Radon Testing in Murfreesboro & Middle Tennessee

Protect Your Family with Professional Radon Testing and Mitigation

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through the soil and crawlspace. It is odorless, invisible, and dangerous at elevated levels, contributing to long-term health risks such as lung cancer. Homes in Murfreesboro, Nashville, Smyrna, Lebanon, Franklin, and across Middle Tennessee can be at risk due to local soil composition and crawlspace conditions.

Crawlspace Crew provides professional radon testing and mitigation services to ensure your home is safe and your family is protected.

What Is Radon and Why Test for It?

Radon is a colorless, tasteless gas produced by the natural decay of uranium in the soil. It can enter your home through:

Cracks in foundation walls or floors
Gaps around plumbing or wiring
Crawlspaces and basements with high soil contact

Health Risks:

Long-term exposure to radon is a leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers
High radon levels can accumulate in poorly ventilated crawlspaces or basements
Testing is the only way to know your home’s radon levels

How Radon Testing Works

Crawlspace Crew uses professional-grade testing equipment and methods tailored to homes in Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee:

Initial Crawlspace Assessment – Evaluate areas where radon may enter.
Short-Term or Long-Term Testing – Place monitors in crawlspace or basement for a specified period to measure radon levels.
Detailed Results Report – Receive clear results with recommended next steps if radon levels exceed safe limits.
Optional Mitigation System Installation – If levels are high, we install venting systems or sub-slab depressurization to reduce radon safely.
Follow-Up Testing – Ensure mitigation systems are effectively reducing radon levels.

Radon Mitigation Options for Middle Tennessee Homes

Sub-Slab Depressurization – A vent pipe system that pulls radon from under the home and safely vents it outside.
Crawlspace Ventilation – Increase airflow to prevent radon accumulation.
Sealing Entry Points – Reduce radon entry through foundation cracks and gaps.
Combination Systems – Integrate mitigation with vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and encapsulation for total crawlspace protection.

Radon is a naturally occurring soil gas that moves up through the ground and into the house, and a crawl space is a direct route in. Testing tells you whether you have a problem; mitigation gives the gas a controlled path out instead of through your floor. Middle Tennessee's limestone geology puts a lot of houses here in the elevated-potential category.

When to test for radon

You are buying or selling and the inspection called for a test
You have never tested and the house sits over a crawl space
Neighbouring homes have tested high
You are about to encapsulate — a good moment to check first
You spend significant time in a room directly over the crawl space

How radon work fits with a crawl space

Test firstThere is no way to know from looking. Testing runs over a period of days in the living space, and the result decides whether anything else is warranted.
Seal the soilA properly sealed crawl space liner is the foundation of crawl space radon control, because it closes the main entry route.
Give the gas a pathMitigation means depressurising under the barrier and venting the gas above the roofline, rather than letting it find its way into the house.
Seal the remaining routesVents, penetrations and the access are sealed so the system pulls from under the liner rather than from the house.
Re-testAfter mitigation the only way to know it worked is to test again.

What radon work costs

Testing and mitigation are quoted with the job. Where mitigation is being done alongside a full encapsulation, much of the sealing work is shared between the two, which usually makes doing them together cheaper than doing them separately. Full pricing detail is on the crawl space encapsulation cost page, and every number we give you is written on site before we leave.

Radon questions

Is radon a real concern in Middle Tennessee?

Parts of this region sit over geology associated with elevated radon potential, which is why it comes up so often in real estate inspections here. Testing is the only way to know about your specific house.

Does encapsulation fix radon on its own?

It helps, because sealing the soil closes the main entry route, but sealing alone is not mitigation. Mitigation actively vents the gas from under the barrier to above the roofline.

How long does a test take?

Several days of continuous measurement in the living space. Short-term tests are what real estate transactions typically use.

Can you do this at the same time as encapsulating?

Yes, and it is usually the sensible sequence. The sealing work overlaps, so doing both together costs less than coming back later and cutting into a finished liner.
