Giving you Peace of Mind

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that is emitted from the earth and found nearly everywhere in the United States.

Radon gas is second only to smoking as a cause of lung cancer.

Radon is a particular issue in the Rocky Mountains where we see a higher level of radon concentrations than elsewhere in the country.

Radon testing is advised by the EPA to be conducted during all home transactions. Elevated levels of the gas can be found in any type of foundation. In fact, radon gas is present indoor or out, but concentrates in the more tightly constructed homes being built in the last 50 years. Testing by a trained and certified individual is necessary. There are protocols that are provided by the EPA and the National Environmental Health Association’s National Radon Proficiency Program.

Proper testing in a real estate transaction requires the home be tested during “winter living conditions” where the windows and doors are closed for 12-hours prior to the testing and that the home remains closed (except for normal entry and exit) during the 48-hour testing period. This may be inconvenient, but it is the only possible method to provide a valid test.

Mountain Home Inspection utilizes highly reliable continuous radon monitors from Airthings and the Rad Elec E-perm testing system. Radon tests are passive and pose no concern to occupants in the home. Mountain Home Inspection will not perform any mitigation, remaining objective when performing these tests.

Thermal Imaging

At AA marshall, we care about our client’s experience. That is why we make it our mission to go above and beyond what is done in a normal home inspection. We find Infrared (thermal imaging) to be incredibly advantageous in our discovery process. This service by itself costs $200. With every full residential home inspection, we provide it for FREE to our clients. This technology allows us to see temperature differentiations in the home.

All home inspections are visible, non-invasive inspections. Thermal imaging allows us to take a deeper look and detect potential problems that might not be visible at first glance.

issues we may find

  • Faulty wiring, breakers and fuses
  • Hidden moisture intrusion
  • The moisture sources of mold
  • Pipe and ductwork leaks
  • Faulty wiring, breakers and fuses
  • Hidden moisture intrusion
  • Heat/energy loss
  • Structural concerns
  • Missing insulation
  • Ventilation problems
  • Moisture associated with termite nests
  • Rats, mice and other pests

Why thermal imaging?

When purchasing your dream home make sure it doesn’t have defects that can easily be located with an infrared image home inspection. Current homeowners could also benefit from having a thermal inspection done.
