"Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers — and you can't see or smell it. Certified testing is the only way to know your home's level."
Radon testing measures the level of radon — an invisible, odorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas — inside the home. It seeps up from the soil and can collect indoors, especially in lower levels, without any sign that it's there.
It matters because radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to the EPA. The only way to know whether a home has elevated levels is to test — and much of the Tennessee Valley and North Alabama region sits in areas known for higher radon potential.
Lane Ragsdale performs radon testing throughout Fayetteville and communities across Southern Middle Tennessee and North Alabama. As a Certified Master Inspector (CMI®) licensed in both states, he places and monitors the test properly and gives you clear, documented results.
A Lighthouse radon test follows proper placement and timing so your results accurately reflect the home's conditions.
A certified radon test that measures the concentration of the gas over the proper testing period.
Testing in the lowest livable level, positioned and set up according to accepted protocols.
Documented findings that tell you exactly where your home stands relative to EPA action levels.
If levels are elevated, guidance on next steps and how radon mitigation works.
Because radon is invisible and has no immediate symptoms, it's easy to ignore — but long-term exposure carries a real, well-documented health risk. Testing turns an unknown into a number you can act on.
For buyers, a radon test is a small step that answers a big question before you commit to a home. For owners, it's peace of mind — and if a problem exists, catching it means you can address it long before it affects your family's health.
If levels come back elevated, the good news is that radon is very treatable. A mitigation system is a straightforward, effective fix, and testing is the first step toward it.
Your radon test delivers clear, documented results that tell you exactly where your home stands — in plain language.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It's invisible and odorless, and it can enter a home through the foundation and collect indoors.

Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Since you can't see or smell it, testing is the only way to know your home's level — and this region is known for higher radon potential.
A standard short-term test runs over a set period (typically a couple of days) with the device placed in the lowest livable level. Lane handles proper placement and retrieves the results for you.
Elevated radon is very treatable. A mitigation system vents the gas safely away from the home, and re-testing confirms it's working. Lane can point you toward the right next steps.
