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 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.

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.

Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for approximately 21,000 deaths per year according to the EPA. When radon gas is inhaled, it decays into radioactive particles that can become trapped in the lungs, where they emit radiation that damages lung tissue over time. The risk increases significantly with long-term exposure to elevated radon levels, particularly in enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces.

Most radon mitigation systems can be installed in a single day by a certified contractor. The installation process typically involves drilling one or more suction points through the foundation slab, installing PVC piping routed to the exterior of the home, and mounting an inline fan in an attic, garage, or exterior wall. After installation, a post-mitigation test should be conducted within 24 to 30 days to confirm that radon levels have been reduced below 4 pCi/L.

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.

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.

Yes, properly installed radon mitigation systems are highly effective. Sub-slab depressurization systems routinely reduce radon levels by 50% to 99%, and in many cases can bring levels below 2 pCi/L. Following installation, it is important to test radon levels annually and periodically inspect the fan to ensure the system continues to function as intended.

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.
