"Using Greg was the best decision my wife and I made while we were searching for a home. As any Asheville home buyer will tell you, the market is insane. Homes that are on the market almost always have serious defects, or they’re priced 100k+ over pre-pandemic levels. Greg can’t make it easier to find a home, but, once you find a home you think you like, his expertise will make you feel confident in your decision. He has encyclopedic knowledge of all rules and regulations required by North Carolina, but is also aware of various small repairs that pay dividends. For example, diligently painting your door jams is an easy way to prevent rot (unfortunately, neither of the homes we had inspected followed this tip). We’ve had multiple friends, family members, and contractors comment on how incredibly detailed Greg’s inspections have been. We had two inspections done by him, with our last inspection totalling seventy-three (73!) pages, complete with numerous pictures and videos. To put that into context, my sister-in-law’s inspection (not done by Greg) was only 24 pages, despite her home being older with at least as many problems. Aside from his comprehensive inspections, Greg is a genuinely pleasant person to talk to. My wife and I called him several times during our home-buying journey (Greg -- if you are reading this -- we’re sorry for the constant calls), and he always took time to explain any questions we could think of. We could tell he genuinely cared about helping us find a safe home. Needless to say, my wife and I highly recommend using Greg."

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Asheville, NC

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The gas seeps through cracks in foundations and collects in basements and other low areas. Once you breathe it in, radioactive particles lodge in lung tissue and do long-term damage. Because you can’t see or smell radon, the EPA recommends testing your home every two years—and after major renovations—to keep your family safe.

Yes—every home should be tested. The EPA advises doing it at least every two years and any time you remodel, buy, or sell. On average, one in 15 houses nationwide sits above the recommended limit, and the only way to know where yours stands is a formal test. The equipment simply measures gas levels and won’t change your indoor environment, so the process is completely harmless.

Certified radon professionals—often home inspectors or dedicated radon mitigation contractors—handle testing. These radon testing professionals follow EPA protocols and use calibrated instruments to check levels throughout your house. Hiring a certified radon specialist means results you can trust for real estate deals, insurance requirements, and, most importantly, your family’s health.

Inspectors specialize in measuring radon gas levels, while licensed mitigation contractors design and install the systems that remove it. If your test comes back high, your inspector can point you to a qualified mitigation pro who will size and install the right fan, piping, or other equipment to bring levels down.

No—standard home air purifiers don’t touch radon. They’re built to trap dust and pollen, not radioactive gas. If testing shows high levels, you’ll need a dedicated mitigation system that vents the gas from beneath your home to the outdoors. Relying on a room purifier alone won’t keep your indoor air safe.

Opening a few windows in your home might dilute radon for a short time, but the gas seeps back in as soon as they’re closed. For a lasting fix, you’ll need a professional mitigation system—often a sub-slab depressurization fan—that pulls radon from beneath the foundation and safely vents it outside.
