Should You Test Your Home for Radon?

Short answer: yes, every home should be tested for radon, because it’s the only way to know your level. Testing is cheap and easy; living with high radon is the expensive part. (Note: we’re a mitigation company that removes high radon. Here’s how testing works so you can get your number.)

Who Should Test?

• Every homeowner, radon doesn’t care how old or new your house is.
• Anyone buying or selling a home (radon is a common part of inspections).
• Homes with a basement or where people spend time on lower levels.
• Anyone who hasn’t tested in the last couple of years.

How to Test for Radon

You have two good options:

• DIY test kit: an inexpensive short-term or long-term kit from a hardware store or online. Place it per the instructions, then mail it to the lab for results.
• Licensed measurement professional: hire a licensed radon measurement pro for a professional test, common during real-estate transactions.

Test in the lowest livable level of your home, keep windows closed during a short-term test, and follow the kit timing. Because levels fluctuate, a long-term test (90+ days) gives the most accurate yearly picture.
