Radon Testing
With a WynTec Radon Test you’ll receive:
- A comprehensive visual inspection of the lowest habitable area of the home to identify potential entry points of Radon gas

At WynTec, improving the air quality of the client’s living environment is of paramount importance. Many indoor contaminants can reduce the fresh air we need for good health, Mold and Radon to name a few.
Radon is a naturally occurring gas created by the decay of Uranium, is colorless, oderless, and is produced in most soils and rocks. Why is it of concern?
- Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States accounting for over 20,000 deaths per year.
- Radon gas is measured in “picocuries” and the EPA recommends the home owner take action when its levels reach 4 picocuries per liter or more.
- In Monroe County, NY alone there are three towns with over 25% of the homes tested above EPA’s recommended action level.
