Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that naturally occurs in the earth. It's also a leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for thousands of deaths each year in the United States alone. To ensure the safety of your home and loved ones, it's crucial to have your property tested for radon levels. At Peterson Home Inspections, we specialize in expert HUD radon testing services that provide you with peace of mind and protect your family's health.

The Dangers of Radon

Radon is a radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks and openings in the foundation. It occurs naturally as uranium in soil and rocks breaks down over time. Radon gas can accumulate in enclosed spaces like homes, and when inhaled, it can damage lung tissue and increase the risk of lung cancer. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies radon as a Class A carcinogen, meaning it is known to cause cancer in humans.

Why HUD Radon Testing Matters

HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) radon testing is especially important for homes in areas with a known radon risk. HUD has set specific guidelines and requirements for radon testing in homes funded or insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). This testing ensures that homes are safe for occupancy and helps identify if radon mitigation measures are necessary.
