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.

If a short-term test returns elevated results, the EPA recommends conducting a second test before taking action – unless the initial result was 10 pCi/L or higher, in which case you should move directly to mitigation.

A follow-up test can be either another short-term test or a longer-term test to confirm the finding. Once elevated levels are confirmed, consulting with a certified radon mitigation contractor is the appropriate next step.

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.

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 exists in virtually every part of the world at some level, as uranium is present in varying concentrations throughout the earth’s crust. Outdoor radon levels are generally very low and considered harmless because the gas disperses quickly into the open air. However, indoor radon levels can accumulate to dangerous concentrations depending on local geology, building construction, and ventilation.

A continuous electronic radon monitor is an active device that measures and records radon levels in real time throughout the testing period. These devices are typically used by certified radon professionals during real estate transactions because they detect any tampering or unusual conditions that might compromise results. While they provide detailed data and faster results, they are more expensive than passive testing methods.

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.

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.

Radon testing is strongly recommended as part of any home purchase and is required by law in some states. Buyers should request radon testing during the inspection period, as elevated levels can be a negotiating factor and should be disclosed by sellers in many jurisdictions. Discovering and addressing a radon problem before closing protects both the buyer’s health and their financial investment.

Radon mitigation systems require minimal maintenance, but periodic checks are important to ensure they are operating correctly. You should visually inspect the system regularly to confirm the fan is running, and most systems include a manometer or visual indicator that shows whether suction is being maintained. Annual radon testing is strongly recommended to verify that the system continues to keep levels below the EPA action level.
