What is Radon Testing?
Radon testing measures the concentration of radon, a radioactive gas that naturally occurs from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. Because this invisible, odorless gas can enter homes through foundation cracks and openings — and is a leading cause of lung cancer — professional testing is essential for your home's safety.

Frequently asked questions
What radon level is considered high?
The EPA recommends fixing your home if radon is 4 pCi/L or higher, and considering mitigation between 2 and 4 pCi/L.
How long does a radon test take?
Our continuous monitors run for a minimum of 48 hours under closed-house conditions, then we analyze and explain the results.
Do newer homes need radon testing?
