Radon Inspections

Classic City Home Inspection offers professional radon inspections for homes and properties in Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, GA, and surrounding areas. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can accumulate inside homes, particularly in basements and crawlspaces. It’s colorless, odorless, and tasteless—making it impossible to detect without proper testing. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, according to the EPA.

David, a licensed home inspector with years of field experience, provides accurate and reliable radon testing to help homeowners, buyers, and sellers understand the safety of their indoor air.

What Is Radon and Why Should You Test for It?

Radon gas forms when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It rises through the ground and can enter your home through foundation cracks, gaps in floors, plumbing entry points, or even sump pump openings. Once inside, radon can accumulate to unsafe levels—especially in tightly sealed or energy-efficient homes.

Testing is the only way to know whether your home has elevated radon levels. Radon levels can vary greatly from one home to the next—even in the same neighborhood. That’s why testing is recommended for:

  • Homebuyers – Test during the inspection period before closing
  • Homeowners – Especially if your home has never been tested
  • Sellers – Offer peace of mind to buyers by showing low radon levels
  • Property managers and landlords – Ensure tenant health and regulatory compliance

Our Radon Testing Process

At Classic City Home Inspection, we use modern, calibrated radon detection devices to measure radon levels over a designated period—typically 48 hours. The testing unit is placed in the lowest livable area of the home, such as a basement or crawlspace, and remains undisturbed during the testing window.

Once the test is complete, David retrieves the device and generates a detailed report showing the average radon concentration (measured in picocuries per liter, or pCi/L). The EPA recommends action if levels are at or above 4.0 pCi/L, although even lower levels can pose a risk over time.

What Happens If Radon Levels Are High?

If your inspection reveals elevated radon levels, it doesn’t mean the home is unsafe to live in—but it does mean action should be taken. Radon mitigation systems can be installed to significantly reduce indoor radon levels, usually through sub-slab depressurization or other ventilation techniques.

David will walk you through your results, explain the findings in plain language, and recommend next steps if mitigation is needed. While Classic City Home Inspection does not install radon systems, our goal is to give you accurate information so you can make safe, informed decisions.
