Building Inspection Testing for Radon

Do I Need To Test For Radon In Australia Like The USA?

Radon-Graphic

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is present in the environment all over the world. Where these naturally occurring concentrations are higher than average and the gas is concentrated in homes with little ventilation, for example, in cold climates where homes are centrally heated, the concentration of radon can reach levels that constitute a health risk in the form of increased risk of cancer.

In Australia we have two factors that make radon risks very low and testing for radon unnecessary. Firstly naturally occurring radon across all parts of australia is well below average and secondly our homes tend to be well ventilated because of our warm climate.

People do ask us about radon testing form time to time when booking their building and past inspection with us but they are usually satisfied that this is unnecessary in Australia due to the low risk. If you have a particular concern, there are companies that undertake environmental testing in homes including tests for radon but these test can be quite expensive. 

ABIS building and pest inspections are conducted to the highest standard by building inspectors with a minimum of 10 years experience together with the highest professional qualifications in their field. ABIS has been in business over 27 years conducting both building and timber pest inspections.

Our highly recommended home inspectors are all long term trusted employees not here today gone tomorrow sub-contractors. ABIS Inspectors are supported by a unique computer aided inspection system and the latest inspection equipment such as high sensitivity thermal cameras costing thousands of dollars that others don’t often have.

When you book a pre-purchase inspection with ABIS, our friendly local (they know the area and are not in a interstate or overseas call centre) staff will make the whole process easy for you. Our Office team make all the arrangements with you, your agent, the vendor, the tenant (if there is one) and you will be sent an email to confirm the inspection time along with a pre-engagement letter which covers the scope of the inspection. Good communication and local knowledge are key to you getting the most out of your building and pest inspection. We are always happy to answer all your questions and you are most welcome to be on site when we do the inspection. Our technology, systems and processes also mean you get your high quality report shortly after your inspection is completed.

And all this for an incredible low price.
