Radon Testing Questions
Get answers to common questions about radon testing and results.
When should I test my home for radon?
You should test immediately if you haven’t recently. The EPA recommends testing every two years, regardless of past results. It is also vital to retest after any home renovations, foundation repairs, or changes to your ventilation system. Testing during colder months when windows remain closed often yields the most accurate data.
What’s the difference between short-term & long-term radon testing?
Short-term tests run for two to seven days, offering a quick snapshot ideal for time-sensitive real estate transactions. Long-term tests last over 90 days, capturing seasonal fluctuations to provide a comprehensive year-round average of exposure. Both methods are valuable, depending on whether you need immediate results or long-term data.
Should I test for radon before buying or selling a home?
Yes, absolutely. Radon testing is a critical step in real estate transactions. Sellers should test to resolve issues early and avoid closing delays. Buyers must insist on a test to ensure they aren’t purchasing a home with dangerous air quality. Fixing high levels is a standard, negotiable part of the process.
Can I do a radon test myself, or should I hire a professional?
While DIY kits are available, they are prone to user error during placement or shipping. Hiring a professional ensures the test follows strict protocols, uses calibrated continuous monitors, and provides immediate, unbiased results. For real estate transactions, a professional test is almost always required to ensure accuracy and liability protection.
What is considered a high radon level?
The EPA establishes the action level at 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). If your home tests at or above this concentration, you should install a mitigation system. However, the World Health Organization recommends action at 2.7 pCi/L, and the EPA also suggests considering reduction methods for levels between 2.0 and 4.0.system actually increases marketability by demonstrating that radon has been properly addressed.
What happens if my radon test results come back high?
Don’t panic. High radon levels are a fixable problem. If results are elevated, we will install a mitigation system tailored to your home. This system redirects gas from beneath your foundation to the outside air, effectively reducing indoor concentrations to safer levels quickly, reliably, and affordably.
