Radon Test $99
Radon is a harmful radioactive and naturally occurring gas found in over 7% of American homes. Radon levels are measured by picoCuries per liter of air (pCi/L) and interpreted Radon Test results are classified into two scenarios.
Scenario I – Radon level less than 4 pCi/L which is considered to be safe.
Scenario II – Radon level above 4 pCi/L which is considered to be unsafe.
The Environment Protection Agency has established levels of Radon below 4 pCi/L to be considered not elevated; whereas, levels above 4 pCi/L to be considered elevated and meriting a mitigation system.
Methamphetamine Test $159

Swab 1 – Heating, ventilation and cooling ductwork.
Swab 2 – Main bathroom wall surface above vanity.
Swab 3 – Kitchen wall surface above oven / range.
The State of Utah recognizes levels below 1.0 microgram of meth per 100 cm to be safe and not merit decontamination. Homes with levels above 1.0 microgram of meth per 100 cm should be retested by a state-certified decontamination specialist.
Mold Test $299
Testing for mold in your air should be done when a visual examination of the property yields the following:
