home to: evaluate the physical condition, structure, construction, and mechanical systems, identify items that need to be repaired or replaced, estimate the remaining useful life of the major systems, equipment, structure, and finishes. |

Radon Gas Testing
The United States Environmental Protection Agency and
the Surgeon General of the United States have
recommended that all houses should be tested for radon.
For more information on radon testing, call the National
Radon Information Line at 1-800-SOS-Radon or
1-800-767-7236. As with a home inspection, if you
decide to test for radon, you may do so before signing
your contract, or you may do so after signing the contract
as long as your contract states the sale of the home
depends on your satisfaction with the results of the radon test.
