Radon
Florida law requires the person that places and picks up the radon
test must be certified by the FL DOH to do so. (example: Doug Wall R1751)
AND
The REPORT must come from a FL DOH certified Radon Measurement Business
(example: WallRadon Testing Inc. RB1938)
Elevated Radon levels are generally mitigated differently in
Naples, Ft Myers or Cape Coral area than they are "up north". http://radonfix.com/ is a good source for information on South Florida radon mitigations.

GOT GAS?
We have performed over 13,000 radon tests in South Florida.
Real Estate
We perform Radon Tests for Real Estate transactions using a Femto Tech monitor with hour by hour reading
of the radon level, barometric pressure, temperature and humidity. We also use a passive radon test from Air Chek, Inc. as
a quality control test with every monitor to ensure you receive the BEST test.
Assisted Living Facilities & Multifamily
Complexes
We use passive radon tests from Air Chek which can be a “short
term” test 2 to 4 days or a “Long Term” test (Alpha Track) 90 days to 12 months.
Radon is a gas produced by the radioactive decay of the element radium and
has a half-life of 3.8 days. Because it is a gas, Radon can more easily leave the rocks and soils by escaping into fractures
and openings in rocks and into the pore spaces between grains of soil. The soil's permeability controls the amount and
rate at which Radon is able to enter a structure. The three factors that determine a soil's permeability are: the amount
of water present in the pore space, the percentage of pore space in the soil and the interconnectedness of those pore spaces.
Coarse sand and gravel therefore allow for a greater amount of Radon to move through it as opposed to more permeable soils
like clay. The more readily Radon can pass through the soil, the greater opportunity it has to collect inside a building.
In
the United States, Radon is second only to cigarette smoking in causing lung cancer. Radon is oderless and
colorless and therefore unrecognizable when present.
According to the Florida Department of Health: "In some areas of Florida, one out
of two homes has excessive amounts of radon."
We recommend all homes and multifamily
units be tested for radon. Many buyers of multifamily units want to have random testing for radon. This is not the best method
for determining if a complex needs radon mitigation in our experience. Test all 1st floor units.
Many IAQ professionals have also had the same experience:
If the client (buyer) of multifamily buildings do not test
all of the buildings and all units the liability for tenant exposure to radon could be a problem in the future. Testing of
non-occupied spaces such as storage rooms and elevator shafts are helpful information for radon mitigation but not required
for home or unit exposure concerns.
Radon and Radon Decay Product Measurements In Multifamily Buildings“This standard specifies procedures, minimum requirements and general guidance for measurement of radon
and radon decay product concentrations in Multifamily buildings comprised of more than three attached dwellings.”
For an in-depth look at radon, the United Staes Environmental Protection Agency
(E.P.A.) has extensive information available for the general public: www.epa.gov
Although
radon gas is a serious health threat to all of us, too often, it is ignored and or misunderstood.
It is a serious health concern but is just another home repair when mitigated properly.
"The state of Florida has a mandatory radon testing program for public
facilities in the majority of counties in Florida. These public facilities include public and private schools, state
licensed day care centers, and 24 hour care facilities such as nursing homes and hospitals." FL DOH
Interestingly however,
Collier and Lee Counties do not fall under this mandatory testing. This is a concern as the Florida Department of Health
shows that 1 in 4 residential dwellings in Lee and Collier counties have radon levels above the established limit considered
safe.
We have performed over 13,000 radon tests.
Our clients tell us these are the best

Your Marco Island, Cape Coral, Naples
or Bonita Springs radon test MUST be performed by a FL DOH certified Radon Measurement Business and the person
placing and picking up the test MUST also be FL DOH certified to do so.
Cape Coral consumers should really be cautious that the
person placing their radon test is FL DOH certied for radon testing. The individual must be certified not
the home inspection company or the "boss".
