Radon:
This inspection includes the placement of
testing devices to measure the ongoing level of
radon in the habitable areas of the home. We
typically use continuous monitors. These devices
will let us know actual house conditions several
times every hour. These
measurements evaluate the level of radon to
determine if any form of improvement is required.
South Carolina does not license or certify radon
measurement technicians or mitigation contractors.
That is why you should seek out the services of an
independently certified professional. NRSB (National
Radon Safety Board) and
NEHA-NRPP are independent certification bodies
dedicated to professionalism in the radon industry. The EPA document
A Citizen's Guide To Radon (Third Edition)
provides the basic information everyone should know
about Radon. For more information on how to reduce
your radon health risk, call your
state radon office for copies of these guides:
If you
plan to make repairs yourself, be sure to contact
your
state radon office or visit our publications
site for a current copy of EPA's technical guidance
on radon mitigation, "Application of Radon Reduction
Techniques for Detached Houses. "
