Residential Radon Testing

Protect Your Home

Protect Your Home and Family with Green Earth Remediation 

Radon is a radioactive gas you can’t see, feel, taste, or smell so testing for it is essential. Having your home tested for radon gas is affordable, the process is simple and quick, and the results can be known in a time frame of just over 48 hours. When it comes to residential radon testing there is nothing to lose, considering there is nothing more priceless than the health of you or your loved ones.

Has your home been tested for radon? All outdoor and indoor air contains some level of radon. There is no level of radon that is considered safe, and no feasible way to completely avoid it. In natural environments, like outside your home, levels of radon on average are typically very low (0.4 – 0.7) and not considered harmful. 

Radon moves naturally through soil into outdoor air and can easily enter and accumulate inside homes. This natural process can result in a health risk when indoor radon levels become elevated. 

Radon gas can only be detected by testing for it, so even high levels of radon gas indoors can remain undetected for years, adding more risk with long term exposure. Anyone can be exposed to this silent killer no matter where they live, regardless of the construction style or age of a home.

At Green Earth Remediation, our mission is to make your environment safer with residential radon testing and custom radon mitigation systems.

Understanding the Importance of Residential Radon Testing 

Radon is such a significant threat because it is a carcinogenic gas estimated to be responsible for 21,000 deaths in the U.S. annually. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer among the general public and the first leading cause among nonsmokers. Reducing your exposure to radon gas begins with knowing if it is prevalent in your environment by scheduling residential radon testing.

Why Radon Testing is Essential

Testing your home for radon is crucial because radon levels can vary significantly from one home to another, even within the same neighborhood. The only way to know if your home has high radon levels is through testing. Radon testing is simple and inexpensive, and it provides peace of mind by identifying a potential health risk.

Health Risks of Radon Exposure

Long-term exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer. According to the EPA, radon is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers and the second leading cause overall. The risk of lung cancer increases with higher levels of radon and longer durations of exposure. Radon can enter homes through cracks in floors and walls, construction joints, and gaps around service pipes.

How to Test for Radon

There are two primary methods for testing radon levels in your home: short-term and long-term tests. Short-term tests take between 2 and 90 days, and they are a quick way to get an initial indication of radon levels. Long-term tests take more than 90 days and provide a more accurate representation of the average radon level over time. 

Interpreting Radon Test Results

Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter (pCi/L). The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if the test results show 4 pCi/L or higher. Even if your radon levels are below this threshold, you may still want to take action to reduce them, especially if the levels are close to 4 pCi/L.

Radon Mitigation Methods

If your home has high radon levels, several mitigation methods can be employed to reduce them:

  • Sub-Slab Depressurization: This is the most common and effective method. It involves installing a pipe and fan system to draw radon from beneath the home and vent it outside.
  • Sealing Cracks and Openings: Sealing cracks and openings in floors and walls can help reduce radon levels but is usually not enough on its own.
  • Improving Ventilation: Increasing the ventilation in your home can help reduce radon levels by diluting the radon gas with fresh air.

Professional Radon Testing and Mitigation Services

Hiring a professional to conduct radon testing and mitigation ensures that the job is done correctly and effectively. Certified radon professionals have the necessary tools and expertise to accurately test radon levels and implement the appropriate mitigation measures.

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.

Residential Radon Testing FAQs 

Radon testing should occur in every home at least once every 5 years. Homes with radon mitigation systems installed should be tested more often at a frequency of once every 2 years. Testing again for radon is recommended when you’re remodeling or adding a home addition, when installing or altering your heating and cooling system, when you’re installing insulation or otherwise weatherizing your home, or when an existing mitigation system is installed or repaired.
There really is no safe level of radon for a home, so the goal of radon mitigation is generally to get the level as low as possible.

Installing a radon mitigation system from an NRPP contractor like Green Earth Remediation can reduce radon levels down to levels that are considered safe, we aim to reduce levels to as low as what radon is found in outdoor air.

These systems are called active soil depressurization systems or also referred to as sub-slab suctions systems. The systems help to draw radon gas away by creating a negative pressure underneath the home’s slab and foundation to reduce indoor radon levels. This is achieved by what is called “PFE” pressure field extension, a fan creates a vacuum in the form of a negative pressure under the house that acts as a greater negative force than the natural negative pressure of a home. The movement of air and negative pressure field under a basement slab that a radon system creates is effective as well as efficient at mitigating even the highest of indoor radon levels.

There are two basic types of radon testing: short-term and long-term. Long-term testing is any test that is conducted 90 days or more, and this type of testing can give you a more comprehensive view of your home’s radon levels while accounting for seasonal and environmental fluctuations.

We advocate for testing during the colder months of the year, which translates into the heating months. Testing for radon in fall, winter, and even early spring is more important, even though testing for radon at any time is still recommended. The greatest factor for why radon levels are higher at certain times of the year is due to what is called, “stack effect.” When we heat our homes the warmer air rises, this combined with the natural pressure differentials created from the ambient air outdoors being colder than the air indoors makes radon gas able to more easily enter homes and accumulate indoors at higher levels in the winter than in the summer.

Residential radon testing should be performed when you move into a new home, but this test will likely be a short-term test that may not show the full picture of radon levels in your home over time. Homeowners should test for radon every 2-5 years, depending on the results of their most recent test and whether a radon mitigation system is already installed.

While some areas may have more radon than others, any home can have high radon levels, even if surrounding homes do not. There are many factors that can influence radon levels in the home, and the only way to know if your home has high indoor radon levels is to test for it.

In most states, you can purchase a residential radon testing kit online or at a local hardware store. Some states have these tests available at no charge. These are typically short-term, passive tests that are mailed in for testing in a lab. However, you may get more accurate and rapid results by contacting a residential radon testing and mitigation contractor like Green Earth Remediation.

There is no truly safe level of radon in the home. However, the EPA has set an “action level” of 4 pCi/L, which is when mitigation is recommended. The goal of radon mitigation is to reduce indoor radon levels to levels comparable with the outdoors.

We recommend residential radon testing during the winter months due to the “stack effect.” When we heat our homes the warmer air rises, this combined with the natural pressure differentials created from the ambient air outdoors being colder than the air indoors makes radon gas able to more easily enter homes and accumulate indoors at higher levels in the winter than in the summer. However, testing at any time is better than not testing at all.
