We’ve all run into individuals who seem to always be in a hurry. They can’t stop and take the time to make sure your needs are being met because they’re afraid they’ll miss out on that next big deal. At Texas Country Inspection, we see things differently. For instance, our client’s are a big deal, to us. We feel buying or selling a home should be a careful, well thought out process and no stone should be left covered. We believe in being fair and honest to everyone. Now you simply cannot provide a superior level of service quickly and hastily and at the same time meet and or exceed you’re client’s needs. That is precisely the reason why we believe in being thorough and performing the task correctly, once. We use a unique, multifaceted approach to ensure that our customers are put first, no matter what. When we initially opened, we believed in providing quality customer service to meet your family’s needs, and we still do to this very day. Therefore, we invite you to join us and welcome the opportunity to meet new individuals and learn from their experiences.

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

The soil beneath your house is most likely what’s causing an increased level of radon. This is because soil holds radioactivity for a long time and it’s also what most buildings are built on. Another common source of radon is water from a source that hasn’t been through periodic radon tests, such as well water. Over time, the radon from the soil can inhabit other parts of your house like the foundation or plumbing.

The natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water can cause radon to appear in a home. The gas seeps into homes through cracks in foundations, walls, or floors, as well as through gaps around pipes or construction joints. Radon levels are influenced by soil composition, building materials, and ventilation. Poorly sealed or airtight homes can trap radon, allowing it to accumulate.

If your home has a sump pit, you can integrate it with a radon mitigation system. You can accomplish this by sealing the pump cover with an airtight lid that accommodates radon vent pipes and sump pump hoses. This allows the vent pipe to redirect the radon gas outside of your home.

No level of radon is technically safe, but because it’s everywhere—even in the air outside—it’s impossible to avoid entirely. Instead, the Environmental Protection Agency encourages taking preventative measures if the levels of radon in your home rise above 2 pCi/L. (For reference, the average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 pCi/L.

You should have a professional test for radon every two to five years. A good rule of thumb is to get testing done every five years if you’ve never had an issue before and every two years if you have. You may also want to schedule testing if you notice symptoms of radon exposure or if you do intermittent DIY radon testing and notice changes in your levels between tests. If you have an active radon monitor, you can schedule testing if you notice levels increasing over time.
