body it decays into heavy radioactive metals that break down and permanently damage cell tissue.
Long term exposure to concentrated levels of Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and the second leading cause of lung cancer in smokers.
PicoCuries per liter is the unit of measurement for Radon gas and the average estimated outdoor levels are around 0.4 pCi/L. The average estimated indoor levels of homes in the US is 1.3 pCi/L. The In Minnesota, 2 in 5 homes have high levels of Radon where mitigation is recommended.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends having your home mitigated if indoor Radon levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher. Mitigation should be considered when levels are between 2.0 – 4.0 pCi/L.
