What’s the Best Way to Test for Radon?

Radon is a hazardous gas that can seep into homes from the ground, posing serious health risks, including an increased risk of lung cancer. Radon testing is essential in identifying whether your home has elevated radon levels and determining the necessary actions to mitigate the risk. By conducting radon testing, you can make informed decisions to protect your family’s health, ensure a safe living environment, and potentially increase the value of your property.

Radon Facts

Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that can enter buildings through cracks and gaps in the foundation and accumulate to dangerous levels, increasing the risk of lung cancer. The EPA estimates that radon is responsible for approximately 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States alone. Testing for radon and implementing effective radon mitigation strategies is critical in protecting your family’s health and ensuring a safe home environment.

FAQ About Radon Testing

Let our Colorado Radon Company experts answer any further questions you may have about radon testing.

Radon does not technically “fail” a home inspection in the traditional sense, but elevated results above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L are often flagged as a significant finding. This finding can delay closing, trigger renegotiation, or require the seller to install mitigation before the sale can proceed. The outcome depends on the terms of the purchase agreement and how the buyer and seller choose to handle the issue.

Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas that forms from the decay of uranium found in soil, rock, and water. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without specialized testing equipment. Radon is classified as a noble gas, meaning it does not chemically bond with other elements, which allows it to move freely through soil and building materials into indoor spaces.

A radon test measures the concentration of radon gas in a home or building over a specific period of time. Tests can be conducted using passive devices like charcoal canisters or alpha track detectors, or with active electronic monitors. The goal is to determine whether radon levels exceed the EPA’s recommended action level of 4 pCi/L.

When radon decays, it produces radioactive “progeny” or “daughters,” including polonium, lead, and bismuth. These particles attach to dust and other airborne particles, and when inhaled, they deposit directly onto lung tissue. The alpha radiation emitted by these particles damages DNA in lung cells, which over time can lead to mutations and the development of lung cancer.

Radon levels can rise again if the mitigation system is turned off, damaged, or fails. A malfunctioning fan is the most common reason for returning elevated levels, which is why visual inspections and annual testing are essential. If post-mitigation testing reveals elevated levels, the contractor should be called to inspect and adjust the system, potentially adding additional suction points or replacing the fan.

Yes, new homes are not immune to radon – in fact, modern energy-efficient construction with tightly sealed building envelopes can trap radon more effectively than older, draftier homes. Many new homes are now built with radon-resistant new construction (RRNC) features, such as a gas-permeable layer beneath the slab and a passive vent pipe. Even with these features, testing is still recommended after occupancy to confirm radon levels are within acceptable limits.

There is no completely “safe” level of radon exposure, which is why keeping levels as low as possible is always the goal. The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels reach 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher, and considers levels between 2–4 pCi/L worth addressing as well. The national average indoor radon level is 1.3 pCi/L, while the outdoor average is about 0.4 pCi/L.

It’s recommended to hire a certified professional. Improperly installed systems can be ineffective or even counterproductive, potentially drawing in soil gases or creating pressure imbalances. Most states have certified radon mitigation contractors who follow EPA guidelines and can guarantee effective results.

A continuous electronic radon monitor is an active device that measures and records radon levels in real time throughout the testing period. These devices are typically used by certified radon professionals during real estate transactions because they detect any tampering or unusual conditions that might compromise results. While they provide detailed data and faster results, they are more expensive than passive testing methods.
