The Process
Stage 1: Pre-Test Preparation & Setup
We inspect your property to determine optimal radon testing locations and ensures proper testing conditions. Professional radon detection equipment is strategically placed in the lowest occupied levels of your building according to EPA protocols.
Stage 2: Testing & Monitoring
Radon detectors remain in place for the required testing period (typically 48-72 hours for short-term testing) to capture accurate radon level measurements. Testing conditions are monitored to ensure reliable results.
Stage 3: Results Review & Mitigation Planning
The inspector retrieves testing equipment and analyzes radon level results. The MoldTec team explains findings in detail, compares levels to EPA action guidelines, and provides specific recommendations for radon mitigation when levels exceed safe limits. Results are immediate and emailed to you.

We also retest after radon mitigation systems are installed to ensure they are working properly and creating a safe and healthy indoor air quality environment.
Frequently Asked Questions for Radon Testing
-
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is colorless and odorless, meaning it cannot be detected without testing. Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is a leading cause of lung cancer, especially for non-smokers.
-
Radon typically enters through cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, sump pumps, crawl spaces, and other openings in contact with the ground. It can accumulate in basements and lower levels where ventilation is limited.
-
Radon testing is recommended when buying or selling a home, after renovations that affect the foundation, or if it has been more than two years since your last test. Regular testing is the only way to know if radon levels are elevated.
-
Radon testing is done using specialized devices placed in the lowest livable area of the home. Short-term tests typically run for 48 hours, while long-term testing can provide a more comprehensive average over time.
-
The EPA recommends taking action if radon levels are 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. Even lower levels may still pose some risk, which is why testing and monitoring are important.
-
Short-term radon tests usually take 48 hours to complete. Results are typically available shortly after the testing period ends.
-
Yes. Radon levels can fluctuate due to seasonal changes, weather conditions, and changes in the home’s structure or ventilation. That’s why periodic testing is recommended.
-
No. Radon can affect homes of any age, size, or construction type. Both new and old homes can have elevated radon levels depending on the soil and location.
-
Yes. Radon levels can vary significantly from one property to another, even on the same street. Testing your own property is the only way to know your specific levels.
-
If elevated radon levels are detected, mitigation systems can be installed to reduce radon concentrations. These systems are effective and commonly used to improve indoor air safety.
-
Yes, radon testing is commonly performed during home inspections and real estate transactions to ensure safe levels before closing.
-
No, we focus on radon testing only to provide unbiased results without a conflict of interest. If high levels are found, we can guide you on next steps.
