You’re not just testing for radon; you’re turning something invisible into a number you can act on.
Radon testing measures how much radon gas has built up inside your home. The test runs for at least 48 hours with the windows and doors kept closed. The EPA recommends taking action at 4.0 pCi/L or higher.
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps up from soil and rock. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
Pure View Property Inspections performs radon testing across Seattle, King County, and Snohomish County. Book it on its own, or add it to your home inspection.
Every radon test includes device placement, a full measurement period, and a written result you can act on.
Here is what you get:
King County and Snohomish County sit in EPA Radon Zone 2. That means the predicted average indoor radon level falls between 2 and 4 pCi/L, moderate potential, not low. Washington’s highest-risk Zone 1 counties are Clark, Spokane, and Yakima. You can check the designations on the EPA Map of Radon Zones for Washington.
But a zone is an average, and averages hide outliers. Two houses on the same Seattle block can measure very differently. Soil, foundation type, and how tightly the home is sealed all change the result.
Basements and daylight basements raise the odds, and Seattle has plenty of both. Newer, tightly built homes hold air in longer, which can concentrate radon. The Washington State Department of Health recommends testing regardless of where you live.
Test any time the answer would change a decision.
In practice, that means:
We are a family-owned local inspection company, and we treat every client like part of the family.
We don’t sell radon mitigation systems, so nothing rides on your number. You get the measurement, a plain reading of what it means, and referrals to contractors who fix it.
A radon test needs at least 48 hours, so we place the device as early in your inspection window as we can. Your result arrives with time left to negotiate.
Add radon to your home inspection and one family-owned team handles both in fewer trips. Every inspection carries our 200% Guarantee: we refund your fee and pay for another.

You get your radon results in writing, with the measured level in pCi/L and a clear reading of what it means.
Your result | What the EPA recommends |
|---|---|
Below 2 pCi/L | Low. Retest every few years. |
2 to 4 pCi/L | Consider mitigation. |
4 pCi/L or higher | Fix the home. |
We do not sell radon mitigation systems, so your number arrives with no upsell attached. If your level is high, we refer you to qualified contractors and help you read their quotes.

You’re investing in clarity, security, and smart decision-making. A sewer scope inspection from Pure View Property Inspections LLC empowers you to move forward with confidence, protecting your home, your budget, and your family’s peace of mind.
No radon level is completely risk-free. The EPA recommends fixing homes that measure 4.0 pCi/L or higher, and considering a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Outdoor air averages about 0.4 pCi/L.
It can be. King and Snohomish counties are in EPA Radon Zone 2, meaning a predicted average between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Washington’s highest-risk counties are Clark, Spokane, and Yakima. But averages don’t tell you about your house; only a test does.
A short-term test needs at least 48 hours with the doors and windows closed. Washington’s Department of Health describes a 3 to 4 day closed-house test. Plan for two to four days start to finish.
You can, and it beats not testing. But a DIY kit depends on you following the closed-house rules exactly, and mailing it to a lab adds a week. Real estate transactions usually call for a professional test, because the result has to be defensible.
Radon problems are fixable. A mitigation system vents soil gas from beneath the foundation to the outside. We refer you to qualified mitigation contractors, and we do not sell systems ourselves.
Yes, and that is the most common way clients book it. Ask for radon when you schedule your inspection, and we handle both in one trip.
