When you schedule Radon Testing with a certified home inspector the most industry When you schedule a radon test with a certified home inspector, the most advanced monitors - Corentium Pro - are used to measure harmful radon levels in your home.
Why is it important to have a radon test?
Radon is a gas that is both odorless and invisible. It originates from the ground and enters your home through air and water. Radon has been strongly linked to an increased risk of lung cancer. Many areas throughout Alaska have elevated and unsafe levels of radon. You cannot know for sure whether or not your home is affected unless you have it tested by a licensed home inspection professional.
Unfortunately, many households have to deal with unwanted guests, such as mold. Mold is an environmental hazard that can cause serious health problems if not addressed. Moreover, mold can grow and spread within 24 to 48 hours. A mold inspection can identify any signs of mold growth and environmental factors that encourage it. Additionally, mold testing can confirm the presence of any visible growth or airborne spores in your home.
A Thermal Infrared (IR) Camera scan of key areas of the home to uncover issues that may otherwise not be visible to the naked eye. Infrared (thermal imaging) is an advanced, non-invasive technology that allows our home inspector professional to show homeowners things about their homes that can’t be revealed using conventional inspection methods.
An Annual Home Maintenance Inspection is an inspection that is carried out either yearly or biennially. The primary objective of this inspection is to detect any problems with the house that homeowners might not be able to identify on their own. It is often easier and less expensive to fix a problem or defect the earlier it is discovered. For example, a roof leak found and fixed soon after it starts may only require replacing a few shingles or a piece of flashing. However, if the same roof leak is left unattended it may necessitate costly structural repair, drywall repair, and mold remediation, resulting in a much higher cost for the homeowner.
