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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Radon mitigation refers to any process used to reduce elevated radon levels in a building to an acceptable concentration. The most common and effective method is sub-slab depressurization (SSD), which uses a pipe and fan system to draw radon from beneath the foundation and vent it safely outside. Mitigation systems are highly effective and can reduce indoor radon levels by up to 99% in many cases.

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.

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.

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 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.
