Radon Testing | Middle Tennessee & North Alabama

Radon is a naturally occurring, odorless, and invisible radioactive gas—and the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Emerging from the natural decay of uranium in soil and bedrock, radon enters homes through foundation cracks, sump pumps, crawlspaces, and concrete slab joints.

At Atchley Home Inspections LLC, I provide certified, high-precision continuous radon monitoring across Southern Middle Tennessee and North Alabama to ensure your new home's air is safe before you close.

In the limestone-rich soils of Middle Tennessee and North Alabama, radon gas levels can vary hour by hour. I don't rely on basic charcoal canisters or slow passive tests. As an IAC2 Certified Radon Specialist and InterNACHI® Certified Tester, I utilize the RadonEye Pro—the gold standard in continuous radon monitoring (CRM).

• Industrial-Grade Sensitivity: Features a highly sensitive pulsed ionization chamber that provides data 15x faster and with significantly higher accuracy than standard consumer-grade monitors.
• Real-Time Data Logging: While basic DIY kits only give you a single "average" number after days of waiting, the RadonEye Pro records radon fluctuations every hour. This reveals if levels spike during the night or during specific weather patterns.
• Tamper-Detection Technology: For real estate transactions in Fayetteville, Pulaski, and surrounding areas, integrity is everything. Built-in motion and light sensors detect if the unit has been moved or if windows were opened during testing.
• Fast Digital Reports: You receive a clear, easy-to-read digital report within 24 hours of test completion, complete with a visual graph of hourly radon levels.

Much of our region—from Lincoln, Giles, and Maury Counties in Tennessee down to Madison and Limestone Counties in Alabama—sits on limestone geology and expansive soils. Because radon levels cannot be predicted based on a neighbor's home or the age of a house, testing is the only way to know your actual indoor exposure risk.

• EPA Action Threshold: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking corrective action if indoor radon levels test at or above 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter).
• Fast Closing Turnaround: Hourly readings over a 48-hour testing window deliver an official digital report well within your standard 7- to 14-day inspection contingency window.
• Negotiation Power: If elevated radon levels are detected, your official report provides the exact data needed to request a professional radon mitigation system or closing credits from the seller.

Anyone that is having radon testing conducted must follow these guidelines
