Every area of the country has environmental issues that are more prevalent depending on where you are. Might be termites in CA or mold along the coast. For Colorado buyers, sellers, and homeowners, one of our biggest environmental concerns is radon gas. The majority of the time it is part of the inspection process when a home changes hands. Or if you have been in our home for a long time and are not planning on moving, I encourage you to get your home tested (with either a short term or long term test). Even if there is a radon system already in place it is a good idea to test radon levels when you’re purchasing a home (or live in a home that never been tested). On more than one occasion my clients have discovered that the systems in place are not working properly (either due to missing ground cover, or multiple levels to a home that were not accounted for in the mitigation plan). Make sure you are protected. Check out the great information Scott Home Inspection put out in regards to the 6 Most Frequently Asked Questions About Radon.
