"Working with Sandy was a pleasure!"
"Working with Sandy was a pleasure! A lean, active market, like Larchmont, can make buying a home a nerve wracking experience (especially when relocating from out of state!) but with Sandy guiding us, we were able to find the perfect home for our family with ease. Sandy was always available to answer our calls and attentive to every detail of the purchase of our home. Her knowledge of Larchmont and ties to the community made her an invaluable asset, we found her insights to be quite helpful. We feel fortunate to have found Sandy and recommend her with great confidence."
H & K. M, Larchmont

Radon >Detecting Elevated Radon Levels
Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, radioactive gas that can pose a serious health risk if it becomes trapped under your house. Radon typically enters the home via underground crawl spaces, sump pumps, gaps in the basement and even the water supply. It can pollute your indoor air with its toxic vapors, and is held responsible for more than 20,000 lung-disease-related deaths every year. Radon is assumed to be present in millions of American homes.
How do you detect the presence of radon gas, and how can you reduce its presence and influence if it is found in your home? First, have your home tested by a professional. Many contractors are licensed or certified by state and/or local agencies. They will conduct diagnostic testing to determine if radon gas is at acceptable levels. If levels are dangerous, the contractor can install a radon reduction system. Ask the contractor for references documenting the results of past work in other homes. Make sure the company checks the house after the system is installed, to verify that it is reducing the radon levels.
