RADON TESTING

For Single Family and Multi-Family Rentals

Radon is a carcinogenic gas that is hazardous to inhale and prevalent throughout Colorado. The best way to determine the radon levels in your properties is to conduct a short-term radon test. At Scott Home Services, we have a team of NRPP-certified specialists who are trained to test for radon in single family or multi-family homes. Make sure that your tenants are safe – Schedule Your Radon Tests Today!

MOLD INSPECTIONS AND TESTING

Evaluate your properties for traces of harmful mold

Mold growth can often develop when excessive moisture accumulates indoors. Sometimes the source can remain undetected, eventually leading to harmful airborne mold spores in the living space. Our two specialized services – mold inspections and mold air sample testing – can help you discover potential mold that could be unhealthy and unsafe for your tenants. Schedule Your Mold Services with Team Scott!
