HOW QUICKLY CAN I GET A RADON TEST?
We do our utmost to accommodate same day requests if possible. Generally a few hours advance notice is all we need to set up a test; however windows must be closed for 12hr before the start of the test, so in any case where we cant verify closed home conditions before we arrive, the test will be set on a 12hr delay to allow radon levels in the home to normalize before the official 48hr test period begins as per the EPA's radon testing for real estate transaction protocols.
HOW DO I SCHEDULE A RADON TEST?
Contact us to arrange a radon test. All we need to perform a radon test is contact information (name, phone, email) and an address. We can provide available time windows to try and find when we can be there that works best for you. Also feel free to contact us if you have any questions about radon testing. We are here to help.
DO YOU WORK WITH COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE?
Yes. For any property where the ground floor exceeds 2,000sqFt, you may want to consider having multiple tests performed. Radon concentration levels can vary significantly across a large enough property, and can be exacerbated by unique building conditions such as split foundations, sub slab venting, imbalanced AC or heating, etc. Fortunately our hourly data samples can help identify time sensitive factors such as air cycling through AC or heating for consideration when approaching any necessary mitigation.
IS RADON TESTING RELIABLE?
Our machines are state of the art, and annually calibrated. Our technicians are trained, professional, and prepared to answer any questions about radon testing. We strive to ensure every screening we perform adheres fully to the EPA's Radon Testing for Real Estate transactions protocols.
HOW FAR WILL YOU TRAVEL?
We are based in Lake Oswego, Oregon; but we serve a radius of communities in the greater Portland area. We do charge a distance fee for drives over 25 mi.
HOW DO YOU BILL FOR RADON TESTING?
When hired independently, we bill the Client, not the Real Estate Professional. We also have a strong working relationship with some home inspectors, and when working together, combine our invoices so the customer only receives one bill.
CAN THE HOME BE OCCUPIED DURING THE RADON TEST?
Yes. Windows must be closed for 12 hr prior to and for the duration of the 48hr test period; doors can be used for normal entry/exit, but should not be left open. Conventional AC and Heating systems should be used as normal. Besides those requirements, radon testing is unobtrusive.
WHAT IS IN A RADON REPORT?
In addition to the average radon exposure level our reports also provide hourly data points on the radon concentration levels in the home as well as weather conditions throughout the test including temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Our machines also include motion sensors which combined with weather data can help to detect evidence of potential test tampering.
