Radon
Testing
Radon is an odorless, colorless gas — and 1 in 3 Utah homes tested comes back above federal guidelines. Our 48-hour continuous test tells you whether your family's air is safe, included free with every standard InspectUP home inspection.
exceed EPA limits
You can't see it, smell it, or taste it.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the soil and collects inside homes. You can't detect it with your senses — the only way to know your level is to measure it. It's the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, and the risk is highest for children.
In Utah the problem is common: about one in three homes tested comes back above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. At InspectUP, a continuous radon monitor is included with every standard home inspection at no extra charge, so you'll know your number before you close.

Radon, measured properly.
Radon testing done right is more than a canister on a shelf. Select any area to see how InspectUP measures, reports, and acts on your home's levels.
The Radon Test
Your radon test,
step by step.
A continuous monitor does the work — here's how your 48-hour radon test unfolds, start to finish.
Monitor Placed
We set a calibrated continuous radon monitor on the lowest livable level, under closed-house conditions.
48-Hour Measurement
The monitor logs radon hour by hour for a minimum of 48 hours, capturing the real fluctuations a canister misses.
Data & Report
Readings are downloaded into a clear report showing your average and peak levels against the EPA action level.
Results & Next Steps
We explain what your number means and, if it's high, how mitigation can bring it safely back down.

The same certified eyes on every home.
When you book InspectUP, you get an InterNACHI®-certified, IAC2 radon-certified inspector who treats your future home like it's their own family moving in — not a rushed checklist. Every report is completed personally and in-house, so nothing gets lost along the way.
Radon is invisible. The risk isn't.
Protect your family's lungs
Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. A simple test tells you whether the air your family breathes every night is safe.
Know your real number
You can't sense radon — you can only measure it. A 48-hour continuous test gives you an accurate reading, not a guess or a one-off snapshot.
Negotiate or mitigate
If levels come back high, a documented report lets you request mitigation or build the fix into your offer before you close.
The #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers.
After smoking, radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States — and the leading cause among people who have never smoked. The EPA estimates it contributes to roughly 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year.
Because radon is invisible and has no smell, a family can breathe elevated levels for years without any warning. The risk is highest for children, whose lungs are still developing. A simple 48-hour test is the only way to know your home's level — and to protect the people sleeping under its roof.
They found moisture behind a wall that looked perfectly fine — that one catch saved us thousands before we even made an offer.
