Radon and Your Health

radondeathsRadon is a radioactive gas.  It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.

You can't see radon. And you can't smell it or taste it. But it may be a problem in your home.

Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Nearly 1 out of every 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated radon levels. Elevated levels of radon gas have been found in homes in both Kansas and Missouri.

Our service provides accurate, timely and reliable data while maintaining the highest level of customer service and technical support in the industry. To achieve this goal, we have developed a Quality Assurance Program to govern all aspects of the sampling, laboratory analysis and consulting services. The Quality Assurance Program is a set of guidelines and requirements for procurement, handling of samples, personnel management, data validation, chain of custody and the highest standard systematic approach to laboratory and consulting operations.

After our 96 hour sampling our certified NRSB (National Radon Safety Board) laboratory results are normally available within 7 days, in a variety of report formats.
