Radon Testing in Orlando

About Radon Testing

Did you know that exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and lung cancer deaths, in the US behind smoking? See information on Florida Health.

We perform radon testing with Radalink Radon Monitors throughout Orlando. The process takes about 48 hours for a complete and accurate result. Find out more about our process and about Radon below.

Info About Radon

Present Everywhere

Just like mold, radon gas exists in every environment, even the one you're reading this in right now. It becomes a concern when the gas gets trapped and builds up over time.

Unit of Measure

The EPA states that 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air) is the threshold for radon levels. Below 4 is considered safe and above 4 is considered elevated and should be addressed.

Causes of Radon

Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural decay of uranium in soil, rocks, water, and some building materials. It is odorless, tasteless, and invisible.

Health Effects

Studies conducted by organizations such as the EPA, National Cancer Institute, and the National Academy of Sciences support the potential negative health effects of long term exposure.

How do we test for radon?

AirCat Monitor

Our team is licensed by the state of Florida and uses an AirCat Continuous Monitor. It is more accurate than over the counter test kits that can be found at home improvement stores. 

Placement in the Home

The AirCat monitor is placed in the home and collects readings for 48-72 hours. The home must be kept in “closed” condition to ensure the most accurate reading.

RadaLink Upload

After sitting in the home for 48-72 hours, the readings are electronically sent to RadaLink, a Georgia based laboratory that is an industry leader in environmental testing.

Detailed Report

RadaLink produces a detailed report within 24-48 hours of receiving the data. It documents the radon level in the home and RadaLink has support staff available for questions and guidance.

AJ Pena is a true professional. He arrived on time, was open to all questions, and promptly delivered an extensive report. I would highly recommend AJ Pena and Waypoint Property Inspection.

Great experience working with Waypoint! We inquired about an inspection on a new build and the team made this a very simple process. Special thanks to Laurie for walking us through the process and to Oliver as well who gave us a very thorough report!

Jeff did a great job for us. He was thorough and took time to explain his findings with us. This inspection gave us the peace of mind we needed around our home purchase
Oliver did a great job with our inspection was very helpful and honest we felt. Also we didn’t feel like he was in a hurry to quickly get the job done to move onto the next job. Oliver explained everything about the house and showed us how certain things even worked in the house that we had no clue about since we are first time homeowners!! I highly recommend Oliver for the job of inspections not sure how great the other inspectors are with waypoint but I know if we ever purchase again we will be putting in a request to only have Oliver Peebles to complete our inspections!!! Thanks for the great , honest inspection!

Donnie was exceptional! He did a thorough inspection and never once did he make the buyer feel like they should not buy the house. He gave the buyer good tips and proper maintenance ideas for the house, Pointed out the things that did need, addressing before passing an inspection, and spoke to my client as if the house was already hers. As a real estate agent, you always want a great inspector as a partner, so that transactions can go through smoothly. Waypoint is the way!
