Radon Testing Services in Lubbock, West Texas & Eastern New Mexico
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium in soil breaks down. It can seep into buildings through foundation cracks, crawlspaces, and gaps — quietly accumulating to dangerous levels over time.
Exposure to elevated radon levels is a leading cause of lung cancer for non‑smokers and a serious indoor air quality concern for homeowners and businesses alike.
Why Radon Testing Matters
Even in regions where average radon levels may be moderate, radon levels can vary greatly from one property to the next. A home next door could be safe while yours might exceed health risk levels — making professional radon testing essential to protect your family or occupants.
