Can I test indoor air quality myself?

• <div><p>A DIY kit can lessen the sting that comes with paying for a professional assessment, but these comprehensive tests are true lifesavers. Inspectors are more likely to catch all of the pollutants and hazards in your air. Plus, you’ll still need a professional to verify and act on your DIY test results. </p><p>Some kits don’t include tests for certain air pollutants or only detect their presence, but not their levels (i.e., mold spores). If you’re willing to shell out money for a DIY kit, it’s usually better to stretch your budget slightly higher for a more detailed assessment.</p></div>

Can I do radon testing myself?

• <div><p>You can buy DIY radon test kits from a home improvement store and conduct radon testing, but these tests are often inaccurate. No matter the result, you should supplement DIY testing with professional radon detection and analysis. DIYers only have access to passive radon tests, which aren’t as reliable as active tests that professionals use. Plus, it’s very easy for DIYers to make mistakes during testing, leading to inaccurate results. If you’re moving into a new home, have concerns about radon, or are due for an updated test, hire a professional. </p></div>

Q: Can I do my own radon testing?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-test-for-radon.htm">test for radon yourself</a> using DIY radon test kits, but these at-home test kits should never be a replacement for professional radon testing. DIY test kits can provide some information about radon exposure in your house, but your indoor temperature and humidity can affect the results, as can improper usage of the test kit. You could save yourself some money by hiring a radon professional to begin with, and when it comes to your family&rsquo;s safety, hiring an experienced professional to do the testing is usually the best option.</p></div>

Q: What pollutants are commonly tested for?

• <div><p>Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to get radon testing done?

• <div><p>It is worthwhile to get <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-radon-testing.htm">radon testing</a> done, especially if you haven&rsquo;t in the past and don&rsquo;t have active radon monitoring set up in your home. According to the American Lung Association, radon is a potential issue in all states, and testing is the best way to determine if it&rsquo;s a current problem in your home. Radon testing includes professional tests that determine ongoing radon levels in your property, and it usually includes a mitigation protocol to help you decide what measures to take to protect your home and household members.</p></div>

They went straight to work & had our Radon System up & functioning in a few hours. Cutting through concrete was noisy, but they left the area clean. I was afraid the device would be an eyesore, but they put it in discrete places in our basement & garage. We are pleased with their work.
