Having your home tested for radon gas is easy.

PRO-SPEC Home Inspections, can test your home for Radon Gas.
what is radon gas:
  • Radon is a colorless and odorless natural radioactive gas that is produced by the breakdown of uranium in the earth's crust.
  • Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer in non smokers, second only to the number of lung cancer incidents from cigarette smoke.
  • If you are a smoker, you are at much greater risk from Radon induced lung cancer
  • Radon is a Class A carcinogen.
  • Alpha radiation is released as the Radon Gas decays.
  • Radon is not known to cause any other health problems or symptoms.
  • Radon is estimated to cause over 20,000 lung cancer deaths per year.
  • Approximately 50 US lives are needlessly lost each day, (please test for radon)
  • 1 out of every 5 homes in JEFFERSON/Lewis county is estimated to have elevated radon levels
​Radon is formed by the natural radioactive decay of uranium in rock, soil, and water. Naturally existing, low levels of uranium occur widely in Earth's crust. It can be found in all 50 states. Once produced, radon moves through the ground to the air above. Some remains below the surface and dissolves in water that collects and flows under the ground's surface.
​Radiation
Radon is considered a low level dose of radiation, where harm may occur over long exposure periods. Radon gas is likely to account for the greatest amount of radiation exposure, (55%), in a typical person's lifetime, followed by CAT scans, (11%).

Radon gas enters the home through the slab, basement, or crawl space. Pressure differences within the home (from warm air rising and other natural effects) pull radon into living spaces from the soil. Furnace & air conditioning systems can distribute the air through the structure. Any home in the Watertown NY area may have a radon problem, new or old with or without a basement, sealed basement or not. Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Other less common sources include well water and building materials. Measuring radon concentration in the air is recommended for initial testing.

Most radiation protection specialists believe, (at a minimum), that if you are continuously exposed to levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L then you are at risk. The US EPA's action level for Radon is 4.0 pCi/L.
