January is National Radon Action Month.

January 28th, 2008 Categories: Radon

Radon testing when buying or selling a home in Maggie Valley or Waynesville, NC or surrounding cities that comprise all of Haywood County, NC, is an important aspect of due diligence. Based on a North Carolina State survey, 6.7%, or 1 out of 15 homes, have radon levels that exceed the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L. For this reason, it is important that your due diligence, whether buying or selling, includes testing the home to determine the radon levels. Should the levels be above the EPA Action Level, radon mitigation is recommended, which prevents radon from entering the home through the soil beneath the home. Costs involved with reducing radon levels vary of course; however, the cost to install preventive systems in homes under construction is much less expensive than mitigation.
