These steps are recommended by the EPA to reduce radon in your home.

STEP #1:

Take 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. A long-term test will give you a better understanding of your year-round average radon level. If you need results quickly, take another short-term test.

STEP #3:

If you followed up with a long-term test – fix your home if results above 4pCi/L or more. Consider fixing your home if the average of your first and second test is 4 pCi/L or higher.

Short Term Tests: $12.95

Short Term Tests offer a quick and inexpensive way to “screen” for radon in your home. These tests do not measure the annual average of radon levels. They are typically left in place for 2 to 7 days. Test less than 48 hours are not valid. Special measures must be taken during a short term test. These conditions,” called “closed-house conditions”, include:

  1. All Doors & Windows must be closed:
  2. Air exchange systems must be turned off (except furnace)
  3. If the test is less than 4 days in length, the house must be under closed-house conditions for 12 hours immediately prior to testing

Long Terms Tests: $25.99

Long Term Tests should be left in place for a minimum of 90 days. Compared to short-term tests, long term tests provide results that more accurately reflect the average amount of radon in your home during the year. The best way to estimate a year-round average is to test for a full year. If a year long test can not be done, the test period should include both heating and cooling seasons.
