Is radon a problem in Tennessee?

Yes. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) considers radon to be a very serious problem in our state. No matter where you live in Tennessee, there is the potential for radon to enter your home. Regardless of your zone designation or geographic location, all homes should be tested for radon. There is no zone that has no risk factor for radon. (www.tn.gov)

At Magnolia, we test for radon according to EPA standards required for real estate transactions. The laboratory results of those test are provided to our clients within 72 hours of completion of the radon inspection. These tests are a minimum of 48 hours and do require that “Closed Building Conditions” be maintained in the home for the duration of the radon testing period (and 12 hours prior if only 48 hours of data is to be collected). All radon gas inspections, reports, and test results are for the use of our clients only.
