"<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 />"

"Jeff Aiken inspected a home we had under contract (and which has subsequently become our home) in early July 2011. I chose Ace Home Inspections instead because Jeff is an independent inspector who was accredited with the BBB. I knew little else about him and am happy to say it worked out excellently.   <br /> <br /> Jeff spent at least six hours at the house inspecting it and the report he produced is comprehensive, coming in at 109 pages. It lists problems, often provides background information and suggests solutions where appropriate. It includes a large number of pictures that help identify what he?s discussing. He often notes the good as well as the bad. Jeff told me on the phone that he would be happy to answer questions about it, but that no one ever asks any because the report is so self explanatory. I didn't believe him, but it's true. I haven't called him since because the report has been completely self explanatory. I haven?t seen many inspection reports, but everyone who has seen it has commented that it?s extremely thorough, and some have said it?s the longest they?ve ever seen.   <br /> <br /> The report has been useful in lots of ways. Obviously we used it to become familiar with the property and in negotiations over the sale price. However I realized quickly that it was a great to-do list. I put it into excel and grouped items by subject (plumbing, electrical, etc.) and importance. It helped decide what needed to be done when we moved in and what could wait. When I called an electrician I emailed the report to them and I?ll have it on hand when I talk to the plumbers.   <br /> <br /> Based on my discussions with other people, Jeff took longer from start to finish than other inspectors. This might be a bit unfair to him since our time period included the 4th of July, but it deserves noting. Closing schedules can be tight, so work with him to make sure schedules are met. Also, his rate appeared slightly more expensive than some other inspectors I priced. These are pretty minor issues. If you aren?t willing to throw in a few extra bucks to have a quality inspector go over the house you?re about to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for, you need to do something else with your money. Like get your head checked.   <br /> <br /> My experience with Jeff can be summed up as follows: If I had to buy another house tomorrow and he told me his rate had gone up 25%, I?d be writing the check before he finished the sentence. You couldn?t pay me to choose someone else."

FAQs for radon gas testing projects in Kennedy, AL

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.
