Radon Gas Test Procedure

Inspecting a dwelling for radon gas is an important process when doing a property transaction.

Our radon technician will position the radon gas monitors in the dwelling. Radon gas monitors are situated in crawl spaces, the level above crawl spaces, and any room touching the earth. On average between 1 and 3 probes are located in the property for the radon analysis.

Our radon gas technician will shut every window and door, close the damper on the fireplace, and make certain the HVAC system is running in the prescribed manner. Our radon gas expert will also treat all required windows with tamper-proof tape to confirm that ventilation conditions are upheld.

The radon monitors are left on the property for several days to measure the amount of radon gas in the building. A professional will return to the property once the radon testing is completed to remove the probes and create a report.
