Radon Testing Services
StoneMark Inspections provides professional radon testing services for homes in Paducah, KY and throughout Western Kentucky. Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can accumulate inside homes without any visible warning signs.
Why Radon Testing Matters
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States and the leading cause among non-smokers. Elevated radon levels have been found in homes of all ages, styles, and price ranges — including new construction.
Because radon cannot be seen or smelled, testing is the only reliable way to know whether a home has elevated levels.
Professional vs DIY Radon Tests
While consumer radon test kits are widely available, real estate transactions and risk decisions often require professionally conducted and documented measurements.
- Use of calibrated, approved continuous radon monitors
- Controlled test conditions verified and documented
