I established Bay & Beyond Inspection Services in May 2018 after a 25 year career as an electrician in the Air Force and 13 years as a Maine code enforcement officer. I have received extensive training and continuing education courses to keep up with the ever changing construction industry. I have an associates degree in electrical mechanical technologies and am a state certified third-party inspector for all phases of construction. I am a state certified septic system inspector and hold national and state certifications as a radon testing and analytical lab. I am a member of International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI) and the Maine Building Officials and Inspectors Association (MBOIA). So what does all this mean to you, my customer? I am a highly trained and experienced inspector that works only for you, my customer. I don't work for real estate agents or any other third party involved with the property you hired me to inspect. You will receive an unbiased and honest report detailing what I observed during the inspection. This is not a pass/fail rating, but detailed information that will provide you with the confidence you need to make one of your biggest investment decisions of your life. Rest assured that I will inspect your property no differently than I would if I were purchasing the property myself. This is my promise to you. Tod Rosenberg, Owner

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

Yes, radon testing is absolutely necessary if you suspect the presence of this hazardous gas, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing for all homes in the country. Radon is a pervasive natural gas that can leak through your home’s foundation and seep into the living areas. Unfortunately, the gas is highly carcinogenic and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon testing is crucial for keeping you and your family safe from harm, so hire a radon mitigation specialist to test your home if you suspect its presence in your home.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

Radon testing costs around $450 on average, but you could pay between $150 and $800 for testing, depending on a few factors. The size of your house is one of the most significant cost factors, as your radon professional will have to set up additional tests for homes with larger footprints. The type of test can also have an impact on the cost. Finally, some radon testing companies will include a recommended protocol for radon mitigation, while others might charge $50 to $100 extra.

Professional radon detection involves placing test kits in the lowest lived-in level of the house for a period, usually 48 hours to several months, followed by lab analysis of collected data.

Keeping radon from getting into your home is much better than having to get rid of it once it's already indoors. While there may not be a way to fully prevent radon from getting into your home, there are things you can do to reduce the gas's ability to enter. 

Sealing foundation cracks and openings can help keep the gas from seeping inside. Improving air flow, such as by opening windows, can also be helpful. If you're building your home from scratch, talk to your contractor about using radon-resistant construction to keep the gas out.
