Residential Radon FAQs
Why do Atlanta homes need radon testing?
Georgia's geology includes granite formations that can contribute to elevated radon levels across Metro Atlanta. Residential radon testing is the only way to know if your home has elevated radon levels. The EPA recommends testing all homes, especially those with basements or ground-level living spaces where radon can accumulate.
How much does residential radon mitigation cost?
Residential radon mitigation costs in Atlanta vary based on home size and foundation type. Contact us for a property-specific estimate. Mitigation is typically a one-time installation with minimal ongoing costs, primarily periodic fan replacement (often 10-15 years) and optional retesting.
Can radon levels change over time in my home?
Yes. Radon levels can fluctuate due to weather, soil conditions, and changes to your home's structure. Retesting every 2-5 years is recommended, as well as after major renovations and before real estate transactions.
What if I'm buying or selling a home in Atlanta?
Radon testing is common during real estate transactions in Metro Atlanta. Many buyers request radon tests during inspections. If elevated radon levels are found, mitigation can often be coordinated quickly. Testing can be scheduled to align with inspection periods.
Is radon more common in Atlanta basements?
Radon gas enters homes through foundation openings and can accumulate in basements and ground-level rooms. Atlanta homes with basements may show higher radon levels than those on slab foundations. Professional testing identifies problem areas, and mitigation systems are designed to reduce levels throughout the home.
