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.

DIY radon test kits are widely available, inexpensive, and effective when used correctly. These kits are purchased at hardware stores or online, placed in the appropriate area of the home, and then mailed to a certified laboratory for analysis. However, for real estate transactions or if you want a guaranteed accurate reading, hiring a certified radon measurement professional is recommended.

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.

A sub-slab depressurization system works by inserting a pipe through the concrete slab of a home’s foundation and connecting it to an electric fan. The fan creates negative pressure beneath the slab, drawing radon gas out from the soil before it can enter the living space, and venting it harmlessly above the roofline. This is the most widely used and effective radon mitigation technique for homes built on slabs or with basements.

Because radon is invisible and odorless, testing is the only way to know whether your home has elevated levels. The EPA and the Surgeon General recommend that all homes below the third floor be tested, regardless of location or construction type. Early detection gives homeowners the opportunity to take corrective action before long-term health consequences develop.

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.

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.

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.

Radon testing should be conducted in the lowest livable area of your home, as radon concentrations are highest near ground level. If you have a finished basement that you use regularly, test there first. For homes without a usable basement, testing should take place on the first floor, typically in a frequently occupied room like a bedroom or living area.

Short-term tests measure radon levels over a period of 2 to 90 days, with many charcoal canister tests running for just 2 to 7 days.

Long-term tests measure radon over 90 days or more, typically using alpha track detectors, and provide a more accurate representation of average annual exposure. Short-term tests are useful for quick screening or real estate transactions, while long-term tests give a better picture of ongoing risk.
