What Home Buyers & Sellers Should Know About Radon Video PSA

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Breathing Easy: What Home Buyers and Sellers Should Know About Radon. EPA 402-C-03-002. The video satisfies a long-standing need for a short visual educational tool on how to best include radon in residential real estate transactions. With a bit of light humor, the video covers the basics, including radon science, the lung cancer risk, home inspection, building a new home radon-resistant, testing and fixing a home, disclosure, state radon offices, hotline and web resources, and key radon numbers, e.g., EPA's action level and the U.S. indoor and outdoor averages. The primary audiences are home buyers and sellers, and real estate sales agents and brokers. Home inspectors, mortgage lenders, other real estate practitioners, and radon services providers will also find the video helpful. Single copies of the video are in VHS, CD, and DVD formats [ask for (EPA 402-V-02-003) (TRT 13.10)]. Producer: Environmental Protection Agency. epa.gov. Creative Commons license: Public Domain.

Well done! Tested our home three weeks ago and had a rating of 11.3 Just had our home mitigation system put in last Friday. It's now down to ....under 1! Very happy about that. We paid $925.00. Great company. Check out Angies List! Get it done right or don't spend the money. Thank you.

A form of indoor air pollution that was previously unsuspected has emerged as a major health concern. It is caused by the radioactive gas radon, which is released by the uranium naturall contained in rock and soil. When it is present, radon seeps through cracks in the basement or floor and enters the air of a house.

@angellovescats How did it go? Have you retested for radon? Is it back or correctly mitigated?

In Connecticut we have been testing Radon Gas using Continuous Monitors for over 25 years. Remember having the test performed by a Nationally Certified radon tester will assure you that the test is done properly, following EPA/AARST Guidelines and that your tester can explain the process for repairing any problems found. Reducing radon levels in your new home is easy, cost effective and will help keep your family safe. Steve Gladstone President, Stonehollow Home Inspections 2004 ASHI President
