Eradicating Radon in Commercial Buildings

In Utah the levels of radon are higher than average1 (1 out of 3 homes tested with higher than recommended levels compared to the 1 out of 15 United States average).2 We know the dangerous consequences of radon gas and its effects on developing lung cancer,3 so we take radon testing very seriously. It’s important to know that while there are many resources for DIY test kits, there is a likely possibility between inaccurate testing results and poor testing practices. Radon is an elusive gas because levels can be impacted by the fluctuation of air flow. Due to the serious nature of elevated radon levels and the testing variabilities, there are two agencies, NNRP4 and NRSB5 that license and certify radon specialists. At Utah Radon Defense, a Certified Radon Inspection Specialist, would be conducting a radon test in your home or office.

As a business owner or property manager, we understand your responsibility to keep residents, and employees safe. The Utah Health and Safety Department1 and EPA recommend testing structures where long periods of time are spent indoors.2 If a mitigation system has been installed the recommended frequency of testing is every two years. Schools and daycares are especially important to defend against the harmful effects of radon because studies have shown that children are two times more likely to develop lung cancer when exposed to the same level of radon as adults.6

Let us help defend you against radon in commercial buildings by hiring our certified, skilled technicians to conduct commercial radon testing. At Utah Radon Defense, we make the process of commercial radon testing simple and fast to put your mind at ease.
