radon testing

Radon testing measures the level of radon gas, a naturally occurring radioactive substance that can accumulate indoors and pose health risks over time. Testing involves placing a detector in your home for a specified period, typically a few days to a week, to monitor radon levels. There are short-term tests (more common) and long-term tests for a more accurate picture. If elevated radon levels are detected, mitigation steps, such as ventilation or sealing cracks, can reduce the gas and improve indoor air quality. Regular testing is recommended, especially when purchasing a new home or living in areas with high radon potential.
