How does Honest Home Inspections test for Radon in my home?
Honest Home Inspections is pleased to announce that we use Sun Nuclear digital radon testing machines to test for Radon. The NEW model 1028 continuous radon monitor is a patented electronic detection device used for the measurement of radon gas. The new model 1028 is intelligently designed to be fully programmable by the inspector. For accurate radon test readings, it is necessary that the house be closed up (windows and doors) for 12 hours before the inspection and 48 hours during the inspection. These conditions are as follows: • Keep windows closed. • Doors should not be opened except for normal entrance and exit. • Any system which would bring outside air into the house should not be operated • Large volume air exhaust systems should not be operated. Heating and air conditioning may be operated normally. And, it is acceptable practice to operate the clothes dryer, range hood, and bathroom fan during the period of testing. The testing device is programmed to shut down after 48 hours
