Radon Testing Services in Metro Atlanta

Protect Your Home & Family With Professional Radon Testing

Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that can enter homes through foundations, crawlspaces, slab cracks, and other openings in the structure. Because radon cannot be seen or smelled, professional testing is the only way to determine if elevated levels are present inside a home.

At Thompson Home Inspections, LLC, we provide professional radon testing services for home buyers, homeowners, sellers, and real estate agents throughout Metro Atlanta and surrounding Georgia communities.

Whether you are purchasing a home, preparing to sell, or simply want peace of mind, radon testing is an important part of understanding your indoor air quality.


What Is Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock beneath homes and buildings. It can enter a home through:

- Foundation cracks
- Crawlspaces
- Basement floors and walls
- Utility penetrations
- Expansion joints
- Sump pump openings

Once trapped inside, radon can accumulate to elevated levels over time.

According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the leading cause among non-smokers.


Why Radon Testing Is Important in Georgia

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that elevated radon levels can occur in both older and newly built homes throughout Georgia, including Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.

Because radon levels can vary from one property to another—even between neighboring homes—testing is the only reliable way to determine if a home has elevated radon concentrations.

Radon testing is especially recommended during:

- Real estate transactions
- New construction purchases
- Annual home health evaluations
- Basement finishing projects
- After major renovations or foundation work


Our Radon Testing Process

At Thompson Home Inspections, LLC, we use professional electronic radon monitoring equipment designed to provide accurate and reliable measurements.

During the testing process:

- A certified radon monitor is placed in the home
- The device continuously measures radon levels over the testing period
- Results are compiled into a detailed digital report
- Reports are typically delivered promptly after testing is complete (48 hrs)

We also provide guidance on understanding your results and recommended next steps if elevated levels are detected.


Understanding Radon Levels

The EPA recommends considering mitigation when radon levels reach or exceed: 4.0

Even homes with lower levels may benefit from improved ventilation or further evaluation depending on the situation.

If elevated levels are identified, we may recommend consultation with a licensed radon mitigation specialist.
