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 originates from the natural breakdown of uranium and radium in the earth’s crust. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which then decays into radon gas. This gas migrates upward through soil and rock, and because buildings create a pressure difference with the surrounding ground, radon is naturally drawn into structures through cracks, gaps, and openings in foundations.

Radon is absolutely a concern in schools and other non-residential buildings, as students and employees can spend significant time in these spaces.

The EPA has a specific program called the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools initiative that encourages radon testing in educational facilities. OSHA does not currently regulate radon in the workplace, but the EPA recommends that all schools and large buildings be tested, especially those with basement or ground-floor spaces.

If your test results show levels below 2 pCi/L, no immediate action is needed, though periodic retesting is still recommended. Levels between 2 and 4 pCi/L fall in a gray zone where the EPA suggests considering mitigation, especially for long-term occupants. Results at or above 4 pCi/L call for prompt action, including a follow-up test to confirm and then installation of a radon mitigation system.

Yes, radon can enter a home through water, particularly from private wells that draw from groundwater sources in contact with uranium-bearing rock. When radon-containing water is used for showering, washing dishes, or running faucets, the gas is released into the indoor air.

However, the EPA estimates that waterborne radon contributes far less to overall indoor radon levels than soil gas entry, accounting for only about 1–2% of total indoor radon in most cases.

Children may be at greater risk from radon exposure because they breathe faster than adults, potentially inhaling more radon progeny per unit of body weight. Additionally, children’s lung tissue is still developing, which may make it more susceptible to radiation-induced damage.

While the research is not entirely conclusive, many health experts recommend extra caution in ensuring radon levels are minimized in homes with young children.

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.

Short-term tests measure radon levels over a period of 2 to 90 days, with many charcoal canister tests running for just 2 to 7 days.

Long-term tests measure radon over 90 days or more, typically using alpha track detectors, and provide a more accurate representation of average annual exposure. Short-term tests are useful for quick screening or real estate transactions, while long-term tests give a better picture of ongoing risk.

It’s recommended to hire a certified professional. Improperly installed systems can be ineffective or even counterproductive, potentially drawing in soil gases or creating pressure imbalances. Most states have certified radon mitigation contractors who follow EPA guidelines and can guarantee effective results.

Everyone who spends time in a radon-affected building is at some level of risk, but certain groups face higher health consequences. Smokers who are also exposed to elevated radon face a dramatically higher risk of lung cancer – the combination of tobacco smoke and radon is far more dangerous than either factor alone. Long-term occupants of high-radon homes, particularly those who spend significant time in basements or on ground floors, are also at elevated risk.
