Customers say: Quick response

"Mark is very thorough and explains findings well. Took his time and when he picked up the radon tests a few days later, he took another look at the exterior as it was raining the day of the inspection. Great customer service."

"John was prompt and polite. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions as he went through the inspection and even gave us tips and hints on how to repair or improve certain items (example: he recommended adding gravel around an outdoor shed to help water drain away from the base of the shed..). The inspection lasted about 5 hours on a 2100 square foot home! John was VERY thorough- just like the other reviewers said he would be. He opened every door, every drawer and every cabinet. He examined every wall, door frame, door, etc. He ran the water in all the faucets, checked every step and every banister. He took very thorough notes, and we received a summary of the inspection within 48 hours via email. We then received the full report, along with pictures and additional "homecare" information via mail within the week. The only thing I want to note is that John measured high CO2 levels in 2 places. However, when the home owners had the fire department and a second inspector check the levels, they found that they were below normal. I'm not sure why that was. We still plan on installing CO2 detectors."

"<p>it was superb! they easiest, hassle free Radon test in town, with extremely proficient people -- very knowledgeable and very people-friendly! they took their time to explain things on the phone to me before I committed. the test came back within 10 days or so -- via email. which is very convenient. it was very clear as it is, but I like talking through it and get advice. they were instantly available to discuss. they gave me future tips to keep on top of all things Radon related. </p> <p>I have to say that all this comes to be after 3 months of many back and forths with 3 other companies -- none of the other companies could be bothered to schedule a time, and those who did, never showed up.. many times over. I don't know why I was so patient with them and I wish had discovered Environmental Testing & Research Laboratories much sooner.</p> <p>Really highly recommend them!</p> <br />"

"Lee was recommended by my agent and I could not be more grateful for it. He was extremely thorough, professional, and patient in answering all our questions. Due to a short deadline, I needed a favor from Lee and asked that he stop by a few days before the actual inspection to get a sample for the bacterial water test (from the well) and put the radon test kit out. I’m so appreciative of him not only doing so but also being very understanding of my situation. Buying a house is a huge investment and finding a reliable home inspector is a crucial first step. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and also to you to complete your home inspection."

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Elkin, 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.
