"Erik's performed pre-drywall and final inspections for our home as it was being built. He quickly responded after his inspections with reports, including pictures detailing any identified problems. These reports were shared with the developer, allowing for quick resolutions of problems. Erik was pleasant to work with and I have no hesitation to recommend him for anyone in the NC triangle area."

"<p>With our 12 month new home warranty soon to expire, I reached out to several home inspectors that rated well on Angie's List. Due to a short turn-around time requested and it being the week of Memorial Day, several inspectors weren't available, or their costs were astronomically high (nearly double of what Greg charged).  </p> <p>From start to finish, Greg was both professional and personable. He is very knowledgeable and made suggestions to better maintain the house.  He was extremely thorough and meticulous, spending 5 hours on his initial visit (all the while apologizing for taking so long, but I reassured him I was very appreciative of his level of detail and insights, and indulging in conversation).</p> <p>Coincidentally, the same day of the inspection our A/C stopped working on the first floor of our house. Greg was genuinely concerned for our welfare (given the heat in NC), that he offered to and followed-up to return later that afternoon to try and diagnose the issue, even though that was out of scope for his inspection.  </p> <p>In terms of the report, it was provided later that evening, as promised. It was straight-forward to read, succinctly written, and included photos of the problem areas.</p> <p>I would highly recommend Greg and consider his services top notch.</p> <br />"

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Cary, 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.
