"Inspection was very professional, Jonathan is a great person, ready to answer any of your questions and give you a pro advice what and when you should expect with the property you're buying. I was really happy that he agreed to perform inspection on Saturday, so i didn't lose any of my working hours at my job. And pricing..it's more than reasonable for the service quality we received. 100% recommended. Thank you, Jonathan!"

"He was great to work with. After the home inspection he did a walk through explaining what he found. Very professional, prompt and I had the final report within 72 hours. I had a short time window for the inspection and they accommodated my timing both for the inspection and report delivery without compromising the inspection - it was very thorough."

"I had a great experience with this home inspection service. They arrived right on time and conducted a very thorough inspection of the entire house. The inspectors were professional, respectful, and clearly knowledgeable. After the inspection, I received a detailed report with clear explanations and helpful recommendations, which made everything easy to understand. They were also very clean and careful while working in the home, which I really appreciated. Overall, the team was friendly, professional, and efficient. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable home inspection."

"We hired Randy for our home inspection and contracted a termite inspection through him as well. We informed Randy of our short deadline to get the inspection completed in order to keep our closing date. He was able to make it out the next day and had the report completed and to me the same day. We really appreciated his quick response and would recommend him."

"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."

"Great people, honest and fair. I have confidence that the system they installed is the best. Radon NC used top quality materials and their guarantee is comprehensive. I almost went with a "national" company but I compared their estimate to Radon NC and there's no comparison. Affordable Environmental Services guarantee their work and use the best materials, not the cheapest. I recommend this company!"

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Hickory, 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.
