Pre-Purchase Inspections
For most of us, a home is one of the largest investments we ever make. Whether you're buying for the first time or well-versed in the buying process, one of the best ways to know you're making a sound investment is to hire a qualified Home Inspector.

Now that you are living in your home, it is important to ensure you and your family are safe!
What is Radon Gas?
It is a colourless, odourless gas that contains radioactive particles.
Why is it a concern?
Radon gas is a known cause of lung cancer.
Is it a problem in the Okanagan?
Yes, the BC Radiation Protection Branch recommends testing in every home between the Costal and Rocky Mountains. The Okanagan Valley is considered “at risk”.
Is it in every house?
No and in some houses the level will be low enough to be considered safe, while others will have concentrations high enough to constitute a significant health risk.
How do I know if my home has high Radon Gas levels?
Testing is the only way to be sure, and long term testing is most accurate. A radon gas test should last at least 3 months in the heating season while 9 to 12 months is better. The 9 month test should include a heating season.
How do I test for Radon Gas?
HomePro sells long term Alpha Track Radon gas test kits which can alert you of high levels and are considered very reliable, contact us for complete information.
What can be done if the readings are high?
Mitigation is a fairly simple process but the first step is to find out if the level of Radon Gas in your home are cause for concern.
