Why Radon Testing is Important: Protect Your Home and Health
Why radon testing is essential for your home’s safety
When it comes to protecting your home and ensuring the well-being of your family, radon testing is a critical yet often overlooked step. Radon is an odorless, invisible gas that seeps into homes from the soil. At Wright Choice Property Inspection, we work alongside Breathe Wright Radon and Air Quality Services to provide thorough and professional radon testing services, helping you safeguard your home from this hidden danger.
What is radon and why is it dangerous?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can enter homes through cracks in floors, walls, and foundations. Though undetectable without testing, radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The only way to know if your home has unsafe radon levels is through testing.
Why radon testing is crucial for every home
The hidden health risk of radon exposure – No matter where your home is located or how old it is, radon can be a potential risk. Even homes in low-risk regions can have elevated radon levels. The longer you’re exposed to high radon concentrations, the greater your risk of developing lung cancer. Testing is the only way to know whether your home is safe.
A simple and quick process – Wright Choice Property Inspection partners with Breathe Wright Radon and Air Quality Services to provide efficient, accurate radon testing. The testing process is simple and non-invasive. We place a device in your home for a short period to measure the radon levels. Once the testing is complete, you’ll receive detailed results and, if necessary, recommendations for mitigating high radon levels.
Effective radon mitigation solutions – If your test results show elevated radon levels, don’t worry. Radon mitigation systems are designed to lower radon concentrations and maintain a safe environment in your home. Breathe Wright specializes in installing these mitigation systems, ensuring radon is safely vented from your home. With the right system in place, your home will remain protected.

Boost property value and peace of mind – Radon testing is an increasingly important consideration in real estate transactions. Buyers are often aware of the dangers of radon exposure and may require testing before purchasing a home. Having your home tested, and a mitigation system installed if needed, can increase your property’s value and marketability.
When should you test for radon?
The EPA recommends testing your home for radon every two years, especially if you’ve never had a test or if significant renovations have taken place. Testing is also essential during real estate transactions or when major changes to your home’s ventilation have occurred. Even if your home has previously been tested, radon levels can fluctuate, so regular testing is key.
