Radon Testing

Uncover the hidden threat of radon, a naturally-occurring, odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas in your home. Radon testing is crucial to determine if your Denver, CO residence or surrounding areas are exposed to unsafe levels of this harmful gas. Ensure your family’s safety with our comprehensive radon testing services.

What is Radon?

More Info

Radon, a naturally-occurring gas, is odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Radon testing is the only way to know if your home has unsafe levels of Radon gas.
Radon gas is produced when uranium 238 and other radioactive elements break down in soil, rock, and water. Released into the air, it accumulates in poorly ventilated areas. Exposure to Radon causes cancer. It is estimated to cause about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the U.S.

3 out of 4 Colorado homes have unsafe Radon levels

More Info
According to a Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment report, all structures in Colorado have the potential for elevated indoor radon levels. An elevated rating for radon is 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. It sounds very technical. Don’t worry; we will walk you through the results.

What to expect

More Info
Horizon Home Inspections will conduct a radon test over a 48-hour period. A radon graph and interval report will show the detected levels of radon during the test. Based on the results, we will advise you on any radon mitigation procedures to alleviate any radon issues.

Sewer Scope

Checking out the pipes

Not all home inspections require a sewer scope. For example, it is not necessary when purchasing a condominium. However, if your new home is connected to the city sewer system or has a septic system it could be very important.

You might be responsible for repairs

More Info
In many municipalities home owners are responsible for repairs to the main sewer line connecting them to the city sewer system. In addition, many home owners’ insurance policies will not cover damage outside the foundation of the home. So, any potential damage could be out of your pocket.

Five reasons to have your sewer scoped

More Info
  • Repairs can be expensive
  • Roots are attracted to water
  • Improper installation during construction
  • Natural wear and tear
  • You can’t maintain what you don’t know

Our sewer scoping service includes

More Info
  • Video scope of the main sewer line – home to city system
  • Video with commentary – to help you understand any issues

Thermal Imaging

Many of your home’s systems are behind walls – electrical, heating. This makes it difficult to inspect those systems without damaging the walls. No we can’t see through walls. However, we can use thermal imaging to read heat temperatures. Allowing us to identify possible defects not visible to the naked eye.
