Radon and Water Quality Testing in Florida

 

Radon Air Test
We recommend that you consider testing your property for the presence of radon. Studies have shown that is present in virtually all areas of the United States, and in particular, areas where high concentrations of granite are everywhere in Florida. Homes that have installed granite and marble countertops, backsplash and floor tiles are particularly susceptible to radon gas. Although results vary greatly from property to property it is wise to have our experts perform a localized test on your property. The effects of radon have been proven to be harmful to your health if not detected and/or mitigated. A simple short-term test will determine whether or not the gas is present, and allow you to make the decision of how to handle as part of your real estate negotiations. Our cost is very reasonable and provides peace of mind in knowing that the property is safe for your family.

Radon Water Test
Radon in well water is a common occurrence. It becomes airborne at the point of entry into the home (i.e. faucets) and has the same effect as radon in the air. Although the presence (or non-presence) of radon in the air does not always indicate whether or not radon is present in the water supply, we recommend having them tested simultaneously. The test is very simple and can be performed in conjunction with the general water quality examination.

Water Quality Testing
We offer a wide variety of water quality sampling that can be done at the time of home inspection. We can perform single item testing such as for the presence of bacteria or e-coli or chloroform, or wider range of analytes from minerals to contaminants. We also offer specific testing required by certain loan programs such as FHA/VA. All of our testing is done through Florida based labs, that provides comprehensive service, quick turn-around, and detailed information for any remediation that may need to occur as a result of the findings.
