Radon Testing

Why Radon Testing Matters

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that forms naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can permeate into homes through ground cracks, gaps, and openings, accumulating to dangerous levels over time. Since radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States—responsible for thousands of deaths each year—testing your home is essential for your safety.

Many homes across the country have elevated radon levels, with approximately one in fifteen homes affected. Because radon has no smell or color, the only way to determine if your home is at risk is through professional testing. If high levels are detected, taking action promptly can reduce exposure and protect your family’s health.

  • Providing a detailed report with clear explanations of your home's radon levels.

Preparing for Your Radon Test

Before the Inspection:

  • Keep windows and doors closed (except for normal use) for at least 12 hours leading up to and throughout the test to ensure accurate readings.

During the Inspection:

  • Do not move or tamper with the testing equipment.

  • Maintain closed-house conditions for the entire duration of the testing process.

After the Inspection:

  • Carefully review your radon inspection report.

  • If test results are below 2.0 pCi/L its generally accepted as normal conditions and not considered a health hazard to occupants. If test results are between 2.0-4.0 pCi/L it usually requires mitigation but is up to the discretion of the buyer and seller. If test results are above 4.0 pCi/L the Dept. of Environmental Protection strongly recommends mitigation, consult a certified radon mitigation specialist for guidance.

  • Take necessary steps to implement remediation measures promptly to protect your home and health.

We’ll work closely with you ensuring peace of mind during the inspection process.
