"I had a Wind Mitigation Inspection performed on my roof. My inspector was Darius Woods. He was punctual, polite, respectful of me and my property, he maintained great communication from the moment the appointment was set all the way up to an hour before the appointment. I can’t yet speak on communication after inspection, only because he literally just left my house 10 mins ago, but he did give me ample opportunities to ask questions and made sure I was happy with the inspection before he left. He also told me if I did have any questions afterwards, that I could contact him, and he provided his cell number along with his business card. He held true to his promise of sending the report before he left my property. If I ever have to have another house or roof inspection, I will definitely choose Webb Property Inspections and hope that they send Darius again!"

Radon Detection and Reduction questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

No level of radon is technically safe, but since it is naturally present everywhere, it is impossible to avoid entirely. The average radon level in homes across the United States is 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home's test results are between 2 and 4 pCi/L or higher.

Radon enters your home when warm air begins to rise and exits through the roof, creating a vacuum that pulls cooler air from under the foundation. Part of that air is radon, which is an invisible, odorless gas that develops naturally when radioactive particles are deep within the ground. Those particles usually come from decaying matter in soil and rocks.

Mitigation reduces radon levels, protecting your health and complying with safety standards.
