Rhode Island has 5 counties and 2 (40%) have been assigned Zone 1 counties by the EPA. Zone 1 counties have the highest potential to have homes test higher than 4 pCi/L.

Rhode Island Radon Real Estate Requirements

Does the state of Rhode Island require radon testing for all real estate transactions? No

However both the state of Rhode Island and the EPA recommend that a home or residence should be tested before a real estate transaction is carried out. Even though Rhode Island does not require radon testing, we certainly recommend you have a test performed before you purchase a home. If you decide to perform a test after and find elevated levels, there is no reason to panic. Rhode Island radon mitigation is not expensive compared to the dangers and a system can be implemented in a relatively short period of time.
