Radon Testing Services

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter a home from the soil beneath it. It cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. The only way to know whether elevated radon levels are present is to test.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Radon Is a Concern

Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels can increase the risk of lung cancer. Because radon is invisible and odorless, a home can have elevated levels without any visible warning signs.

Radon may enter your home through:

  • Foundation cracks
  • Floor penetrations
  • Sump pits
  • Crawlspaces
  • Utility openings
  • Gaps around pipes and foundations

Testing is the only reliable way to determine a home’s radon level.

LOCAL INSIGHT

Radon in Michigan & Wisconsin

Elevated radon levels have been found throughout Michigan and Wisconsin, including areas of Upper Michigan and Northeast Wisconsin. Radon levels can vary from one home to the next. A neighbor’s test result does not determine the radon level in your home, and the age or condition of the home does not eliminate the need for testing.

When Should Radon Testing Be Considered?

Radon testing is commonly recommended:

  • During a home purchase
  • During a real estate transaction
  • Before finishing a basement
  • After major remodeling projects
  • Following installation of a radon mitigation system
  • When previous radon testing has not been performed
  • For homeowners seeking peace of mind
  • Adding it to a home inspection before closing

OUR PROCESS

How Our Radon Testing Works

PRO-TEC uses continuous radon monitors to measure radon levels inside the home. The monitor remains in the home for a minimum of 48 hours while recording radon levels throughout the testing period. In some situations, the test period may be extended due to access, scheduling, or testing conditions. After the testing period is complete, the data is downloaded and reviewed.

What You Receive

Clients receive an electronic PDF report that can be printed, saved, or shared. Your report includes:

  • Radon test results
  • Testing period information
  • Explanation of the findings
  • Recommended action levels
  • Documentation for real estate transactions

GOOD TO KNOW

What to Expect with Radon Testing

Radon Testing During Real Estate Transactions

Radon testing is one of the most common environmental tests requested during a home purchase. Testing during the inspection period allows buyers and sellers to address potential concerns before closing. Radon testing can usually be scheduled along with the home inspection.

Post-Mitigation Testing

PRO-TEC performs radon testing only. We do not install mitigation systems. If elevated levels are found, we can provide referrals to local mitigation contractors when needed. Independent post-mitigation testing is also available.

Local Experience Matters

Homes throughout Upper Michigan and Northeast Wisconsin can experience elevated radon levels, including older homes, newer homes, homes with basements, and homes with crawlspaces. PRO-TEC has inspected homes throughout the region for decades. Our experience with local construction, basements, crawlspaces, and foundation systems helps us understand the conditions commonly found in area homes. We serve Menominee, Marinette, Escanaba, Iron Mountain, Green Bay, Oconto, and surrounding communities throughout Upper Michigan and Northeast Wisconsin.
