Test Your Radon Knowledge

Posted on November 6, 2022

On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your radon knowledge? Over the next few weeks we are going to review the most commonly asked questions about radon testing. It doesn’t hurt to refresh your memory on this – after all it could be hazardous to your health when it reaches high concentrations inside your home!

𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝟭. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗻?

Fall and winter are the best seasons to test your home for radon because they will provide the most accurate reading for how high radon levels in your home can get. During these colder months, we reduce the air flow through our homes by keeping windows closed, thus allowing radon concentrations to build up inside. As a result, November is the perfect time to start thinking about how you can take action on the potential hazards of radon in your home.

(be honest) how did you do on your first question?

If you’re looking to build a high quality and efficient home then look no further. Doug Tarry Homes has high standards in every aspect of their business from the way they develop a neighbourhood to the finishing touches on their homes. … More If you’re unsure of how it works stop into one of their model homes and talk with their sales team. They will take the best care of your needs to make sure your dreams come to life and simplify the process so you understand every step along the way. I have done many deals with Cathy in Eagle Ridge and I’m always excited to refer my clients to work with Cathy because of her high standards for customer service, communication and her professionalism.

Building our home was a wonderful experience start to finish and we couldn't be happier! Cathy was so kind, patient, and helpful as we navigated the process. She took time to show us different lot options and guided us through making … More changes to ensure everything was just right.
Melinda was equally amazing! She made picking out all the finishes for our home fun and was so patient with us as we considered every detail.
During construction, we had the opportunity to see our home at different stages--framing, drywall, cabinetry, and it was so exciting to see everything come together.
Before closing, we met with the customer care team, who inspected the house top to bottom with us to make sure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail and care for our home gave us so much confidence in the quality of our new home.
If you're considering building a home, I can't recommend this team enough. They made the entire journey smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. Thank you so much for helping us create our dream home!

I'm very happy about my purchase of my first Doug Tarry Homes in St.Thomas. Cathy, Michelle and the décor team at DTL were amazing. All my concerns were handled in a professional and within a timely manner. I actually started off looking … More at Hayhoe Homes. My biggest concern was when all my email and voice mail messages to Hayhoe went unanswered. My friend Mark Thompson had just closed on his house and brought me to see Cathy. Speaking with her made me feel welcome and left very informed with all the necessary paperwork to purchase my home. I have nothing but good things to say about this builder. I am still amazed and very excited to move in as soon as it is completed.
