What is Radon?
Radon is a serious but often overlooked issue in homes across Grand Rapids, Michigan. Because many homes in the area have basements and are built on soil that can allow radon gas to seep in, professional radon testing is essential for protecting your family’s health.
At JW Inspection Services, we provide accurate and reliable radon inspections in Grand Rapids, helping homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals detect unsafe radon levels before they become a risk.
How Does Radon Get Into Homes in Grand Rapids?
Radon gas moves up through the soil and can enter homes through:
- Foundation cracks
- Basement floors and walls
- Sump pump openings
- Crawl spaces
Since many homes in Grand Rapids include basements, they are especially vulnerable to radon buildup if not properly tested.
How Do I Know if a House Has High Levels of Radon Gas?
Testing is the only way to know if your home in Grand Rapids, MI has elevated radon levels. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes, especially those with basements or located below the third floor, as radon can accumulate in enclosed spaces.
Radon testing is performed using specialized equipment designed to measure radon gas levels accurately. Our team will schedule a visit to your Grand Rapids home, place the testing devices in the appropriate locations, and monitor levels over a 48-hour period or as required for accurate readings.
Once testing is complete, we collect the devices and provide you with a clear, detailed report of the results so you can understand your home’s radon levels and take action if needed.
JW Inspection Services calibrates all radon testing equipment regularly to ensure accurate and reliable results.
We also provide professional radon inspection services for homeowners in nearby communities including Grandville, Wyoming, and Kentwood.
