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.

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.

Radon can be a concern in apartments, particularly those on lower floors or at ground level. Units above the third floor generally have lower risk because they are farther from the source of radon in the soil. Tenants on the first or second floor, especially those with direct contact with a basement or slab foundation, should consider testing if their landlord has not already done so.

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 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.

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without specialized testing equipment. Radon is classified as a noble gas, meaning it does not chemically bond with other elements, which allows it to move freely through soil and building materials into indoor spaces.

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 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.

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.

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.
