Radon is a colorless, odorless naturally occurring gas, it comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water. Exposure to elevated levels of radon can occur in homes where radon enters through cracks and voids in the foundation. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer, and it is the #1 cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Levels of radon can vary from home to home, neighborhood to neighborhood and county to county.
From the map below, many counties we serve are either in a Zone 1 or 2 which means many of the homes are at risk of having elevated levels of radon. Since we cannot see, smell or taste radon the only way to find out if radon is a concern is to test. The EPA recommends every home be tested for radon. The EPA has set an action level of 4 pCi/L, homes above this level should be mitigated by an Ohio Licensed Radon Mitigation Specialist. The action level is not a safe level, as there are no “safe” levels of radon gas, but even homes that are below 4 pCi/L can takes steps to reduce radon exposure. The EPA recommends homes between 2 and 4 pCi/L consider mitigation.
Testing is the only way to know if radon is a problem in your home, call us today at 419-503-3644 to schedule your radon test.

Mike McDonald2021-12-09Scott's professional assessment allowed me to make informed decision about a property. His reporting is thorough and clear and helped me understand what were large issues and what were small issues. He was there before I got there for an onsite visit and I had the reporting I needed a few hours later. Highly recommended!
julia Catlett2021-09-28Very thorough and even looked at items repeatedly during some inclement weather to confirm findings. Very responsive and professional. The report was easy to read and understand and Scott did a great job walking through property and explaining information. Will use again and would recommend!
Jeff Knox2021-06-12SCOTT PERFORMED A GENERAL HOME INSPECTION AS IM IN PROCESS OF BUYING A HOME. HE ALSO DID A PEST INSPECTION AS WELL. HE DID A GREAT JOB. VERY INFORMATIVE AND TOOK HIS TIME. I HIGHLY RECOMEND SCOTT AND SANDUSKY BAY INSPECTIONS LLC FOR YOUR HOME INSPECTIONS TOO.
Carlene Aldrich2021-02-16Highly recommend !!! Thorough and quick report time.
Daniel Hinman (Mr.H)2020-10-31Best $375 i ever spent. Very good at home inspection. Caught 90% more than i saw. Saved me greatly from buying a house that probably would have went up in flames in a month or 2.
Robb Toft2020-10-21Saved me big money on a home that we almost purchased. Was so pleased with his quality of service, we recommended him to our son for his inspection, my in-laws for their purchase and even a friend of ours to inspect the rental that we were living in that she purchased. Now he will be inspecting our new home build
Trent Robuck2020-10-12Scott at Sandusky Bay Inspections has completed two home inspections for us in the last three years and both experiences were excellent! Scott is extremely thorough, takes his time, and makes sure that as a potential buyer that you are aware of any issues that may come along with your new home purchase. He takes time to explain each finding to make sure you understand the urgency of the issue. He has a keen eye and a wealth of experience that really helps to give you piece of mind when making such a large investment. I would recommend Sandusky Bay Inspections to anyone!
jennie lambert2020-09-29They were honest with me that they were not what I was looking for and I even got a recommendation. We really appreciate his honesty and integrity.
Ziggot3362020-09-02Used this company after making an offer on a home before going through with the purchase. The person, Scott, was very professional and did an awesome job of finding all sorts of things i had missed. Well worth the money spent. Will definitely use this company again.
Tim DeHaven2021-09-07Scott was very professional and thorough in our home inspection. We had detailed reports the same evening.
John Shimp2021-07-28Scott did a great job inspecting the house we ultimately purchased! Very thorough and professional. Every aspect, nook and corner..crawled into the partial crawl space, the attic, everywhere…even inspected the in ground pool, pump and heater! Answered all questions I had. Very detailed report.
Bill Woodmancy2021-04-02Scott & his staff at Sandusky Bay Inspections are the best! From the actual inspection to the customer service reps who answer the phones & schedule the appointments. Every aspect is fantastic! Very friendly & detail oriented. No nook or cranny goes unchecked. They literally inspect everything, big or small. Professionalism at its finest! I would most definitely use his services again & would suggest this company to anyone I know. Legit! A++++
Carlene Aldrich2021-03-07Scott and his team are wonderful! highly recommend this company. he is thorough and responds quickly .
Scott Siesky2020-11-15Sandusky Bay Inspections aided on our home inspection. Scott examined thoroughly the property we sought to purchase. He explained what he found along with providing a detailed report. Great choice and would use his services again.
Rick Henzler2020-08-29VERY thorough and detailed. would definitely use again.
Martyn Drabik-Hamshare2020-07-27Scott provided an excellent service. He was very thorough during his survey, answered all questions we had, and explained many other things in great detail - which is exactly what we wanted as first-time buyers. Further, his report was completed in an amazingly short amount of time, with many photos throughout. While much of the report constituted things that the seller did not need to know about, we are considering the report as a 'To Do List' of minor to mid-level tasks once we move into our new home. Thanks for your excellent work, Scott!
Judy Armstrong Gerlach2020-07-13We could not be more pleased with an inspection and reports as we are with Sandusky Bay Inspections LLC. Since we live 1200 miles away from our intended house we relied on Sandusky Bay Inspections to find anything that they could find that would be hazardous or harmful. The report was so thorough that we could not ask for more. Thank you Scott. We can now move in and know we are safe and secure.
Amy Wittmer2020-04-25He's go's above and beyond
Lisa Balke-Akin2020-04-02Scott and his family are wonderful people. Sometimes it's just as important to know the quality and character of the people behind the company that you're looking at. You wont find a harder and honest person for your inspections.
