WHY TEST FOR RADON?
Radon is the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers — about 21,000 deaths every year in the U.S. — and Pennsylvania is one of the highest-radon states in the country. It’s colorless, odorless, and seeps into homes through foundations, sumps, and well water. The EPA’s guidance is simple: elevated levels have been found in every radon zone, so every home should be tested. And because radon levels rise and fall with temperature,
pressure, and season, a home that tested fine years or months ago can read differently today.
WHY OUR METHOD BEATS THE $15 KIT
Charcoal test kits are cheap for a reason: they’re vulnerable to humidity, sealing errors, and lab shipping delays — and they give you one blended number with no context. Our continuous monitors record conditions hour by hour for the full test period, resist tampering, and produce a defensible result that lenders and realtors accept. When a purchase decision rides on the number, the number has to be right.
RADON QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
How long does a radon test take?
The monitor stays in place a minimum of 48 hours. You’ll typically have your results within 48–72 hours of placement.
What happens if my level is high?
No panic required — elevated radon is fixable. We walk you through your numbers and the mitigation options, so you know exactly what to do next and what to ask a mitigation contractor for.
My neighbor’s test was low. Do I still need one?
Yes. Radon varies house to house — even next door — based on soil, foundation, and construction. The only way to know your home’s level is to test your home.
Do new homes have radon problems too?
They can. Age doesn’t determine radon levels; the ground under the house does. New construction tests high in PA regularly.
