Radon Testing
Why Testing is So Important
Securing your family's safety should always be a top priority. Among the hidden risks, radon gas poses a significant threat—an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas capable of infiltrating homes unnoticed. Formed naturally from uranium breakdown in soil and rocks, radon, a radioactive gas, can lead to severe health issues, notably lung cancer upon inhalation. Professional testing is the sole way to determine if your home harbors dangerous radon levels. Engaging professional radon testing services becomes crucial to safeguard your home and loved ones from this unseen menace. This article delves into the importance of radon testing and the advantages of hiring experts to ensure your home's and family's safety.
Testing Process
Step 1. Test your home using a short-term test. If your result is 4 pCi/L or higher, take a follow-up test (Step 2) to be sure.
Step 2. Follow up with either a long-term test or a second short-term test:
For a better understanding of your year-round average radon level, take a long-term test. If you need results quickly, take a second short-term test.
Note: The higher your initial short-term test result, the more certain you can be that you should take another short-term test rather than a long-term follow up test. If your first short-term test result is more than twice EPA’s 4 pCi/L action level, you should take a second short-term test immediately.
Step 3. If you followed up with a long-term test: Fix your home if your long-term test result is 4.0 pCi/L or more.
If you followed up with a second short-term test: The higher your short-term results, the more certain you can be that you should fix your home. Fix your home if the average of your first and second test is 4 pCi/L or higher. Many homes can be mitigated to 2 pCi/L or lower, consider fixing your home if the levels are 2-4 pCi/L.
