Radon Testing Services
When radon levels are suspected of being high in a building or home, it is so important that radon testing is done. Sunstate Radon Testing offers radon testing services that will allow us to provide you with accurate level readings. Our testing will help to determine the radon levels in the home or building. If radon is found in high concentrations, then it can be very dangerous. Our professionals are certified to measure radon levels, and they can provide detailed reports.
The types of radon testing
We offer different types of radon testing, and these tests are done by our certified radon specialists. The first type of radon testing that we offer is known as short-term tests. These short-term tests usually take 2 – 7 days to complete, and they provide details of radon levels at a specific time. The next type of radon testing is our long-term radon testing. This long-term radon testing lasts for 3 months, and longer. This test provides a more comprehensive understanding and details of average radon levels over a longer period. The next test is the one that our certified professionals carry out and this test is known as professional testing. Our professionals will use specialized equipment to obtain accurate radon level readings.
What should the level of radon be in your home and when should testing be done?
We recommend that the level of radon be below 4.0pCi/L (picocuries per liter). While we understand that any level of radon does carry some risk, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends that action be taken if the radon levels are at or above 4.0pCi/L. When levels reach this level, then it is enough to start considering mitigation. Sunstate Radon Testing recommends that radon testing be done before buying or selling a home. This radon testing will help to determine the potential risks associated with the property. Then we recommend that radon testing is done every two years or more frequently as radon levels can change. We also recommend that radon testing is done after any construction to ensure that radon levels are safe.
Hiring professionals for radon testing
Sunstate Radon Testing recommends that you hire professionals to carry out radon testing at your home or business. Professional radon testing will ensure that the correct readings are obtained so that the right course of action is taken. If radon levels are higher than the recommended and safe level, then our certified specialist will be able to take the right course of action to ensure that the radon levels are brought down to a safe level. Radon levels that are higher than they should be harmful to you and your family.
Costs of radon testing
Professional testing is more expensive than DIY kits, but professional radon testing is more accurate. Professional testing will give you more accurate radon level readings, and the professionals will also provide you with information if the radon levels are too high. Prices will depend on the size and location of your home or business.
