Residential Monitoring
Radon Awareness and Prevention
Radon awareness is a key factor in reducing exposure within homes and other occupied spaces. Understanding the risks and taking proactive steps can make a significant difference in long-term health and safety.
We encourage every homeowner and occupant to test their indoor environment to determine how much radon is present. Even a simple test is an important first step toward ensuring a healthier, safer living space.
Continuous Radon Monitoring – Peace of Mind, Year-Round
Monitoring radon levels 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is the most effective way to ensure lasting peace of mind. We don’t want you to be left guessing whether a temporary disturbance has caused an increase in radon levels.
While short-term fluctuations in radon concentration are common, it’s important to ensure that exposure to elevated levels remains brief. Long-term monitoring provides valuable insight into these variations, helping you maintain a safe environment over time.
Radon levels naturally fluctuate based on home conditions and daily living habits. Home efficiency upgrades can sometimes contribute to rising concentrations, which is why continuous monitoring is essential. Even if your initial test results were low, changes such as foundation cracks, window replacements, or insulation upgrades can significantly alter radon levels.
Ongoing monitoring ensures you’re always informed and protected—no matter how your home evolves.
Certified Testing
Certified testing is a simple screening for radon levels. It is quick, it is easy, and affordable. This will provide you with a baseline of what your radon levels are. Depending on the results, you may want to explore other options to have further testing done or purchase a continuous monitor.
This is usually a recommendation if radon levels are above 200 Bq/m3.

Short Term Testing
Short term testing is done over a period of 48 hours up to 90 days. This test is best to be done when there is what we call ""Closed Conditions" like over the winter months. This will allow for a more accurate radon level reading. Remember ,radon levels do fluctuate. There are many factors involved that will affect the radon readings and the concentration levels. Understanding radon and the potential health risks associated with long term exposure to high levels of radon is important.
Long Term Testing
Long term testing is a minimum of 90 days of continuous monitoring in a home. This type of testing will provide a more accurate result as it will average the radon level over a longer period of time. Fluctuation in radon levels is normal and expected, so providing a reading of the concentration levels over a longer period is best to help understand what may be potentially causing radon spikes, and if there is a need to be concerned.
