Radon Testing
Radon is a radioactive gas that’s odorless, colorless, and tasteless — and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. behind smoking. Testing is the only way to know if you and your family are at risk.
Overview
The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend radon testing for all homes below the third floor. The latest studies show that 1 in 5 homes in the U.S. have elevated radon levels — and there are no symptoms of radon exposure for up to a year. The only way to be safe is to have your home tested. Franklin Environmental Services is certified by the National Radon Proficiency Program and is the number one choice for radon testing in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin and all of Middle Tennessee. Our NRPP-certified technicians use continuous radon monitors that record hour-by-hour readings under closed-house conditions.
