Prolonged exposure to radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, following smoking. While radon levels may be lower in Florida than in northern states, the gas is still present, making radon testing essential for maintaining a safe indoor environment.

Like mold, radon gas is found in every environment, including the space you’re in right now. It becomes a concern when it gets trapped indoors and accumulates to harmful levels over time.
The EPA sets a radon safety threshold at 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). Levels below 4 pCi/L are considered safe, while anything above is elevated and should be addressed to reduce exposure risks.
Radon is a radioactive gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil, rock, water, and even some building materials. It is odorless, tasteless, and invisible, making professional testing the only way to detect its presence.
Research from the EPA, National Cancer Institute, and National Academy of Sciences links long-term radon exposure to serious health risks, including an increased risk of lung cancer. Regular testing is essential to ensure safe indoor air quality. Not sure if your home needs a test?
Our team is licensed by the state of Florida and uses an Breeze Continuous Monitor. It is more accurate than over the counter test kits that can be found at home improvement stores.
The Breeze monitor is placed in the home and collects readings for 48-72 hours. The home must be kept in “closed” condition to ensure the most accurate reading.
After sitting in the home for 48-72 hours, the readings are electronically sent to PriorityLab which is an industry leader in environmental testing.
PriorityLab produces a detailed report within 24-48 hours of receiving the data. It documents the radon level in the home and PriorityLab has support staff available for questions and guidance.

Radon is an odorless, colorless gas that can accumulate indoors and is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Testing is the only way to detect it. For a quick checklist, see the 5 signs your home needs radon testing.
A professional uses specialized detectors to measure radon levels over a set period. Short-term and long-term tests are available for accurate results.
If radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L, mitigation measures, such as ventilation systems or sealing entry points, can help reduce exposure.
While some regions have higher radon concentrations, radon can be present anywhere, including Florida, making testing important for all homes.
