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.

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.

Radon levels can vary enormously from one home to the next, even in the same neighborhood. While most homes fall below 4 pCi/L, some structures have been found with levels exceeding 100 pCi/L or more, particularly in areas with high uranium concentrations in the underlying geology. Factors such as foundation type, soil composition, and ventilation all influence how much radon accumulates inside a building.

A sub-slab depressurization system works by inserting a pipe through the concrete slab of a home’s foundation and connecting it to an electric fan. The fan creates negative pressure beneath the slab, drawing radon gas out from the soil before it can enter the living space, and venting it harmlessly above the roofline. This is the most widely used and effective radon mitigation technique for homes built on slabs or with basements.

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.

Before testing, you should maintain “closed-house conditions” for at least 12 hours prior to and during the test. This means keeping windows and doors closed except for normal entry and exit, and not operating fans or ventilation systems that draw outside air into the home. Avoid placing the test device near drafts, exterior walls, or high-humidity areas like bathrooms, as these conditions can affect accuracy.

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, radon levels fluctuate based on several factors, including seasonal changes, barometric pressure, soil moisture, and building conditions. Levels are typically higher in winter when homes are sealed tightly and lower in summer when more ventilation occurs. This is one reason why long-term testing – lasting 90 days or more – provides a more accurate picture of actual exposure than short-term tests.

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.

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.
