What is Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has no smell, color, or taste. It's produced from the natural radioactive decay of uranium found in nearly all rocks and soils. Radon gas moves up through the ground and can enter buildings through cracks and openings in foundations.

Once inside, radon can accumulate to dangerous levels. When you breathe air containing radon, radioactive particles can get trapped in your lungs, damaging lung tissue and potentially causing lung cancer over time.

How Radon Enters Your Home

Cracks in concrete slabs and foundation walls

Construction joints and floor drains

Gaps around service pipes and wiring

Crawl spaces and dirt floors

Well water (less common)

Building materials (rare)

Sump pump pits and openings

Unsealed utility penetrations

Our Testing Process

1. Pre-Test Consultation

We review the characteristics of your building and explain the testing process, helping you prepare the property for an accurate test.

2. Monitor Placement

We place EPA-approved radon monitors in the lowest livable level of the building, following strict protocols.

3. 48-Hour Testing Period

Our monitors collect data for a minimum of 48 hours to ensure accurate measurements.

4. Data Analysis

The collected data is analyzed and the average radon concentration is calculated.

5. Results & Recommendations

You receive a detailed report with your results and recommendations for mitigation if levels exceed EPA action guidelines.

Day Care Center & School Testing

For New Jersey day care centers and schools, we follow strict protocols approved by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. We understand the importance of protecting children's health and provide comprehensive testing for all occupied areas, ensuring compliance with state requirements for educational facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does radon testing take?

Testing requires a minimum of 48 hours for accurate results. We typically schedule 72-hour tests to ensure reliability and account for any variations.

Should I test if my neighbor has low radon?

Yes! Radon levels can vary dramatically even between adjacent properties due to differences in soil, construction, and ventilation.

What happens if my radon levels are high?

If levels are 4 pCi/L or higher, we recommend radon mitigation. We can connect you with certified mitigation professionals who can reduce levels by 90% or more.

How much does radon testing cost?

Our professional radon testing is competitively priced and varies based on your home size and location. Contact us for a free quote.

Can I stay in my home during testing?

Yes, you can remain in your home, but we ask that you maintain closed-house conditions (windows and doors closed except for normal entry/exit).

When should I test for radon?

Test before buying a home, after any structural changes, every 2 years in general, and immediately if you have a basement or spend significant time in lower levels.
