SPOTLIGHT:
JANUARY IS RADON ACTION MONTH IN THE U.S.
An estimated 1 in 6 homes in the U.S. has an elevated level of radon. Radon can affect any type of home – old or new homes, well-sealed or drafty homes, homes with or without basements. Prolonged exposure to unsafe levels of radon can increase the risk of lung cancer; in fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. There is real risk in not knowing if a home has a high level of radon.
HOW DOES RADON GET INTO A HOME?
Openings or cracks in basement walls, foundations or floors are common avenues. Sumps, basement drains, and spaces between gas or water fittings can also allow radon into the structure. Other entry points can include gaps in suspended floors and cavities within walls.
HOW CAN I MAKE SURE MY CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AREN’T AT RISK?
Testing is the only way to measure radon levels. Your Pillar To Post Home Inspector will set up monitoring equipment and report on the results. If an elevated level of radon is detected, steps can be taken to reduce the concentration to or below acceptable levels inside virtually any home. Professional mitigation services can provide solutions for a home’s specific conditions.
For your clients’ peace of mind, request radon testing when you book your next home inspection with Pillar To Post Home Inspectors.
E&O INSURANCE:
Why it matters when it comes to home inspection
If the home inspector you refer doesn’t carry E&O insurance, you could be at risk if a client includes you in a legal claim against the inspector. To us, that is an unacceptable and avoidable occurrence. Unlike some other home inspection companies and many independent home inspectors, all Pillar To Post home inspectors must carry E&O insurance.
We take seriously our responsibility and our accountability to provide to your clients – and therefore to you – a home inspection experience that does not put you at legal risk for wrongful referral. You can always refer Pillar To Post with confidence that you will be protected from such legal claims.
