Radon
Michael R. Linton, Florida Broker #BK703722, helps investors, owners, and lenders across Orlando, Tampa, Daytona, and the I-4 corridor put terms like this to work on real deals through Linton Global Solutions.
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil and rock, which can accumulate in buildings.
Long-term exposure to elevated radon is a recognized health risk, so testing is common in due diligence.
Florida
Florida law requires a radon disclosure in contracts for the sale and lease of buildings under section 404.056, Florida Statutes. The EPA recommends action when indoor levels are at or above 4 pCi/L.
Mitigation
Testing is inexpensive, and mitigation systems, typically sub-slab depressurization, can lower levels. See due diligence.
A Hypothetical Example
A buyer of a small Orlando office building runs a 48-hour radon test during its inspection period, with results above the EPA's 4 pCi/L action level. A contractor installs a sub-slab mitigation system for about $3,500, a follow-up test shows levels below 2 pCi/L, and the buyer closes. Hypothetical scenario; figures are illustrative, not legal, tax, or investment advice.
From the Desk
Radon testing costs little and answers a real question. Do it during the inspection period.
