Common Queries About Our Radon Testing Services

Have questions? Here are our most frequently asked questions; feel free to reach out if you need further information.

Radon does not technically “fail” a home inspection in the traditional sense, but elevated results above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L are often flagged as a significant finding. This finding can delay closing, trigger renegotiation, or require the seller to install mitigation before the sale can proceed. The outcome depends on the terms of the purchase agreement and how the buyer and seller choose to handle the issue.

Yes, radon levels are strongly influenced by the geology of an area, with some regions having much higher concentrations of uranium and radium in the underlying rock and soil.

The EPA has created a radon zone map that divides U.S. counties into three categories based on predicted average indoor radon levels. States in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Mountain West regions tend to have higher radon levels, though elevated radon can occur anywhere.

Most radon mitigation systems can be installed in a single day by a certified contractor. The installation process typically involves drilling one or more suction points through the foundation slab, installing PVC piping routed to the exterior of the home, and mounting an inline fan in an attic, garage, or exterior wall. After installation, a post-mitigation test should be conducted within 24 to 30 days to confirm that radon levels have been reduced below 4 pCi/L.

Radon levels can rise again if the mitigation system is turned off, damaged, or fails. A malfunctioning fan is the most common reason for returning elevated levels, which is why visual inspections and annual testing are essential. If post-mitigation testing reveals elevated levels, the contractor should be called to inspect and adjust the system, potentially adding additional suction points or replacing the fan.

When radon decays, it produces radioactive “progeny” or “daughters,” including polonium, lead, and bismuth. These particles attach to dust and other airborne particles, and when inhaled, they deposit directly onto lung tissue. The alpha radiation emitted by these particles damages DNA in lung cells, which over time can lead to mutations and the development of lung cancer.

We pride ourselves on quick response times. Upon contact, our team promptly schedules your radon test, often providing free on-site estimates and phone estimates based on detailed home information.

Yes, properly installed radon mitigation systems are highly effective. Sub-slab depressurization systems routinely reduce radon levels by 50% to 99%, and in many cases can bring levels below 2 pCi/L. Following installation, it is important to test radon levels annually and periodically inspect the fan to ensure the system continues to function as intended.

Radon testing should be conducted in the lowest livable area of your home, as radon concentrations are highest near ground level. If you have a finished basement that you use regularly, test there first. For homes without a usable basement, testing should take place on the first floor, typically in a frequently occupied room like a bedroom or living area.

DIY radon test kits are widely available, inexpensive, and effective when used correctly. These kits are purchased at hardware stores or online, placed in the appropriate area of the home, and then mailed to a certified laboratory for analysis. However, for real estate transactions or if you want a guaranteed accurate reading, hiring a certified radon measurement professional is recommended.
