Reliable Radon Testing for a Safer Indoor Environment
At Estates Inspections and Valuations, we provide professional radon testing services to help homeowners, buyers, sellers, and property owners identify elevated radon levels before they become a health concern. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, making professional testing the only reliable way to detect its presence.
Our testing process is designed to provide accurate, dependable results so you can better understand your property’s indoor air quality and take appropriate action if elevated levels are detected.
What’s Included in Our Radon Testing Process
Our radon testing service involves precise measurement and monitoring of radon levels within the property using professional-grade testing equipment and proven testing procedures. We evaluate the indoor environment carefully to ensure reliable readings and accurate reporting.
Each test includes proper device placement, radon level monitoring over the required testing period, data analysis, and a clear report outlining the results and whether mitigation should be considered.
What Happens During a Professional Radon Test?
Professional radon testing is designed to measure the concentration of radon inside a property under appropriate testing conditions.
Proper Test Placement
Testing equipment is placed in an appropriate location within the property to collect meaningful measurements.
Radon Level Monitoring
The testing device monitors radon levels during the required testing period. Following proper testing conditions is important for obtaining useful results.
Data Review
After the testing period is complete, the collected information is reviewed to determine the measured radon concentration.
Clear Results
You receive results that explain the measured radon level so you can understand whether additional action should be considered.
Radon Testing Matters Before Buying a Home
Buying a home is already a major financial commitment. The last thing you want is to move in and later discover an environmental concern that could have been identified during your due diligence.
Professional radon testing before closing can help you:
• Understand measured radon levels inside the property
• Identify elevated levels before taking ownership
• Make a more informed real estate decision
• Discuss results with the appropriate professionals
• Determine whether radon mitigation should be considered
Do Radon Test Results Mean?
Radon levels are commonly measured in picocuries per liter of air.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action to reduce radon when the level is 4 picocuries per liter or higher. The EPA also notes that there is no known safe level of exposure to radon.
If elevated radon levels are found, do not assume that the property cannot be made safer.
Radon mitigation systems are commonly used to reduce radon concentrations inside buildings. Your test results can help determine whether you should consult a qualified radon mitigation professional about the appropriate next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is radon?
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can enter buildings through openings and accumulate indoors.
Can I smell or see radon in my home?
No. Radon cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. Testing is necessary to determine the radon concentration inside a property.
Why should I test my home for radon?
Testing allows you to determine whether elevated radon levels are present. Because radon has no obvious warning signs, you cannot reliably determine the level based on the appearance, age, or condition of a property.
Should I get a radon test before buying a home?
Yes. Radon testing can be an important part of real estate due diligence. Testing before closing gives you information about measured radon levels while you are still evaluating the property.
Can a newly built home have radon?
Yes. Radon is not limited to old or poorly maintained properties. Newer homes can also have elevated radon levels because radon primarily originates from the ground beneath and around a building.
Is radon only a basement problem?
No. Radon often enters through areas in contact with the ground, but it can move throughout a building. A property should not be assumed to be free from elevated radon simply because it does not have a traditional basement.
