Radon Testing
Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, floors, and walls. It’s colorless, odorless, and tasteless — making it impossible to detect without proper testing. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, which is why professional radon testing is essential for every Connecticut homeowner. Testing helps determine if radon levels in your home exceed EPA safety standards, giving you the information you need to take corrective action.
At Modern Home Inspections, we provide accurate and reliable radon testing services across Connecticut using advanced detection equipment and certified testing methods. Our process is simple, non-invasive, and designed to give you clear, documented results. If elevated radon levels are found, we guide you through the next steps for mitigation and long-term protection. With our help, you can breathe easy knowing your home’s air is safe and your family’s health is protected.

Health Risks of Radon
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the soil and rock beneath the foundation. Because it can’t be seen or smelled, many homeowners don’t realize it’s there until testing reveals elevated levels. Over time, exposure to radon can have serious health effects — making regular testing essential for every Connecticut home.
Why it matters:
● Leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers
● Common in Connecticut due to natural soil composition
● Invisible and undetectable without testing
● Can enter through cracks, sump pumps, and utility penetrations
Regular radon testing helps ensure your home’s air remains safe and healthy. At Modern Home Inspections, we use advanced, certified testing equipment to accurately measure radon levels and identify potential entry points. If elevated levels are found, we provide clear guidance on mitigation options to help you reduce exposure and maintain proper air quality. Protecting your family starts with knowing what’s in your air — and professional radon testing gives you the peace of mind you deserve.

Test for Radon, Breathe Safer
Ensure Cleaner, Healthier Air for Your Family with Professional Radon Testing
Radon is a naturally occurring gas that can build up inside homes without any visible warning signs. Because it’s both odorless and invisible, many homeowners are unaware of its presence until testing is performed. In Connecticut, where soil conditions often contain uranium deposits, radon exposure is more common than many realize — making regular testing a vital part of maintaining a safe living environment.
Even low levels of radon can pose long-term health risks, particularly with continuous exposure over several years. Elevated radon levels have been directly linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, making early detection and mitigation essential for every household. By identifying radon early, homeowners can take proactive steps to reduce indoor concentrations and protect their families from potential harm.
At Modern Home Inspections, we take the guesswork out of radon testing. Our team provides accurate, data-driven results and clear next steps, helping you make informed decisions about your home’s air quality.

FAQ's
Learn More About Radon Testing
1. What is radon and why is it dangerous?
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that forms naturally in soil and rock. Long-term exposure to high radon levels can increase the risk of lung cancer, making regular testing essential for a safe home.
2. How does radon get into my home?
Radon enters through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, sump pumps, or unfinished areas. It can accumulate indoors, especially in basements or lower levels where air circulation is limited.
3. How often should I test my home for radon?
It’s recommended to test every two years, after major renovations, or if you’ve recently moved into a new home. Homes in Connecticut should be tested more frequently due to naturally high soil radon levels.
4. What happens if high radon levels are found?
If elevated levels are detected, a radon mitigation system can be installed to safely vent radon gas outdoors. Your inspector will provide clear next steps and connect you with trusted mitigation professionals.
5. Can I perform radon testing myself?
