Comprehensive Home Inspection Services for Buyers, Sellers and Homeowners

When we talk about indoor air quality, most people think of things like dust, mold, and pet dander. But one of the most serious threats to your home's air is actually something you can't see or smell. It's radon, a naturally occurring gas that can seep into your home from the ground below. Families may be exposed for years without knowing.

Radon is silent, invisible, and dangerous. But here’s the good news: it’s also manageable. Let’s walk through what radon is, how it affects your indoor air, and what you can do to protect your home and health.  

## What Is Radon and Where Does It Come From? 

[Radon is a radioactive gas](https://wini.com/articles/what-is-radon-guide-to-radon-and-radon-testing/) that forms naturally when uranium breaks down in soil and rock. 

Outdoors, it disperses quickly and isn’t usually a problem. Indoors, though, it can get trapped — especially in basements or lower levels — and build up to unsafe levels over time. It typically enters your home through:
 
- Cracks in the foundation
- Gaps around pipes or drains
- Crawl spaces and sump pumps
- Well water in some cases

Every home is different, which means even neighboring homes can have very different radon levels. 

## How Radon Impacts Indoor Air Quality 

Since radon is odorless and invisible, it’s easy to overlook. But it has a major effect on your home’s indoor air quality. The more time you spend in areas with high radon — like basements, home offices, or bedrooms — the more your exposure adds up. 

That’s why radon testing is essential for homeowners, buyers, and even sellers. It’s the only way to know if you have a problem. 

## Health Effects Linked to Radon 

This part might surprise you: radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, right after smoking. [According to the EPA](https://www.epa.gov/radon/health-risk-radon), it’s responsible for tens of thousands of lung cancer deaths each year. 

People who smoke are at greater risk when exposed to radon, and children may also be more vulnerable due to their developing lungs and more rapid breathing.
 
There are no early symptoms of radon exposure. It’s a long-term health risk, which makes proactive testing even more important. 

## Should You Test for Radon 

![Radon Test by WIN Home Inspection](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Radon_Test_by_WIN_Home_Inspection_213ad8c412.png)

Yes, every homeowner should test their home, no matter where they live. While some areas have higher radon levels in the soil, radon can be found in homes across all 50 states. 

Here’s when to consider testing: 

- If your home has never been tested
- Before buying or selling a home
- After major renovations, especially in basements or crawl spaces
- Every two years, even if your home previously tested within safe levels, that could quickly change

Even when radon isn’t a known issue in your area, it's worth getting an expert’s opinion.
 
## How Radon Testing Works 

There are two ways to test for radon: 

1. DIY radon kits: Inexpensive and available at most hardware stores. You leave them in a room for a few days, then mail them to a lab. There are many ways to accidentally tamper with a radon test kit, so read the instructions carefully if you intend to do it yourself or hire a professional.
2. Professional testing: Done by trained inspectors using advanced equipment. It’s more accurate as these monitors tend to be more sensitive. Professional radon testing is often required during real estate transactions.

At WIN Home Inspection, certified local inspectors use cutting-edge tools for fast, reliable radon-testing results. If elevated levels are found, they’ll also walk you through the next steps toward mitigation. 

## Steps To Reduce Radon in Your Home 

If your [radon level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher](https://radon.org/resource/level-of-radon-is-acceptable/), you need mitigation. But even slightly lower levels can still carry risk. 

You can reduce the presence of radon in your home by
- Installing a radon mitigation system: This typically involves a vent pipe and fan that pull radon from under the home and release it outside.
- Sealing cracks and gaps: Helps reduce radon entry points, especially in basements.
- Improving airflow: More ventilation can help lower radon buildup.

Professional [mitigation systems](https://wini.com/articles/what-is-radon-mitigation-system/) are effective and can reduce radon levels by up to 99%. If you have a mitigation installed, retest your home every five years to ensure it’s continuing to work properly and higher than higher-than-safe levels of radon are no longer accumulating in your home.

## Why Trust a Certified Inspector 

Certified radon inspectors are trained to: 

- Use the latest testing equipment
- Understand your home’s structure and airflow
- Provide clear, unbiased guidance
- Help you protect your home and family without upselling

You also get peace of mind knowing the results are accurate and actionable. 

## Final Thoughts 

Because there are no early symptoms, radon is often called a “silent killer.” But with testing, you don’t have to live with uncertainty. Whether you're a new homeowner, planning to sell, or just taking good care of your home, radon testing is a smart step for your health and safety. 

At WIN Home Inspection, we make it easy to take that step with fast, [professional radon testing](https://wini.com/services/radon-test/) that helps you see more clearly and breathe easier. 

Radon and Indoor Air Quality: Health Risks and How to Mitigate

You're not alone if you live in a rural area and rely on well water. Millions of people across the U.S. depend on private wells for their daily water supply. Unlike public water systems, the EPA doesn't monitor private wells in these cases. That means it's up to you to make sure your water is safe. And that's where regular testing comes in. It's not just a precaution; it is a must. 

## Why Testing Your Well Water Matters 

![Why Testing Your Well Water Matters .png](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Why_Testing_Your_Well_Water_Matters_bfda7934cc.png)

Water is something you use every single day. You drink it, cook with it, bathe in it, and if you have pets, you give it to them, too. But if your water isn't clean, it can put your health at risk, causing issues like stomach cramps, skin irritation, or even long-term illnesses. 

### Did you know?

- Around 1.2 trillion gallons of untreated waste pollute the nation's water supply.
- There are 7.15 million cases of waterborne diseases in the U.S. each year.
- Over 50% of rivers and lakes do not meet water quality standards for various uses.

Most contaminants in well water are invisible — you can't see, taste, or smell them. Bacteria like E. coli, high levels of nitrates, or other chemicals and contaminants can all seep into your water, and you would have no idea. That's why regular testing matters. This process helps catch issues early and keeps your water safe. You can also [perform well flow test](https://wini.com/services/well-flow-test/) to ensure a reliable and steady water supply. 

## How Often Should You Test Well Water? 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends testing your well water for bacteria, nitrates, total dissolved solids, and pH levels at least [once a year](https://www.epa.gov/privatewells/protect-your-homes-water). But there are times when more frequent testing makes sense, like: 

- After heavy rain or flooding
- If your water changes in taste, smell, or color
- When someone in your home is pregnant, elderly, or has a weakened immune system

Even if everything seems fine, testing once a year can help keep your household safe. This recommendation remains, even if you have a whole-home filtration system or water filter attachments.

## When Should You Be Concerned About Your Water Quality? 

Here are several indicators that suggest potential water quality issues: 

- Your water smells strange or tastes metallic
- It leaves stains on your sink or tub
- There has been nearby farming or construction
- You or your family members aren't feeling well after drinking the water

Sometimes, it's not obvious, so testing is your best defense. 

## What Should You Test For? 

A basic well water test should check for: 

- Total coliform bacteria
- Nitrates
- pH levels

Depending on where you live, you might also want to test for: 

- Arsenic
- Lead
- Iron or manganese

**Related:** [Home Water Quality Testing – A Guide For Homeowners](https://wini.com/articles/home-water-quality-testing/)

## What About Radon?

Should you test your well water for radon? Yes, especially if you live in an area with high levels. 

Radon is a radioactive gas, and when ingested, it increases the risk of cancer. [The EPA recommends](https://archive.epa.gov/water/archive/web/html/basicinformation-2.html) that well water be tested, as it is not regulated for radon levels. Early detection helps mitigate risk and protect your health. Expert inspectors can perform a comprehensive test to determine the levels of radon present in your home’s water. These experts use specialized equipment and partner with accredited laboratories. Learn more about how WIN can assist with a [Radon-in-Water Test](https://wini.com/services/radon-in-water-test/). 

## How to Test Your Well Water 

Are you wondering how to get started? It's easier than you think. 

- DIY test kits: Simple and affordable, though they may not be as comprehensive and are more prone to inaccuracies. 
- Local health departments: Some offer low-cost or even free testing but may not test for everything you're aiming to check. 
- Certified professionals: Best choice if you want a [detailed and accurate report](https://wini.com/about-win/). Many offer expanded reports or additional testing, like Well Flow Testing and Radon-in-Water Testing, so they can be a one-stop solution for all your water testing needs.

## Well Water Maintenance Tips 

Routine maintenance and well water testing help prevent contamination and system failures while extending the lifespan of your well. A proactive approach allows you to address minor issues before they occur, before costly repairs, and address concerns to protect you and your family from potential health hazards.

Here's how to keep your well in good shape year-round.

- Check the well cap and casing for cracks
- Keep chemicals and fuel far away from the well
- [Maintain your septic system](https://wini.com/services/septic-inspection/)
- Keep a log of test results and maintenance

A little attention goes a long way when it comes to water safety. 

## Does Homeowner's Insurance Cover Well Issues?

Homeowners' insurance usually covers damage to the well. For example, if damage occurs during a fire or storm. However, water quality issues are not typically covered. That's why staying on top of testing and maintenance is so important. 

## Book an Inspection 

Having your own well gives you independence, but also comes with responsibility. You're in charge of making sure your water is clean and safe. That means testing it regularly, staying alert to changes, and knowing when to call in a professional. 
If you've never had your water tested or it's been a while, contact WIN Home Inspection to [book a water testing today](https://wini.com/services/water-quality-test/)!

Why Well Water Testing Is Essential for Rural Homeowners

Buying a brand-new home can feel like a dream. Everything is shiny, untouched, and freshly built. What could possibly go wrong? 

As surprising as it may sound, new homes often come with their fair share of issues. In fact, over 50% of new construction home buyers find issues with their new home after moving in. While issues can be minor cosmetic defects (like missing fixtures or dented appliances), they can also be more serious construction faults (like electrical miswiring or unconnected lines). Many homeowners also find [plumbing issues](https://wini.com/articles/common-plumbing-issues-in-homes/) because gravel, dirt, and debris have made their way into the sewer pipes. That’s why you need to know when to schedule a home inspection.

## Do You Really Need an Inspection for a Brand-New Home? 

You absolutely need an inspection for brand-new homes. Your builder may have followed code and completed internal inspections, but that doesn’t always mean they caught every problem. Construction crews often change and work under tight deadlines, so they could accidentally overlook things. 

A third-party home inspection brings in a fresh set of unbiased eyes, helping you spot potential problems before they become costly repairs. While builders may insist you don’t need an outside inspector, this can be a major red flag. Even brand-new cars are inspected by someone other than the manufacturer to ensure quality and safety. 

Curious about what’s typically included in the inspection process? Check out our article on [New Construction Home Inspections](https://wini.com/articles/new-construction-inspection/). 

## 3 Key Times To Schedule a Home Inspection for New Construction 

There are three critical opportunities for inspection during the building process. Let’s walk through each one. 

### Pre-Drywall Inspection (Before Insulation and Sheetrock) 

![An electrical box in a house](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Pre_Drywall_Inspection_119069d348.jpeg)

The [pre-drywall inspection](https://wini.com/services/pre-drywall-inspection/) takes place after the framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems are installed, but before walls are sealed up.

The process involves: 

- Checking for framing accuracy – Ensures walls, beams, and supports are aligned and structurally sound.
- Verifying proper system installation – Helps catch misrouted wires, leaky pipes, or poor ductwork before they get covered.
- Highlighting future problem areas – Prevents costly fixes later by addressing issues while access is still easy.

### Final Inspection (Before Final Walkthrough or Closing) 

![Understanding Winter Home Inspections](https://d2nnm6ppct4rc3.cloudfront.net/Understanding_Winter_Home_Inspections_93c458fa90.png)

The [final inspection](https://wini.com/services/home-inspection/) makes sure everything works as expected before you take ownership of the home. You should schedule it shortly after your builder finishes construction.

The final inspection includes:

- Confirming livability and safety – Inspects HVAC, electrical, roofing, plumbing, and appliances to ensure they're working correctly.
- Identifying cosmetic and functional issues – Catches things like cracked tiles, sticky doors, and poor caulking that may need touch-ups.
- Providing a punch list for the builder – Gives you time to request fixes before closing day.

### One-Year Warranty Inspection (Before Builder Warranty Expires) 

The [one-year warranty inspection](https://wini.com/services/one-year-warranty-inspection/) is typically done around the 11-month mark to catch any issues that develop before your builder’s warranty expires. 

A good one-year warranty inspection should:

- Detect settling and wear issues – Looks for cracks, drainage problems, and shifting that happens over time.
- Ensure long-term systems function properly – Rechecks insulation, HVAC, plumbing, and ventilation after months of use.
- Maximize your warranty coverage – Helps you get needed repairs while they’re still covered by the builder.

**Pro Tip:** This is your last chance to request repairs under warranty, so don’t skip it! 

## What a Home Inspector Looks for During These Stages 

At WIN Home Inspection, we use specialized tools like infrared (IR) cameras, moisture meters, and drones to uncover problems that might not be visible to the naked eye. 

### Our 300+ Point Check covers: 

- Structural elements (foundation, framing)
- Roofing and gutters
- Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems
- Attic and insulation
- Grading and drainage
- Appliances and fixtures

## Why the Timing Matters (and Who It Helps) 

The right timing of these inspections protects you, your home, and everyone involved in the transaction. Here's how: 

- Homebuyers: Catch issues early to avoid surprises and costly, time-consuming repairs.
- Real estate agents: It helps ensure a smooth transaction and satisfied clients when it’s all said and done.
- Builders: They get the chance to fix things while they’re still under their scope, saving reputational risk and reducing future complaints.

## What Happens If the Inspector Finds Something? 

Don’t panic. It’s common to find issues with new construction. Luckily, those issues are usually fixable. Your inspection report will outline the concerns with a detailed explanation and include images. 

With WIN Home Inspection, you can also use the Property Care List (PCL) to organize items into “Repair,” “Replace,” and “Credit,” making communication with your builder much easier. 

## Final Thoughts: Building Confidence in Your New Home 

A home inspection for new construction isn’t about finding flaws; it’s about building confidence. When you get inspections at the right stages, you protect your investment and make sure your dream home doesn’t turn into a nightmare. 

Whether you’re just starting the construction process or getting ready to close, schedule your inspections strategically. Remember that a [WIN Home Inspector near you](https://wini.com/) can guide you through every phase to provide Actionable Insights for Every Home®. 

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

**1. Can new construction homes really have defects or impurities?**

Absolutely. Construction can leave some unresolved issues like drywall dust, paint overspray, construction debris in ventilation systems, and water intrusion. A professional inspection identifies these defects so you can correct them before they turn into long-term, more expensive problems. 

**2. What are some common myths about inspecting new build homes?** 

One common myth is that inspections are unnecessary because the home has passed local building codes. Code inspections primarily focus on basic compliance and safety standards instead of quality workmanship. Code inspections will ensure the staircase is built to the right height and specifications, but they will not check if appliances are in acceptable condition or if there is damage around the property.

Another myth is that builders will fix everything that’s under warranty. In reality, some issues might not become apparent until after your warranty expires. Getting early inspections makes it easier to identify and address those potential issues before warranties expire. 

**3. What if my builder won’t let me get a third-party inspection?** 

Reputable builders typically encourage third-party inspections. If your builder resists, clarify your contractual rights first. Most contracts allow buyers to have third-party inspections at key stages of the process. If your builder refuses, this is a red flag, and you should express your concerns clearly. Builders who are proud of their craftsmanship and quality should have no issue allowing an inspector to check the home. You may consider asking your real estate agent or legal counsel for advice. Remember that transparency benefits everyone. Inspections protect the buyer’s interests and the builder’s reputation. 

**4. Is a new construction inspection expensive?** 

New construction inspections typically cost the same as a home inspection for existing homes, and it’s certainly not expensive compared to potential future repair costs. Home inspections are a cost-effective way to identify and resolve issues early, so they could potentially save you thousands in unexpected repairs.  

**5. Should I trust the inspection conducted by the builder’s inspector?** 

Builder-conducted inspections focus primarily on compliance and basic safety. A third-party inspection is unbiased and comprehensive, often identifying overlooked issues. Hiring a professional inspector means you get a thorough assessment without any bias. 


When To Schedule a Home Inspection for New Construction

Barbeque is a great way to gather around friends and family during summer time! This can be a lot of fun, but it's important to take care when grilling to avoid accidents. These safety tips are designed to help keep your barbecues safe and enjoyable all summer long. So, fire up the grill and get cooking!

## Clean Your Grill

As you cook, heavy grease builds up on your grill. This grease is highly flammable, and too much of it can quickly start a fire. Clean your grill regularly to prevent grease buildup with these easy steps. 

- Remove all parts and accessories from the grill. 
- Spray them with a food-safe kitchen degreaser and scrub clean with a rag or sponge. 
- Scrape the grill with a wire brush or putty knife to rid the grill of caked-on food or grease.
- Reassemble the grill and turn it on to high heat to burn off any residue.

## Test Your Grill for Leaks 

It is recommended to test propane grills for leaks at least once a year. To do this, brush dish soap and water on the tank and gas line connections, then press the accelerator. If you see bubbles, you have a gas leak! Turn off the gas and tighten the connections to your propane tank. Allow 5 to 10 minutes for the gas to dissipate before testing the grill again.

## Avoid Wearing Loose Clothing 

While clothing catching fire may sound like a freak accident, it’s more common than you might think. You may not even realize your clothes are on fire until it's too late! To reduce the risk of catching fire, wear form-fitting clothing and securely fasten your hair. If you need to remove any loose clothing, keep it away from the grill. Discarded clothing left unattended for an extended period of time can catch fire. 

## Purchase Grilling Gloves and Appropriate Cooking Utensils

Grills generate a lot of heat, so having the right utensils and equipment is essential. Avoid handling food directly on the grill as much as possible. Invest in a pair of grilling gloves, tongs or other grilling utensils if you'll be handling hot pans or food. 

## Stock Up on Baking Soda and a Fire Extinguisher 

Grills can get as hot as, or hotter, than an oven. Be proactive and prepared to extinguish a fire should one occur. We recommend keeping baking soda close to your grill station in the event of a fire. If the fire is too large to put out with baking soda, use a fire extinguisher. Never use water to extinguish a fire. It could spread the fire or splash hot grease, oil, or coal, which is dangerous.

- **Take the Appropriate Safety Precautions:** Gas and propane grills can typically reach temperatures up to 550° F, while charcoal grills can reach temperatures up to 700° F. 
- **Three-foot rule:** Make sure your grill is at least three feet away from anything that could be flammable such as your deck, outdoor furniture, and trees. The heat from your grill can also melt and warp vinyl siding, so don’t keep your grill too close to your home.
- **Keep the grill outside:** Grilling in closed or poorly ventilated areas is not only a fire risk, but also a health risk as fires produce carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. To keep you and your family safe, know the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning prior to lighting up your grill and always grill in a well-ventilated area. 
- **Keep it level:** Do not use your grill on an incline or on uneven ground as it could topple over and cause a fire. 
- **Watch the grill carefully:** A lit grill should never be left unattended as food could burn, grease could build up and a fire could start. 
- **Keep children and pets away from the grill:** Never leave a grill unattended, especially if children or pets are around. Do not move a lit grill: Moving a lit grill can not only risk burning yourself or others, but also increase the risk of fire and dislodge important grill parts. 

## Do Not Overcrowd the Grill

Overcrowding the grill can cause your food to cook unevenly and become greasy.  Allow at least an inch of space in between to keep the grease and smoke to a minimum. 

## Turn Off the Grill After Use 

It's easy to become distracted while cooking, especially if you're entertaining friends or family.  Be sure to turn off the grill and thoroughly inspect your grilling station immediately after you’re finished cooking to reduce safety hazards.  

Know How to Put Out a Grill Fire: Whether brought on by a broken gas line, an accidental spark, or just too much heat, a grill fire may spread quickly and become dangerous. However, always stay calm and follow these steps:  

### Eliminate the fire hazard

Turn off the grill's gas supply immediately. If your grill runs on propane, switch off the valve on the propane tank. If you have a charcoal grill, wear heat-resistant gloves and use steel grilling equipment to remove the fire hazard. While you should never pour water directly onto a hot grill, you can use water to hasten the cooling process. Remove the coal and ashes safely and place them in a metal bucket with water. 

### Use a cover that can withstand fire

Cover the grill with a fire-resistant cover after the gas has been turned off or the affected coals have been removed. The flames will be smothered, and oxygen won't be able to reach them. In a pinch, a large pot lid or baking sheet will do.  

### Let the grill cool down

Before opening the lid, let the grill cool completely. Then you can look for damage and make any required repairs. With these easy steps, you can put out a barbecue fire quickly and safely. Remember, never put out a fire with water.
