Maine Radon Testing

Radon is not something to be take lightly. Radon in your home can cause serious damage to your lungs and body. Statistically, radon causes more than 100 times more deaths than carbon monoxide poisoning. That is why Maine Radon Testing is so important for those who are unsure or think they are at risk. Every home owner should know if their properties air or water is being effected by radon. Fortunately, Maine Radon Pro is here for you to call and schedule a test, and if extensive radon is found, they can help you remedy the situation.

Maine Radon Testing Is Important!

Just having 4 pCi/L’s (picocuries per liter) is the equivelant of smoking 8 cigarettes a day. Smokers aer particularly susceptible to Radon, as it greatly effects the lungs the most. People living in high-radon areas are strongly encouraged not to smoke cigarettes. Radon in the air of your home is something that most home owners can test for themselves, they simply must pick up a test kit (which Maine Radon Pro have in stock). However, when it comes to radon in your water, the smartest thing to do is simply call Maine Radon Pro to come out and test for you. Radon water testing is very rigorous and difficult. If not done correctly the results are unreliable and thus a high risk of being incorrect. This may leave you susceptible to more radon than you think you are exposed to.

Be Smart & Safe

In Maine, most radon testing is done when a home or property is being sold. Maine Buyers and Sellers should be aware that only licensed, radon testing trained inspector can legally test for radon as part of a purchase and sale contingencies. Your real estate agent is generally not qualified for this. Protect yourself and your family by ensuring the radon testing is done by a qualified professional. Contact Maine Radon Pro for your radon testing today!

HMPE is High Modulus Polyethylene, also known as Ultrahigh Molecular Weight PolyEthylene (UHMWPE). It has become an increasingly popular material for rope as it is very durable and has a high performance range. It is also the most forgiving high-modulus fiber rope, with improved sheave cycling when compared to other fibers.

It has the advantage of having long molecular chains which transfer loads more effectively. Dyneema has a tensile strength of up to 43cN/ctex, which is 15 times stronger than steel of the same weight.

There are many reasons to have permanent make up done to yourself, and it’s becoming more and more popular!

Permanent Eyebrows and Microblading

What is this process? Adding individual hair strokes, with options to add dimension, color depth with shading and powder-color application. When your eyebrows are just right, it brightens up your entire face, giving you a rested, attractive and feminine look.

Why Get Permanent Eyebrows?

There are a number of reasons to get permanent makeup on yourself. The most obvious is the time it saves from standing in front of a mirror every morning or night before going out. Another is having a busy lifestyle and not wanting to take that time at all, so you just don’t use makeup. Being very physically active is another reason as sweat and motion can ruin the work you’ve done. A more overlooked reason is because your hair may be thinning, or maybe you want your eyebrows to be more symmetrical. Believe it or not these are very normal and common reasons!

Flavored Coffee

Ever since I got a coffee maker that grinds before brewing I have had a hard time finding good flavored coffee that comes in whole bean form. That’s why I was thrilled to find a company called It’s Been Smithed. They’re a Maine coffee company that roasts your coffee moments before packaging it. Not only are their flavors amazing and there’s a large variety. Each of their flavored coffees are also offer in different sizes, forms and grinds. They are most certainly the first coffee company that I’ve come across that offers their product in so many different ways.

For their Flavored Coffee line, each coffee starts out with a base of medium Colombian Supremo. One of the best things, I think, is that there is no sugar added! The only sugars in It’s Been Smithed’s coffee is the naturally occurring in the coffee beans themselves. Some of their Flavored Coffees offered have an alcoholic taste. For example their Jamaican Me Crazy! coffee has flavors of caramel, vanilla and kahlua! Another amazing flavor is the Almond Amaretto which is described as sweet, nutty with almond liquor. So if you’ve been on the hunt for some boozy flavored coffee, It’s Been Smithed has got you covered! Not to worry, if you’re not a fan of boozy coffee there are a number of other flavors to choose from. Just to name a few of my favorites are chocolate peanut butter, hazelnut toffee, blueberry cinnamon crumble, caramel apple and many more!

If you’re a coffee lover like me, I highly recommend checking out It’s Been Smithed. What really sets them apart isn’t just all the flavors offered. They also roast each order, meaning that your coffee will be as fresh as possible by the time it reaches you. I present you with the challenge of finding a local Maine coffee company that offers fresher coffee with more options.
