Pam – Thanks for the compliment on my Massachusetts Real Estate blog! It is always interesting to me how different areas of the country can vary on what types of inspections that are conducted in a home sale. Your comment about people not testing for radon is surprising because it can be anywhere.

Bill-I came over here from searching on Active Rain for info on the WordPress Thesis theme. Your blog looks great.

I live in a rural area so many of our homes are serviced by private wells. The county health department comes out and takes a water sample, then sends it off to a lab in Jackson (state capital). Radon is not common here. I have heard of one time where a buyer wanted a test. The agent had a very hard time finding someone who was qualfied to do the testing.

This is an excellent and thorough discussion of how to check out the water supply when buying a house. Just about everything I sell is on a public water supply but I’m going to bookmark this post as a reference for buyers interested in a house with a well. Thanks!
