Reliable Radon Testing in Cleveland & Cuyahoga County
Protect your family’s health with professional radon testing services from HIC Home Inspection Cleveland. Our certified inspectors ensure accurate detection of this invisible, cancer-causing gas.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes and buildings from the surrounding soil and rocks. Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. The radioactive particles from radon decay can get trapped in your lungs when you breathe radon in, leading to potential health risks. At HIC Home Inspection Cleveland, we understand the importance of identifying and mitigating radon in your home, whether it’s in Fairview Park, Lakewood, Parma, Garfield Heights, or the wider Cuyahoga County region, including Westlake, Avon, Akron, and areas west of Route 77. That’s why we offer professional radon testing services to homeowners and prospective buyers across these communities.

Our Radon Testing Process
Our radon testing process involves placing approved and calibrated radon detection devices in your home for a period of 2-7 days. These devices capture and measure the concentration of radon gas, providing accurate readings. We follow industry-standard protocols to ensure reliable results.
Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking corrective action if levels are 4 pCi/L or higher.
When Should You Test for Radon?
Radon testing is recommended for all homes, regardless of age or construction type. It’s particularly important to test for radon during real estate transactions, such as buying or selling a home. Additionally, testing should be considered after renovations or changes that could potentially affect radon levels in your living space.
What to Do If High Radon Levels Are Detected
If our testing reveals radon levels above the EPA’s recommended action level of 4 pCi/L, there are several steps you can take to reduce the concentration of radon in your home. These may include sealing cracks and openings, increasing ventilation, or installing a radon mitigation system.
Our inspectors will provide you with guidance and recommendations tailored to your specific situation, ensuring that you have the information you need to take appropriate action.
