Radon Gas Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas released from rocks, soil, and groundwater. When it seeps into a home and builds up over time, it can pose serious health risks. According to the CDC, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, making testing a critical step in protecting your family’s health.
Here in New Mexico, our mountain ranges and unique geology make radon exposure a common concern. That’s why at Black Mesa Property Inspections, we recommend radon testing for every residential home as well as commercial properties. Using professional-grade monitors, our certified inspectors track radon levels to give you accurate, science-based results you can trust. Whether you’re buying a property or simply want peace of mind in your current residence, radon testing is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home’s safety.
What’s Included in A Radon Gas Testing?
Certified Testing Process – Our NRPP-certified inspectors place a calibrated monitor in the lowest livable area of your home (basement or ground level).
Continuous Monitoring – The device records hourly radon levels for a minimum of 48 hours, following EPA and New Mexico guidelines.
Accurate Conditions – We ensure proper placement and controlled conditions (closed windows, limited airflow) for the most reliable results.
Clear, Detailed Reporting – Results are provided in an easy-to-read report showing hourly and average levels. If the average exceeds the EPA’s action threshold of 4.0 pCi/L, radon mitigation is strongly recommended.
It’s important to know that radon levels can vary dramatically from house to house, even in the same neighborhood. That’s why testing your specific property is essential—your neighbor’s results don’t guarantee your home’s safety.
Our client care team will help you decide what makes sense for your home and budget. We’ll explain the risks, testing requirements, and which services are recommended based on your specific needs. With Black Mesa Property Inspections, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your home and your health.
