"Radon is a colorless, odorless gas and a leading cause of lung cancer. The only way to know a home's level is to test — Tom makes it simple."
Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless and odorless radioactive gas that seeps up from the soil into homes — and it's the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. The only way to know a home's radon level is to measure it. Tom Cely provides radon testing across the CSRA so buyers and homeowners can know their level and act if it's elevated. (Certification/license number to be added.)
Tom places a radon measurement device in the lowest livable level of the home under proper closed-house conditions, following the recommended testing protocol for accurate, reliable results.
After the measurement period, the results are analyzed and you receive a clear report of the home's radon level in picocuries per liter (pCi/L), with an explanation of what it means relative to the EPA action level.
If the level is elevated, Tom explains the next steps — radon mitigation systems are effective and often straightforward — so you can make an informed decision.
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, behind only smoking — and because it's invisible and odorless, a home can have a dangerous level with zero warning signs.
Levels vary house to house, even between neighbors, based on soil and construction. That's why you can't assume — you have to measure the specific home you're buying or living in.
The good news: elevated radon is very fixable. A mitigation system reliably reduces levels, so testing turns an invisible risk into a solvable, known quantity.
During a home purchase is the ideal time — you can test as part of your inspection period and factor the results into your decision or negotiation.
Homeowners who have never tested, especially in homes with basements or crawlspaces, should test for their family's safety. It's also recommended to re-test after a mitigation system is installed to confirm it's working.
The EPA recommends every home be tested — it's a simple, one-time step that answers a question you otherwise can't.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps from soil into homes. It's colorless and odorless and is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, so testing is the only way to know a home's level.
A standard measurement runs over a set period under closed-house conditions to ensure accuracy. Tom follows the recommended protocol and explains the timeline when you schedule.
Elevated radon is very fixable. A mitigation system reliably lowers levels, and re-testing afterward confirms it worked. Tom explains your options if the result comes back above the EPA action level.
Yes — radon testing pairs naturally with a purchase inspection during your due-diligence period, so you get the result in time to act on it. (Certification/license number to be added.)
You're welcome to be. Afterward, Tom provides an informative field summary of the major points and answers any questions or concerns you have, so you understand the findings clearly.
