My Promise to You
Choosing the right home inspector can be difficult. Unlike most professionals you hire, you probably won't meet me until our appointment. Furthermore, different inspectors have varying qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing.
Ultimately, a thorough home inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector’s own effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I guarantee that I will give you my very best effort. - Mike Green

Should you have your home tested for Radon?
CDC recommends:
You should test your home’s radon levels
CDC recommends:
You should test your home’s radon levels
- If it’s never been tested or radon levels are unknown
- When preparing to buy or sell
- Before and after any renovations, especially after making any repairs to reduce radon levels
- Before making any lifestyle changes in the home that would cause someone to spend more time in the basement or lower level (like converting a basement to a bedroom)
Evergreen Home Inspections LLC offers certified radon testing as an add on to home inspections.
Or if you prefer-
- Many radon test kits can be found online or in home improvement stores. Follow the directions on the packaging for the proper placement of the device and where to send the device after the test to find out your radon level. For more information check out the CDC's link below.
Continuous Radon Monitors
Like you, we are concerned about our family’s health. According to the EPA and CDC, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Overall, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths every year.
Radon is everywhere; therefore, it is impossible to get a reading of 0. According to the EPA radon zone map of Virginia, some areas may be more concentrated than other areas, however, the map is not absolute. One house may have what’s considered to be a “safe” reading, whereas the house next door has an unsafe reading. Therefore, the CDC and the EPA recommend that every home be tested for radon. Homes with high levels of radon can be easily mitigated.
The EPA states that short term radon testing for real estate transactions can provide adequate results, however, long term testing is preferred. The longer the test, the better the results will reflect your home and lifestyle. Why? Radon levels in the home fluctuate greatly, depending on the season and weather. Radon levels may be significantly higher in the cold months, when windows are kept shut. The following chart is for illustrative purposes only. (EVICRADON.ORG)
According to evicradon.org a study conducted in 776 houses across Canada demonstrates that long term testing provides precise results in over 96% of cases—whereas short term tests fail to predict the same outcomes up to 98% of the time. As a result, homeowners may think they have a radon problem when levels are actually safe—or worse, believe their radon levels to be safe when they are actually high enough to be a lung cancer risk.

- Evergreen Home Inspection performed a home inspection of a house on which we made an offer to purchase. This was a general inspection and testing for radon. They were thorough and professional.

- I highly recommend Evergreen Home Inspections. I hired Mike to do a home inspection after receiving one from another Inspector that contained errors. Mike’s report is far superior in my estimation, and his charges more reasonable. The report I received came in good time and is a thorough, organized, meticulous, and objective listing of facts and substantive observations coupled with opinion based on experience and good knowledge. My report, in my opinion, reads as a fair accounting of the current condition of the house with regard for facts and without regard for either buyer or seller. I consider my report to contain reliable information of practical consequence and I feel well armed to take on the responsibility of owning the house. -MA

- We relied on Evergreen Home Inspection due to needing to relocate to Southside Virginia from out of state. Mike’s professionalism, thoroughness and detailed reports provided insight into potential costly repairs necessary on the first home we liked online, and resulted in our actually closing on the perfect-for-us home that was move-in ready. Mike’s objective home inspections on the two homes we compared was what ‘sealed the deal’ for us - and was definitely worth the reasonable price. I’d highly recommend Mike and his expertise! -PB

I spoke with him the next day to review his findings to better understand the whole process. -JC
