Should I be There?
We
strongly urge the prospective buyer to be present for the walk-through
at the end of the inspection. By being present, you will have a
far greater understanding of your new home and the report.

system available. The Inspectvue Computerized Report is a highly
detailed narrative style report that is typically between 20 and
25 pages in length & includes digital photographs of anything
that is of concern or particular interest. This very comprehensive
report covers Structural, Exterior, Roof/Attic, Plumbing, Electrical,
Heating & Air Conditioning, Chimney, Living Areas, Bedrooms,
Bathrooms, Common Areas & Garage.
You will also
get a summary report that just details items needing attention &
also includes the digital photographs.
When
Do I Receive My Report?
The report is available the same day either
e-mailed to you or you can access the reports via the internet with
a web address and password given to you at the time of the inspection.
What
is Radon?
Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over
the U.S. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil,
rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically
moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home
through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home can
trap Radon inside.
Any home can
have a Radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed
and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements. In fact,
you and your family are most likely to get your greatest radiation
exposure at home. That is where you spend most of your time.
Nearly 1 out
of every 15 homes in the U.S. is estimated to have elevated Radon
levels. Elevated levels of Radon gas have been found in homes in
Georgia.
Why Should I Test my Home for Radon?
Everyone should test their homes for one of the leading causes of
lung cancer in the country: indoor Radon gas. In some areas of the
country, as many as one out of two homes has high levels of Radon.
Radon levels can soar during the colder months when residents keep
windows and doors closed and spend more time indoors.
"Twenty-two
thousand people die from lung cancer each year in the United States
from exposure to indoor Radon". "Yet Americans could help
prevent these deaths and protect their families by testing their
homes for Radon as soon as possible." Christine Todd Whitman,
Former EPA Administrator.
Which type of Radon test do we perform?
We
perform a Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM) test which takes readings
every hour over a 48 hour period. Averages are taken from these
readings (using EPA test protocols) to determine the level of Radon
concentration in the home.
Based on a national
residential Radon survey completed in 1991, the average indoor Radon
level is 1.3 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) in the United States.
The average outdoor level is about 0.4 pCi/L.
Levels higher
than 2.0pCi/L are considered a potential health hazard, and a level
of 4.0pCi/L or more should be mitigated.

Comments
from Satisfied Clients...
"Thank
you, thank you for the very thorough job you did inspecting our
home. By finding the moldy spot under the dining room floor and
noticing that the dining room wall seemed damp, you have saved us
many thousands of dollars in repair work. It turns out, the entire
wall was rotted away inside from water damage. Our daughter has
asthma, and the mold situation would have been very bad for her
health. We are very thankful to have found this out, so that it
can be fixed before we close on the house. Your services were definitely
worth every penny!" Shane & Amy Bussler
"I have

a credit to his profession and I would highly recommend him to anyone

the following day at no extra charge to explain a concern I had,
