Radon Testing in Augusta, GA
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the soil, and it is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America. Augusta Home & Property Inspection LLC (AHPI) provides professional radon testing in Augusta, GA, giving you accurate results so you can protect your family's health.
The CSRA's geology includes granite formations that can produce elevated radon levels. Basements, crawlspaces, and slab-on-grade homes are all susceptible. The only way to know your radon level is to test. Our InterNACHI-certified inspector uses calibrated continuous radon monitors for precise, tamper-resistant measurements.

Why Radon Testing Matters in Augusta
The EPA recommends taking action at 4.0 pCi/L, but no level of radon is completely risk-free. Many Augusta-area homes have never been tested. Whether you are buying, selling, or simply want peace of mind, radon testing is an inexpensive way to identify a serious health risk. If levels are elevated, mitigation systems are proven effective and affordable.
When to Test for Radon
Home buyers: Add radon testing to your inspection contingency.
Home sellers: Proactive testing avoids closing delays.
Homeowners: The EPA recommends retesting every two years.
After renovations: Changes to the foundation or HVAC system can affect radon levels.
