Radon Testing in Houston, TX

Residential • Commercial • Industrial

Radon is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It is responsible for an estimated 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year, including 2,900 among non-smokers.

Because radon cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, testing is the only way to know if your property is at risk. Whether you own a home, office building, or industrial facility in Houston, professional radon testing helps protect occupants and reduce liability.

Why Radon Testing Is Critical

Radon forms naturally when uranium in soil, rock, and groundwater breaks down. It can enter buildings through:

  • Cracks in floors, foundations, or walls

  • Construction joints and service pipe gaps

  • Sump pumps, crawl spaces, or basement floors

  • Private well water in some cases

Because radon is heavier than air, it accumulates in basements and lower levels. Long-term exposure increases the risk of lung cancer, especially for smokers or those with existing respiratory conditions.
