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 is measured in picocuries per liter of air, commonly abbreviated as pCi/L. This unit represents the rate of radioactive decay per liter of air and is the standard measurement used in the United States.

There are no immediate symptoms associated with radon exposure, which makes it particularly dangerous. Radon does not cause coughing, headaches, or any other noticeable physical reaction in the short term. The damage radon causes is cumulative and silent, manifesting only years later as lung cancer – another compelling reason why testing is the only reliable way to assess your risk.

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.

Yes, new homes are not immune to radon – in fact, modern energy-efficient construction with tightly sealed building envelopes can trap radon more effectively than older, draftier homes. Many new homes are now built with radon-resistant new construction (RRNC) features, such as a gas-permeable layer beneath the slab and a passive vent pipe. Even with these features, testing is still recommended after occupancy to confirm radon levels are within acceptable limits.

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.

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.

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.

A radon test measures the concentration of radon gas in a home or building over a specific period of time. Tests can be conducted using passive devices like charcoal canisters or alpha track detectors, or with active electronic monitors. The goal is to determine whether radon levels exceed the EPA’s recommended action level of 4 pCi/L.

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.
