Radon Testing

Radon testing services are designed to measure the levels of radon gas, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, within properties. Radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas, making it undetectable without proper testing. It is a leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, according to health authorities. These testing services are particularly important in areas known for elevated radon levels, during real estate transactions, or as a proactive measure for occupant safety. Our adon testing services provide critical information to determine if mitigation is necessary to reduce health risks and ensure a safe indoor environment.

The radon testing process involves deploying devices to measure radon concentrations over a specific period, typically ranging from a few days to several months. Short-term tests can last 2-7 days, while long-term tests can span 90 days or more, and provide a more accurate average of radon levels by accounting for seasonal variations.

After the testing period, the devices are analyzed by a certified laboratory, and a report is generated detailing the radon concentration in picocuries per liter (pCi/L), with levels at or above 4 pCi/L typically prompting mitigation recommendations.
