Radon Testing

radon gas and lung cancer, Professional Radon Testing Services & It's Health Benefits

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that slips into homes through foundation cracks, crawl spaces, and ventilation points. Because it’s invisible and odorless, radon often goes undetected—yet it’s the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., accounting for approximately 21,000 deaths annually . The EPA recommends every home be tested, regardless of location—and Northern Michigan is no exception.

At MI Homes North Inspections, we make radon testing clear, fast, and affordable. Our certified professionals use EPA-approved testing devices to measure radon levels over a 48-hour period. Throughout the testing window, you’ll receive updates and easy-to-follow instructions, ensuring accurate results and peace of mind.

Testing isn’t just for homebuyers. Sellers can also use radon results to complete disclosures, protect offer contingency timelines, or add confidence for prospective buyers. Homeowners can test annually to ensure long-term safety. Either way, we give you the knowledge to act—and the steps to reduce radon if levels are high.

If we find elevated radon levels (4 pCi/L or above, per EPA guidelines), we’ll explain the risk in plain language and guide you through proven mitigation options. These systems—like sub-slab depressurization—are highly effective and cost-efficient. Your investment in testing and mitigation can significantly reduce health risks and often adds value when you’re ready to sell.

Our service includes:

  • Certified, Professional-grade Continuous Radon Monitors

  • In-home device placement and retrieval

  • Fast report delivery

  • Digital reports you can share with agents or lenders

Results are delivered within ~48 hours. We believe in honest service: no jargon, no pressure—just reliable radon testing for your family’s safety.

When Should You Test?

We recommend annual radon testing, especially after changes like basement remodeling, foundation repairs, or major HVAC updates. If you’re selling a home, pre-inspection testing is smart. If you’re buying, consider adding radon testing to your pre-purchase inspection to avoid last-minute delays or surprises.

What Do Elevated Levels Mean?

Radon exposure over time increases lung cancer risk—even for nonsmokers. The EPA advises mitigation at levels of 4 pCi/L or higher, though lower levels also pose some risk. A mitigation system significantly lowers radon and protects your family and future home value.
