Radon Testing

icons-radon-lgWhat is Radon?

Radon is a natural radioactive element, noble gas, and its periodical chart symbol is Rn. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be an undetected problem in your home and exists in every home. When you breathe air containing radon, you increase your risk of getting lung cancer. Radon is a carcinogenic gas that is hazardous to inhale and to your health.  Radon is estimated to cause many thousands of deaths each year. That’s because when you breathe air containing radon, it can cause lung cancer.

The number one cause of lung cancer in non -smokers is Radon!

Why test for Radon?

Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk from Radon gas. The EPA and Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for Radon. The Surgeon General of the United States has issued a Health Advisory warning Americans about the health risk from exposure to radon in indoor air.  The Surgeon General urged Americans to test their homes to find out how much radon they might be exposed to and breathing.

Testimonials

Granite inspection group provided a fair, detailed, highly actionable report of findings, and risk areas. I highly recommend their team, easy to work with and communication was great.

Paula Blomquist   

Granite Inspection really came through for us! Due to some careless things our builder did, there were several obstacles and challenges to installing a radon mitigation system in our home. After two others had shown up and failed to help us, I was losing hope. Then I called Granite Inspection, and I wish I had called them first! Michael is knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He got the job done, no problem. I highly recommend Granite Inspection.

Julie Gonzalez   

This company is awesome. Very Very professional. Totally happy with their performance. I will definitely use them again in the future if the need arises.

David McPartland   

I have been through several home inspections for prior purchases and after each I found out a lot of details were missed. Fast forward to my latest experience with Michael @ Granite Inspection. All I can say is WOW, never have I had a such a thorough, well informed, detailed inspection. Michael spoke and explained to me as someone who genuinely cared and literally gave me a brain dump in person and in his report about the house, all the good, bad and ugly, he held nothing back. He really wanted to ensure that I was in a position to make a well-informed decision. I don't usually write lengthy reviews, but Michael has saved me from a very costly mistake. Truly appreciated his objectivity and professionalism.

Marlyne Bennett   

Granite inspection was wonderful to work with. Michael installed a radon mitigation system in our 150 old house and he did a wonderful job. He was always clear, concise, and friendly. Would highly, highly recommend. Thank you so much!!

Kristin Luks   

Micheal was amazing and very informative! I appreciate his hard work especially by himself. Lisa was very helpful and so polite over the phone. Would definitely recommend for services.

Ashley F   

We had to have a Radon Mitigation system installed in our house. Started by looking at the NY State's website for Certified Radon Mitigation Contractors. Narrowed the search down to those who are Certified Radon Testers at Dutchess County (currently there are 4). We chose the Granite Inspection Group because of their qualifications listed on their business website.
Contacting them and scheduling for a Radon test was very easy.
Michael and his wife Lisa are very friendly, pleasant, and more importantly very responsive and professional. After the test and the evaluation, we received a written estimate regarding the cost of the installation of the Radon Mitigation system.
The installation and subsequent evaluation (re-testing) of the Radon Mitigation system was flawless. Granite Inspection Group did an excellent job. As a retired engineer I appreciate their professionalism.

GTM   

With basement radon levels between 19 and 21, I contacted Michael. He installed the radon mitigation system in one day. The result is astonishingly successful: the average is now around 0.35, well below 1, and our house is now virtually free of this carcinogenic gas. Michael is thoroughly professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. The results speak volumes.

Garry Hagberg   

I used granite inspection for my home inspection and the gentleman that was there doing the inspection was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Gave a full break down of what was needed and what needed to be done. Very professional service from beginning to end .Will highly recommend to anyone

Michael Roman   

We used Granite Inspection when we purchased our current house and had them carry out an inspection for a property we recently had an offer accepted on. Michael provided a 108 page report. Thorough, professional and invaluable. Simply put, we would not have anyone else inspect a property.
