Radon Testing

Why Radon Testing Matters

Because radon is tasteless, odorless, and invisible, this radioactive gas is a hidden threat in homes and businesses throughout the United States. There is no geographical area in the U.S. that is exempt from radon exposure, so the only way to know if your home or business has dangerous levels of radon is to test for it.

Radon testing is so critical because of the significant health risks radon exposure presents. According to the EPA, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer among the general public and the first leading cause among nonsmokers.  Learn more about radon from the EPA.

Green Earth Remediation can help you gain peace of mind or understand the next steps necessary for radon mitigation with reliable radon testing services for residential and commercial clients.

How Often Should You Test for Radon?

Radon levels fluctuate through time, so testing just once is not sufficient for assessing your risk of exposure. Homes and businesses should be tested once every 5 years.

When to Test for Radon

Additionally, you should test for radon under the following circumstances:

  • When new occupants are moving into the space.
  • After significant alterations during a remodel or building addition.
  • When the ventilation, insulation, or HVAC system is installed, altered, or repaired.
  • When the structure is being weatherized.


The Importance of Regular Testing

Regular testing for radon is essential for maintaining safe radon levels in your home. Periodic testing ensures that any changes in radon levels are detected early, allowing for timely intervention and safety measures.

Why Radon Levels Might Change Even with a Mitigation System

While radon mitigation systems are highly effective, several factors can cause changes in radon levels over time:

Structural Changes

  • Building Settling: Over time, buildings naturally settle, which can create new cracks or openings in the foundation, allowing more radon to enter.
  • Renovations: Remodeling projects, such as adding new rooms, changing HVAC systems, or altering the building’s structure, can affect radon levels.

 

Environmental Factors

  • Weather Conditions: Heavy rains, snow, and other weather conditions can influence soil moisture and radon levels. For instance, saturated soil can increase radon concentration in the ground air.
  • Seasonal Variations: Radon levels can fluctuate with the seasons, often higher in the winter when homes are sealed tight against the cold, trapping radon indoors.

 

System Wear and Tear

  • System Maintenance: Like any mechanical system, radon mitigation systems require regular maintenance to function optimally. Components like fans can wear out over time and may need replacement.
  • Blockages: The vent pipes used in mitigation systems can sometimes become blocked or damaged, reducing their effectiveness.

 

Ground Shifts

  • Natural Changes: Earthquakes, mining activities, and other geological events can shift the ground, altering the pathways through which radon travels.

 

Ensuring Continued Safety

To ensure that your mitigation system continues to protect you from radon, it’s important to:

  • Schedule regular inspections and maintenance of the mitigation system.
  • Retest radon levels periodically, even after a system is installed, to confirm its ongoing effectiveness.
  • Be vigilant about structural changes and repair any new cracks or openings in the foundation promptly.

 

Ongoing Protection

Regular radon testing is crucial for the safety and well-being of your household or business. By staying vigilant about testing and maintenance, you can protect your property from the dangers of radon exposure. Reach out to Green Earth Remediation for professional radon testing and mitigation services to keep your environment safe and secure.

Types of Radon Testing

There are various types of radon testing, including short and long-term tests. Short-term tests measure radon over a brief period, as little as 48 hours. These tests may be performed with passive testing kits purchased at hardware stores, online, or provided for free in certain states. These kits provide instructions for use and are sent to labs for testing. 

Alternatively, active testing with continuous radon monitors may be performed by professionals like the technicians at Green Earth Remediation. This will be the fastest and most accurate form of testing available.

Long-term testing may be recommended if short-term passive tests indicate higher levels of radon or if you want to assess your home or business’s risk over an extended period. Radon levels tend to be highest during the winter due to the thermal stack effect—cold temperatures increase pressure within the home, drawing more air from the soil and causing higher levels of radon accumulation.

Quality work and quality peopleMatt came out to do an estimate at our home. He was very receptive and listened to my situation and concerns of where to install radon mitigation system. I had an idea of where I wanted the system and we talked about all my concerns - during the process he showed me another installation point that I liked better that I didn't know was possible. William and Joe did the installation a week later. They, too, listened to my requests as a homeowner and installed accordingly. They were nice guys to hang out with while they got the job done in less than 3 hours. Fast, efficient, friendly, and affordable.

Had a test ($119) supplied by Green Earth brought in on Thursday. Monday they read the results and we definitely had elevated levels of radon. Contacted my builder and they paid for the remediation and the test. Green Earth had a cancellation and slotted me in for Tuesday morning. Very happy with the job they did. Would definitely recommend this business.

Family and friends have relied upon Schultz Radon Mitigation (Green Earth Remediation) for years across several properties so we were worried about finding an equally trustworthy company once we bought a home outside of the service area. However, Zach was not deterred by a longer drive to the east side of the state to provide exceptional services. We were in need of quick service as our sump pump needed to be replaced and we needed a radon system installed as heavy rain was looming. Zach was extremely helpful and responsive in explaining our options. Later that week, Zach arrived on time and was exceptionally courteous throughout the installation process. With Zach’s expertise, he made quick work of both installations and cleaned up well.For the exceptional prices and high-quality services, Green Earth Remediation is the place to go. Our home tested above 6 pCi/L before the installation and after it has been reduced to below 0.5 pCI/L. Other companies in our area were only promising to get the reading below the “acceptable level” of 4 pCi/L. The quality of their work speaks for itself.

Radon Testing FAQs 

Radon testing should be performed in homes and businesses every two years. If results are below 4 pCi/L, retesting may occur every 5 years.
It’s a common misconception that radon is only a problem in older homes and buildings. However, radon levels can build up in any indoor space, even if the building is newly constructed or renovated. Before moving in, schedule radon testing to ensure your safety by reducing the risk of radon exposure.
Radon is an invisible, odorless, radioactive gas. The only way to know that indoor radon levels are high in any given space is to perform radon testing. Radon is so dangerous because it is the second most common cause of lung cancer, behind cigarette smoking.
It is possible to test for radon using a DIY radon testing kit purchased online or at a hardware store. These kits are mailed to labs for testing after they have been placed in a home or business for a designated period of time. However, if you need radon testing with rapid results or you want to confirm the results of a self-test kit, calling a professional is recommended.
Short-term radon tests measure radon levels over a period of 2-90 days, while long-term test kits measure radon levels for 90 days or longer. Radon levels fluctuate through time, so the results of a short-term test may not accurately reflect average annual levels of radon in a home or business.
Radon is everywhere, indoors and outdoors. However, indoor spaces can trap radon inside as it breaks down and seeps into homes and buildings via the cracks and holes in the foundation. Any home or building, regardless of its age, location, or size, may have a radon problem. The only way to know for sure is to perform routine radon testing.
Radon levels are not static. They fluctuate due to a variety of environmental conditions, so routine radon testing is necessary to continually manage the risk of radon exposure.
There have been numerous studies both in the U.S. and internationally that have linked radon exposure to an elevated risk of lung cancer. There is no truly safe level of radon, but routine testing and effective mitigation systems can reduce the risk as much as possible.
