Why is radon testing important?

• <div><p>Radon is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause lung cancer; testing ensures safe indoor air quality.</p></div>

What are the health risks associated with radon exposure in homes?

• <div><p>Long-term exposure increases lung cancer risks. Prolonged homestay individuals and smokers encounter heightened vulnerability and exposure concerns.</p></div>

How long does it take to see test results?

• <div><p>A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. </p></div>

How often should I get radon testing done in my home?

• <div><p>You should have a professional test for radon every <b>two to five years</b>. A good rule of thumb is to get testing done every five years if you’ve never had an issue before and every two years if you have. You may also want to schedule testing if you notice symptoms of radon exposure or if you do intermittent DIY radon testing and notice changes in your levels between tests. If you have an active radon monitor, you can schedule testing if you notice levels increasing over time.</p></div>

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’t in the past and don’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’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>

"Lesson learned. Always get an estimate. BEFORE the work is done. At least a digital copy. Arrangements for the project were made, with some one named Lynn, for the company to send someone to complete the work. We were quoted over the phone 4500-5000 which included a mold test. A sub contractor with an entirely different company (National Mold Company) was sent. When the contractor arrived, he stated that the job would be much more simpler than first thought. This led us to believe that the job would cost less, no. All said and done, they charged $5500. All said and done, it's almost like no work was done. The stains and the smell are still there. Only one actual board was taken upon the attic room. The ceiling in the bedroom was primed and painted but are still visible and have a funky smell. At this point I'm going to. Do what we should have done; Do the job ourselves. Just now with $5500 less dollars in our pockets. A detailed receipt was not given even though it was requested."

"They were reasonably priced but I'd recommend skipping and saving yourself the heartache. I was having issues with the radon mitigation system they installed. After a few days of calling and leaving messages I had no response. Then we finally figured out when they installed the system it only received power when the light switch was on...instead of wiring it to run all the time. Still no response back from them and I am paying to fix the issue myself. Do not go with them."
