Learn About Radon TestingBrian Tankersley owns and operates Certified Home Inspection LLC, and he personally performs every inspection. A State of Tennessee Certified Real Estate Inspector (License #1277), he has been certified since 2017 and active in the region's home inspection industry since 2015. His approach is simple: inspect each home with the utmost care, be thorough, and explain everything clearly. Clients consistently say he takes the time to walk them through the home, answer every question, and help them understand what's routine maintenance and what deserves a closer look.
Just as important, Brian keeps things in perspective. As one client put it, he was extremely thorough but "did not instill fear" the way many inspectors seem to. You get an honest, impartial assessment and a detailed report the same day, so you can make your decision with confidence.
"The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of the work that we received. He's a friendly guy and easy to work with and talk to. And while he was extremely thorough, he did not instill fear that many inspectors seemed to want to bring into the process. I would highly recommend him."
"Following the inspection, we received an extremely detailed and easy-to-understand report covering each area of the home, complete with photographs and a helpful color-coded comment system. This made it very easy to distinguish between simple maintenance recommendations and more significant items that might warrant further investigation."
"We've used Brian twice now for home inspections and he's excellent. He's a great educator when it comes to explaining all things home. Very professional and prompt, and saved us from buying a home that would've had very costly repairs."

Yes. The EPA recommends testing every home for radon, no matter where it's located, and homes with elevated levels have been found throughout East Tennessee. Radon has no color or smell, so a test is the only way to know your level. Radon testing can be added to your home inspection.
The EPA recommends fixing a home when the radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher, and considering a fix between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Your radon report will show your home's measured level so you know exactly where it stands.
