Home Inspection Firm Approved for Cancer Causing Radon Gas Testing

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) October 17, 2008 -- Starting immediately, real estate professionals, homebuyers, sellers and schools in Southern California will have access to a 48-hour test service, which provides important health information on exposure to cancer causing Radon Gas.

Steve Zivolich, the senior inspector stated, "Guaranteed Property Inspection (GPI) is proud to be registered with the California Department of Health, the National Radon Proficiency Program and the National Environmental Health Association to offer this important Radon safety testing for our clients. GPI will use state-of-the art, continuous electronic radon monitors for accurate 48 hour testing results under EPA guidelines."

Testing is the only way to know if home or building occupants are at risk from radon. EPA and the Surgeon General recommend testing all homes below the third floor for radon. EPA also recommends testing in schools.

Radon is estimated to cause 22,000 thousand deaths each year in the US. That's because when a person breathes air-containing radon, they can get lung cancer. In fact, the Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Only smoking causes more lung cancer deaths. If a person smokes and their home has high radon levels, the risk of lung cancer is especially high.

Recent news reports have cautioned about granite counter tops producing harmful radon. Several companies that are not legally registered with the CA Department of Health have been providing invalid testing methods for frightened homeowners. The GPI registered and certified Radon specialist will provide proper EPA radon testing methods and analysis for homeowners with granite counter top concerns.
