Radon Testing
Almost half the homes in Wisconsin test positive for dangerous levels of radon gas. Performing a radon test is the only way to know if there is radon in your home. Five Star Inspections offers radon testing for single family homes, home inspectors and realtors. We are certified radon professionals and perform thorough radon tests.

Our Radon Gas Test determines if your home’s radon gas exceeds action levels established by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Radon is Invisible
You and your family can’t see or smell radon gas but it’s present in every home. Radon gas comes from radioactive elements (uranium and radium) present in soil. Radon gas enters through the home’s foundation.
Radon is Dangerous
- Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas present in every home
- 1 in 3 homes has test levels that exceed the EPA’s action level for radon exposure
- A family whose home has high levels is exposed to 35x more radiation as the NRC would allow if that family were standing next to a radioactive waste site
- Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the EPA
How Do We Test?

- Our radon monitor tests air samples for 48+ hours
