Radon Testing Services in Fairfield, Stamford & Nearby
Why test your CT home for radon?
Radon is a naturally-occurring soil gas that can come through cracks and gaps in a home’s foundation and fill the air, posing serious health risks. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Those who smoke and are exposed to radon are at an even greater risk of developing lung cancer. The gas is invisible and odorless, so testing for radon is the only way to know the radon levels in your home. Any Connecticut home or building can have a radon problem. Two buildings next to each other, built in the same style, can have different radon levels. Even if your neighbors don't have a radon problem, you should test your home for radon. CT Radon and Well Water Solutions is a qualified Fairfield, CT radon contractor with experience, training, and expertise in radon testing and radon mitigation services. Don't wait to find out if you've got a radon problem in your home. Contact us today to schedule a radon test!
When should you test for radon?
- Radon levels are unknown
- Preparing to buy or sell a home
- Before or after any renovations
- Before remodeling the basement or lower level of the home, especially if converting a basement to a bedroom
What's the best way to test for radon?
Two primary radon testing options are professional testing by qualified, trained radon testers or DIY testing using a test kit purchased from a hardware store or online. Whether you hire a professional or perform the test yourself, radon testing is easy and inexpensive. The EPA recommends hiring a qualified tester if you buy or sell a home.
There are two general types of radon tests:
- Short-term tests measure radon for 2–90 days for quick results.
- Long-term tests measure radon in your home for around 90 days and can help determine your home’s year-round average radon level.
Our team of radon professionals can recommend the best radon test for your home.
Connecticut radon test results and next steps
The EPA has determined that radon test results that show an exposure level above 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) of air indicate that a radon reduction (or radon mitigation) system should be installed by a qualified professional.
If you're planning any major renovations, testing for radon before you begin the work is important. This is especially true if you're finishing or remodeling the basement, where radon levels are typically higher than other areas in the home. If your test results indicate high radon levels, installation of a radon mitigation system can be included as part of the renovation.
