Yes. TDEC reports that radon at levels needing immediate action has been found in all 95 Tennessee counties. High levels are more common in East Tennessee, but Nashville and Middle Tennessee buildings can test high too. Two buildings on the same street can have very different results. The only way to know your building’s level is to test it.
High radon in Tennessee is very common. About 1 in 4 Tennessee homes tested with the state’s free radon kits come back above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. TDEC says Tennessee’s geology makes dangerous radon levels common. Commercial buildings sit on the same soil, so they face the same risk.
If results are at or above 4.0 pCi/L, the next step is radon mitigation. After a system is installed, a follow-up test confirms levels have come down.
Yes, it’s a good idea. Radon at levels needing action has been found in every Tennessee county, including Davidson County. Since radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in people who don’t smoke and the second leading cause overall, it’s important to test. You can’t see or smell it, and it builds up in enclosed spaces like offices, warehouses, and apartments. While Tennessee law doesn’t require commercial radon testing, doing so protects the people who spend their workdays in your building. Lenders, tenants, and buyers often ask for results too.
We provide commercial radon testing in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee, including Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, and Sumner counties. We also serve more than 60 counties in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia. Call 931-802-4446 to schedule.
