Radon is a naturally occurring gas that you can’t see or smell. It’s common in many parts of Massachusetts, and long-term exposure can be harmful. The only way to know if a home has radon is to test for it.
That’s why radon testing is often done at the same time as a home inspection. A small monitor is placed in the home for a set period of time, usually 48 hours. The test measures radon levels and gives a clear result.
If levels are high, don’t panic. Radon can be reduced with a professional system that vents it safely outside. Many homes in Berkshire County already have these systems installed.
Testing during your inspection window gives you peace of mind and time to make decisions before closing. At MC Home Inspections, we make the process simple and provide results quickly so you can move forward with confidence.
