Radon Testing Options

There are three primary types of radon tests used for homes and office testing.

1) Charcoal Test Canisters/Bags: A passive test device that does not require electrical current to operate. They are generally used for Short Term testing (approx. 48 hours). At the end of the test period, the kits are mailed to a regional radon laboratory for analysis.

2) Continuous Test Monitor - An active test device that takes hourly radon readings (over 48 hours) and stores them in memory for printing later. The benefit of using a continuous monitor is that it gives immediate results at the end of the test versus charcoal canisters and bags that must be mailed off for analysis. Continuous Test Monitors must be re-calibrated on a yearly basis at their respective manufacturer.

3) Alpha Track Detectors - Because radon levels can vary somewhat from day to day, a longer term test (up to 90 days), will provide a better indication of the yearly average of radon in a home because they reflect a wider sampling of test data.

Radon Solutions makes all three test formats available for our customers. The format you select is usually determined by the time period you have to test in and how quickly you must get the results of your tests back. All testing services will be conducted by "certified" professionals!   Call our office for current pricing of each test device!
