"George and his entire company were amazing! George sat down with us and explained every detail of the work, and left us with material that gave us an education on Radon itself. This was very helpful for many reasons.. The work itself was conducted in an effective, clean, respectful and thoughtful way by his crew., and he came by to ensure completion and satisfaction. The crew even helped us with something adjacent to their job for no extra charge. I cannot recommend this company enough!"

"After Healthy Homes did such a great job on my rental apartment, decided to see if they could help me with the cigarette smell in my car. Was sold a small handheld fog machine and some Un-Odor product. Fogged the entire interior of my vehicle, sprayed the product on all surfaces. After washing the windows with Windex and wiping everything down with a dry towel, the car was free from odor and looked and smelled clean and fresh! Fantastic Products!!!"

"Steve with Basements and Above Home Inspections was great. He took his time thoroughly inspecting our potential new home and at the end reviewed his findings and even showed the ones that were accessible to us and explained the issue and possible solutions. He even took the time to answer all of our questions and not once did we ever feel rushed or like we were a nuisance. As first time homebuyers we had a lot of questions, we are glad that we did our own research when deciding which home inspector to hire and would highly recommend to anyone needing inspection or testing services."

Please consider me for your home inspection needs. I serve Onondaga, Cayuga, Oswego, Cortland, Madison, and Saratoga counties. Many have found comfort in knowing that their home is being inspected by a mechanical engineer with a dozen years of engineering experience. Others have found comfort in knowing that I have several investment properties in the area and that I do all my own work. I use a continuous radon monitor so I can have lab-analyzed radon results to you in 2 days, as opposed to 7-14 days with charcoal filters. I have eKey access so I don’t need a realtor to let me in/out of the home. I do home inspections, radon inspections, well flow testing, septic dye testing, and water quality testing. My goal is to point out all safety issues and to find costly defects that you can use as leverage to lower the price of your purchase.

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Cortland, NY

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.
