Once you are educated on the dangers of radon in your area, contact your neighbors and ask them what they know about it. Have they tested their home for Radon? What method did they use?

Radon Testing

Most people think you need a contractor to test your home or workplace for radon, but that’s simply not true. A radon test kit can be purchased for a small cost and administered by following basic step by step instructions. Once the test has been completed, the kit can be sent to the lab and your results will be returned in a few weeks. If you don’t trust yourself to use the test kit properly or simply don’t have the time, a licensed contractor can test your home for piece of mind. Find out more by navigating to our testing page.

Radon Mitigation

If your home or workplace tests for levels of radon that are higher than the EPA’s recommended limit of 4 pCi/L, you should have your levels reduced by hiring a radon mitigation contractor. There is no safe level of radon. Most professionals suggest eliminating all risk of radon exposure by having levels reduced even if your home tests for any level over 2 pCi/L. If you know a neighbor who has used a radon mitigation professional, start by asking them for a reference.
