Proudly Serving the Lubbock Area
Nicknamed the “Hub Cit,” Lubbock is a West Texas hub bearing both rural roots and university town progression. Known as a health, education, and business nexus for small outlying towns, Lubbock has exchanged some Panhandle cowboy character for metropolitan diversity yet keeps storied music halls echoing to Western swing rhythms. Though isolated on the plains, Lubbock is overflowing with culture and opportunity.
Lubbock falls into the higher end of Radon Zone 2 as designated by the EPA. Though this indicates a moderate risk of radon just below the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L, no level of indoor radon is safe. Long-term exposure to even moderate amounts of radon can pose significant health risks, which is why it is important you have your Lubbock home tested.
Radon Testing Services in Lubbock
Though Lubbock’s average radon level is slightly below the EPA’s action level, radon levels can vary substantially from home to home, even in the same neighborhood. On top of that, radon levels can fluctuate quite drastically over time as uranium decays in the soil. This means that even low testing homes can eventually see major spikes in radon which is why routine testing is so important!
Following the strict testing protocols set forth by the Indoor Environments Association™ (formerly AARST), our RMPs place specialized measurement devices in the lowest livable space in your property to collect air samples (2-90 days for short-term testing and 90+ for long-term). At the end of the test, devices are collected and sent to be analyzed at a lab, with results available within 48 hours of delivery.
Radon Mitigation Services in Lubbock
Radon is a radioactive gas originating from the decay of uranium in soil and rock that can accumulate to cancer-causing levels within indoor spaces. With an average of about 21,000 lung cancer deaths attributable to radon each year, exposure over time poses substantial health risks, damaging lung tissue through alpha radiation as radon decays. Any radon exposure carries some degree of lung cancer risk, which is why an effective mitigation system is so crucial.
The EPA recommends mitigation for any home or structure showing radon levels above 4 pCi/L. However, even though the average level of indoor radon in Lubbock is below the EPA action level, your home can still have high concentrations. Thankfully, our experienced RMPs design and install highly effective radon mitigation systems.
