Frequently Asked Questions About Radon Testing

Here are our most frequently asked questions, but feel free to reach out if you have any others.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can enter homes and buildings through cracks in the foundation, walls, and other openings. The concern with radon is that it is colorless, tasteless, and odorless, making it undetectable without specialized testing. Prolonged exposure to high levels of radon increases the risk of lung cancer. In fact, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This makes radon testing and mitigation essential for safeguarding health, particularly in areas known to have high levels of radon emissions.

Testing radon levels in your home involves using a radon test kit, which can either be a short-term or long-term kit. Short-term tests are used for a few days to a week and provide a quick snapshot of radon levels. Long-term tests are conducted over three months or more and provide a more accurate annual average. Homeowners can purchase do-it-yourself radon test kits from hardware stores or online. However, for precise results and peace of mind, it is advisable to hire certified professionals like Cardinalbama. We utilize state-of-the-art equipment, place monitors strategically, and ensure proper conditions for testing, thus providing accurate readings and comprehensive reports.

Yes, radon levels can fluctuate daily and seasonally. Factors such as weather changes, ventilation, structural modifications, and even soil moisture can affect radon concentrations. For instance, levels may be higher during the winter months when windows are closed more often, trapping the gas indoors. This variability is precisely why a long-term radon test is essential to establish an accurate understanding of annual average levels in your home. Continuous monitoring systems are also beneficial, providing real-time data and alerts to ensure that any rise in radon levels is promptly addressed, maintaining a safe indoor environment for inhabitants.

If your home tests positive for high radon levels, it is crucial to take action to reduce those levels. Engaging a qualified radon mitigation professional is the first step. These experts can install a radon reduction system that effectively improves ventilation to lower radon concentrations. The most common method involves a vent pipe system and a fan, which pulls radon from beneath the house and releases it outside, preventing it from entering the living spaces. Our team at Cardinalbama is experienced in designing and implementing efficient mitigation solutions, ensuring sustained safety and compliance with health standards. Regular monitoring post-mitigation is also recommended to ensure continued efficacy of the system.

Radon can be present in any building type, including homes, schools, offices, and even commercial spaces. The gas tends to accumulate in buildings with basements or those constructed on certain types of soil. Nevertheless, even buildings built on slabs or without basements can be affected. The likelihood of high radon levels is influenced by factors such as geographic location and the materials used in construction. Testing each building individually is essential because radon levels can vary significantly from one building to the next, regardless of the structural similarities or proximity to each other.

Yes, you should test for radon in your home even if a neighbor’s test result showed low radon levels. Radon concentrations can vary greatly between neighboring homes due to differences in construction, soil composition beneath the buildings, and other factors affecting radon infiltration. A neighboring property’s low radon level does not guarantee low levels in your home. Thus, to ensure the safety of your household, it is important to conduct a radon test for your specific property. This approach helps mitigate any potential risks associated with this radioactive gas.

Radon exposure typically does not produce immediate or noticeable symptoms because the effects of radon exposure, such as lung cancer, usually develop over long periods. There are no specific warning signs without testing, which makes unawareness of elevated radon exposure a potential health risk. The most serious consequence of exposure is lung cancer, particularly for smokers who are more susceptible to the risks of radon-induced lung cancer. Smoking combined with radon exposure significantly increases the risk of lung cancer over time. Lung cancer can develop without other distinctive symptoms, which is why regular radon testing is critical for early detection and prevention in affected areas.

Yes, newly constructed homes should be tested for radon to ensure a safe living environment. Although modern building practices may include radon-resistant features, no building is guaranteed to be radon-free without proper testing. Testing is the only way to confirm radon levels in new constructions. Radon-resistant construction can limit radon entry, but testing remains essential to ascertain effectiveness and verify that radon levels are within safe limits. Post-construction radon testing is recommended as part of a comprehensive home safety strategy.

Radon levels should be checked at least every two years to ensure continued safety and to catch any significant rises in radon concentration. If your prior test results were near or above the action level recommended by the EPA (4 pCi/L), consider more frequent tests or continuous monitoring. It is additionally wise to test following major renovations or if changes to your home’s foundation occur, as these could alter radon levels. Regular testing helps verify that your mitigation system remains effective and maintains a safe environment for all occupants.

The cost of radon testing and mitigation varies based on several factors, including the size and type of your home, local labor rates, and the complexity of the mitigation system required. Testing typically ranges from $150 to $200 when conducted by professionals, although prices may differ based on your region and the chosen testing method. Mitigation systems, which involve more complex installations, usually range from $800 to $2500 depending on the home’s layout. It is fundamental to consult with a local radon professional to receive a customized quote and ensure the chosen solution fits your specific needs. Investments in radon safety are worthwhile for ensuring long-term health and peace of mind.
