Buying a new home is the biggest investment most people will ever make. It's a decision that will affect you for many years. The process can be very stressful and confusing, and a lot of risk is involved when making such a big decision. A professional inspection will greatly reduce your risk and help make the entire home buying process easier and less stressful.\n\nYou should choose your house inspector very carefully and make sure that he or she is a "good fit" for you. Nobody has any extra money to spend these days, but the amount of the inspection fee should be the least important of your considerations when choosing an inspector. If you want an inspector who will take his time going carefully through the house observing and evaluating its many details and systems, who will answer all of your questions, and who will then spend several hours producing a custom-written and detailed report that fully explains what is found during the inspection, then please give us a call.\n\nWe encourage all of our clients to accompany us during the inspection. You should ask the inspector any questions you may have during the inspection process. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask. The inspector will point out problems and explain them to you. He will also show you the good points of the house, and explain how the systems work. Plus, he will explain what routine maintenance is needed to keep the house in top condition. You will find that attending the inspection to be time very well spent.\n\nWe cannot promise to find everything that is wrong with a house or everything that might cause you problems while you live there. Nobody can promise that, certainly not in the amount of time that is available for an inspection. Our main purpose is to help you to understand what you are getting yourselves into if you purchase the property. We have been doing that successfully since 1985. During the inspection, we expect to find any major problems that might exist at the time of the inspection and we are usually successful at that as well.

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Durham, ME

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.
