The EPA recommends every home in Middle Tennessee should be tested for Radon. What is Radon? Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown (radioactive decay) of uranium. Typically, it is found in igneous rock and soil. However, well water may also be a source of radon. Why does the EPA say we need to test for it? Because radon is the number one leading cause of lung cancer in non-smoker’s and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the country. Middle Tennessee is listed as a high probability area for radon gas. There are amounts of uranium containing rock and soil in our part of the country, and these geological formations provide the perfect scenario for radon gas entry into our homes. Real estate agents and brokers do not have to recommend radon testing, and many do not. Often, they are untrained regarding the adverse affects of radon and its location in Middle Tennessee’s soil. According to the EPA, however, some of the highest levels of radon in Tennessee have been found in Davidson, Maury, Williamson and Rutherford counties. Home owners should have their houses checked for levels of radon, and if worrisome levels are discovered, a mitigation system can be installed. If one has already been installed, it should be inspected. EPA’s Radon Video The EPA offers consumers a video about radon in real estate. Order a free copy by calling the Indoor Air Quality information line, 1-800-438-4318, and asking for publication number (EPA 402-V-02-003) (TRT 13.10). The more you know about radon, the better you will protect you and your family’s health. Health Impact of Radon Exposure Radon is now the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer for smokers. There are about 21,000 lung cancer deaths related to radon each year. Approximately 2,900 of these are non-smokers. https://www.picklesimerhomeinspections.com/prelisting-inspection daily 0.75 2021-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153634608b98227550991c7/0c276866-e20f-4830-9d49-4cfee1d5110c/Southern+Kitchen.jpeg Pre-Listing Inspection - Pre-Listing Inspection Putting your home on the market without an inspection could cost you. Don’t get caught unaware of unseen problems and risk a potential buyer backing out of negotiations. Make sure your home is in good condition by first hiring Picklesimer Home Inspections. A house may look great, but have serious technical, safety, or functional issues present without the owner's knowledge. Having the home inspected prior to being placed on the market is the ideal way to identify and either repair or disclose the issue found in the inspection report. Obviously, repairing the items would be the most beneficial towards completing the sale, however, there may be financial reasons why the owner can't make the repairs. Disclosing them up front and pricing the home based upon that disclosure will often times produce a higher net sale price for the owner. https://www.picklesimerhomeinspections.com/about daily 0.75 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153634608b98227550991c7/e1690124-649a-49d1-8184-53064853eeb5/JBP_3995_Original.jpg About Bryan - Bryan Picklesimer I received my training through American Home Inspectors Training and International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. I am an InterNACHI® Certified Professional Inspector (CPI)® and a Certified Radon Inspector. Born and raised in Nashville, I am a graduate of MTSU ('04), having competed on MTSU's Varsity Cross Country and Track teams. I have a master’s degree in sport administration from Belmont University and spent the first half of my career as an educator. I am passionate about helping others and understanding the process behind how a house functions and works, ultimately leading me to home inspections. When I am not inspecting houses, I enjoy spending my time with my two young boys, beautiful wife, and energetic dog. You can usually find me puttering around my workshop, out for a run, or at the park with family. I look forward to working with you.

Unfortunately, those same circumstances are also ideal conditions for termites. Homeowners may not even realize they have a problem until damage is already done. Thus having a termite letter in place is part of the home buying process in Tennessee. It’s a lender requirement that the home is inspected to verify no evidence of wood destroying insects such as termites and beetles. The termite letter not only confirms that no evidence of termite or wood-destroying insects is present, but will also document any previous termite treatments that may have been performed. Termites are merely one possibility; our inspectors look closely for visible signs of other wood decaying organisms like beetles and wood decaying fungus. https://www.picklesimerhomeinspections.com/schedule daily 0.75 2022-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6153634608b98227550991c7/d623f95a-6401-42af-8bef-6a8db6660b8d/Cottage+House.jpeg Contact https://www.picklesimerhomeinspections.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2025-05-09
