Radon Testing

Why Radon Testing Matters

Radon is an invisible, odorless gas that forms naturally from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It can permeate into homes through ground cracks, gaps, and openings, accumulating to dangerous levels over time. Since radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States—responsible for thousands of deaths each year—testing your home is essential for your safety.

Radon levels can vary from one home to another, even between neighboring properties. Testing is the only way to determine the radon level in your home. Homeowners can use a suitable test kit or hire a certified radon measurement professional. If elevated levels are found, mitigation can reduce exposure.

Our Professional Radon Testing Process

Our radon testing service measures indoor radon levels and provides a report to help you understand the results. Our process includes:

  • Placing testing devices in the lowest livable area of your home for a minimum of 48 hours.

  • Samples are sent to a certified lab for analysis and results are available within 2-5 business days.

  • Providing a detailed report with clear explanations of your home's radon levels.

Preparing for Your Radon Test

Before the Inspection:

  • Keep windows and doors closed (except for normal use) for at least 12 hours leading up to and throughout the test to ensure accurate readings.

During the Inspection:

  • Do not move or tamper with the testing equipment.

  • Maintain closed-house conditions for the entire duration of the testing process.

After the Inspection:

  • Review your report for the measured radon level and any recommended follow-up testing.

  • EPA recommends mitigation when the radon level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher. For levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L, consider mitigation to reduce exposure.

  • There is no known safe level of radon exposure. A result below 2.0 pCi/L does not mean there is no risk. Consult a New Jersey-certified radon mitigation professional about elevated results and appropriate next steps.
