What Is Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. In some homes, it can collect indoors. A professional test provides a clear picture of the level in the living space.

How Testing Works

A calibrated monitoring device is placed in the lowest lived-in level of the home, where it measures radon concentration over a defined period.

Testing is conducted under closed-house conditions to ensure consistent and reliable results. Once complete, the data is analyzed and provided in a clear written report.

Why Choose Professional Testing?

Our professional testing service provides more than just a radon reading. We ensure the monitor is placed in the optimal location, verify that testing conditions meet industry guidelines, review the collected data, and provide a comprehensive written report with clear recommendations based on the results.

Professional testing also gives you a knowledgeable point of contact to answer questions, interpret the results, and discuss appropriate next steps if elevated radon levels are identified.

Testing Options

Short-Term Diagnostic (48–96 hours):

  • Used to identify elevated levels and determine if further action is required.

Long-Term Measurement (90+ days):

  • Provides a more accurate representation of average annual exposure and is used for confirmation when needed.

Short-Term Diagnostic Test — Request a Quote

  • Includes professional setup and retrieval of the monitoring device, data analysis, and a comprehensive written report with clear results and recommendations.

Long-Term Confirmation Test — Request a Quote

  • Includes professional device deployment, retrieval, laboratory analysis, and a written report with your home's average radon level and guidance on whether further action is recommended.

Reporting

Each test includes a clear written report with the measured radon result, testing details, and guidance on whether no action, follow-up testing, or mitigation should be considered.

When a Long-Term is Needed

Long-term testing is recommended when confirmation of average exposure is important, when a short-term result needs follow-up, or when a more representative measurement is preferred for decision-making.
