Are your granite countertops a source of radon in your kitchen?

In many parts of the country, spring is coming.

In spring as the ground thaws radon can more more easily underground and there may be geological shifts which both can make it easier for radon to infiltrate your home. Every house has some radon and many have levels higher than considered safe by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA recommends that levels in all homes be less that 2 pCi/l. Check the radon risk exposure chart to determine what risk is acceptable to your family.

Warm weather is the time to have your home tested for radon and the most economical method is to test it yourself. EPA recommends periodic radon testing due to the potential for radon concentrations in any home to rise or fall over time as a result of natural and normal changes in underground conditions. Even if you tested your home last year and the radon risk level was acceptable to you then, the radon risk level could be very different now and that’s why we recommend annual testing.

Another way to be confident that your radon levels are safe is to install an electronic radon monitor in your home. You likely already have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in your home and a radon detector functions in much the same way with one outstanding difference. A radon detector has a digital display so you can see at any time the radon level in your home displayed in pCi/l, and your radon detector also has a siren to alert you if your indoor radon level exceeds 4 pCi/l. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors only alert you when extreme conditions exist but radon detectors give you the confidence of knowing average radon concentrations and whether the are rising or falling. An electronic radon detector allows you to monitor radon levels in your home every day all year long.

YOU CAN TEST HOUSES FOR RADON

TEST HANDLING: Radon home test kits are generally quite accurate, however the absorptive material can react to changing temperature and humidity especially during transit. To assure accuracy you need to order 2 test kits.

IT'S EASY TO TEST HOUSES FOR RADON!

Open the 2 test kits and place them side-by-side 4" apart, at least 22" above the floor and at least 2' from any outside wall and 3' from any door or window.
At the end of the test period (specified on the package) go back to the house, close the test kits, put them in the prepaid mailer and mail promptly.
Wait for your results to arrive by return mail.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHERE DO I TEST? You should test on the lowest level suitable for occupancy. If you have a basement family room, shop or workout room in the basement test there otherwise, test on the first floor in any room EXCEPT the kitchen or bathroom.

HOW LONG SHOULD I TEST? Follow the package directions for opening the 2 test kits and place them side by side 4" apart at least 22" off the floor; at least 2'-0" from any outside wall and at least 3'-0" from any door or window. Keep the kits open for the number of days specified on the kit package.

WHAT ARE PROPER TEST CONDITIONS? While radon kits are open and testing keep all windows and doors on all floors of the house closed except for brief entry and exit.

HOW DO I GET TEST RESULTS? At the end of the test period follow the package directions to seal the kit. Put each kit in its own postage paid mailing envelope and mail immediately. You'll get results back quickly by return mail or other method you select. In the unlikely event that the readings from the 2 test kits are more than 10% different you should test again.

HOW DO I KNOW IF CONDITIONS CHANGE? Geology is dynamic, conditions underground are always changing and radon levels can and often do change from safe to unsafe. Protect your family from this natural phenomena by installing a digital radon detector in your house. A radon detectorr displays current average radon readings just like your thermostat displays current temperature. Plus, a radon detector sounds an alarm if the radon reading exceeds safe levels. Every home should have a smoke detector, a carbon monoxide detector and a radon detector.

Real Estate Testing Overview

The EPA recommends that two short term radon home test kits be operated side-by-side for real estate transactions. EPA also recommends testing for radon in the home in the lowest level which is currently suitable for occupancy, since a buyer may choose to live in a lower area of the home than that used by the seller. Home inspectors and radon testers always use 2 test kits side-by-side and test in the lowest level that could conceivably be made into living space, an exercise room or play area.

The radon real estate testing guidelines developed by the EPA have been developed specifically to deal with the time-sensitive nature of home purchases and sales, and the potential for radon device interference.

If You Are Selling a Home...

EPA recommends that you test for radon in the home and if necessary, lower the levels of radon. Save the test results and all information you have about steps that were taken to fix any problems. This could be a positive selling point.

If You Are Buying a Home...

EPA recommends that you know what the indoor levels of radon in any home you consider buying. EPA recommends that you have a professional radon tester or home inspector do this for you. If the home has a radon reduction system, ask the seller for the information they have about the system.

If you are having a new home built, there are features that can be incorporated during construction to reduce radon dangers.

We offer a short-term radon test (charcoal) for home inspectors, radon testers and homeowners, a long term radon test (alpha track), a radon in water test and a continuous reading digital radon detector for your home. This doesn't take the place of annual retests but it can give you piece of mind all year long.
