http://www.dhfs.state.wi.us/dph_beh/RadonProt/index.htm Elevated radon levels are very common in the Wisconsin counties I serve. Radon is a know carcinogen and linked to lung cancer. I provide radon sampling using a electronic continuous radon monitor-Sun Nuclear Model 1027. This device is placed in the home for a minimum of 48 hours and gathers hourly readings of the radon levels in the air. I schedule a return visit to retrieve the monitor and will be able to download the data giving instant results. Quick results are crucial to the real-estate transaction so you have time to mitigate the radon or negotiate for repair costs. The cost, with a home inspection, starts at $125. Testing without an inspection is subject to additional travel charges. Radon sampling should be specified in the offer to purchase contract. Permission must be obtained from the seller due to disclosure laws. If the testing was not written into the offer to purchase contract the buyer would not be able to use the results for negotiations or void the contract. On occasion sellers permit testing because it is a noninvasive test. If you were unable to allow for testing I can perform this test at a later date but there are lower cost methods of testing available through your county extension office or self-administered test canisters available at most large hardware stores. These usually cost $20-$30 and take up to 2 weeks for testing and results after mailing. The cost of mitigating the radon in most modern homes is $1000-$2000. The cost can vary greatly depending on the construction methods of the home and radon levels. The most complete and up to date information on radon in Wisconsin should be obtained by the links below. Follow the links to find average radon levels in your zip code. Remember radon levels depend on many factors such as geology, construction of the home, and weather conditions. Homes within the same subdivision can great differences in levels…without testing you may be at risk. http://www.dhfs.state.wi.us/dph_beh/RadonProt/index.htm http://www.epa.gov/radon/ |
