Radon is a leading cause of lung cancer, second only to smoking. The radioactive gas emitted from the soil is so dangerous that the Kansas Department of Health & Environment (KDHE) recommends that all Kansas citizens test their homes for radon and take the appropriate actions if levels are unsafe. The Kansas Radon Program and KDHE published a report recently that shows 41% of Kansas homes tested have radon.
Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer for NON-SMOKERS. Consider your health and safety; have your home checked for radon. It's well worth the cost for the peace of mind knowing your family is safe! For this reason, Insight Inspections, LLC, uses a top of the line Continuous Radon Monitor, Model 1028 from SunRadon Corporation. We don't use the basic charcoal kits that can be tampered with and results can be skewed. We offer radon tests either as an addition to a home inspection or as a standalone service.

Radon Q&A
(Information from the Kansas Department of Health & Environment)
Q. What is radon?
A. Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, colorless, invisible radioactive gas that can emanate from soil and become a health hazard when it builds up to higher concentrations in homes, schools, and offices.
Q. How prevalent is radon in Kansas?
A. The action level for radon has been set by the U.S. Environmental Protection agency at 4.0 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L). About one out of every three radon measurements performed in Kansas are above the action level. Elevated levels of radon have been detected in every county in the state.
Q. Why is radon dangerous?
A. More than 200 lung cancer deaths per year in Kansas may be linked to indoor radon. The EPA estimates that indoor radon contributes to 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year.
Q. What are the symptoms?
A. Exposure to radon causes no immediate symptom, and often goes unrecognized until serious health complications arise.
Q. What are your qualifications to check my home for radon?
A. During the 2010 legislative session, the Kansas Radon Certification Law was passed. This law took effect on July 1, 2011, and requires that all persons performing radon testing or mitigation in the state be certified by the Kansas Department of Health & Environment.
