Radon test.

If you need a radon test you have a couple of ways to go about it. You can buy a simple radon test kit from certain stores and maybe hardware stores in your area. You also can get radon test kits online and some states give them out free radon test kits in certain areas.

If you live in a area known for radon gas i would suggest a radon testing service. You can find radon testing services in phone book or on internet. Some will use a radon detector i would also have radon test kits to make sure results are correct.

If you live in area not known for radon gas go with the cheap radon test and do it yourself. They have mutiple test kits some as low as $5 and up to $45 per test kit. Place one near sump pump and one in other corner of basement. I would not put any radon test near furnace or clothes dryer as results might be incorrect.

Radon test for do it yourself is cheap and simple. Takes from 3 to 14 days and depends on radon test kit. You then send radon test to lab and they mail results back. If levels are high hire a radon testing service to check results and tell you best method to deal with radon gas.

If no radon problems are known to be in your area use cheap radon test. If you live in area with known radon gas problems hire radon test service. I would radon test home with cheap test kit and if i see high levels of radon hire radon test services.

You can do it either way but i preffer cheap radon test before i pay more money for radon test services.

Radon testing.

Radon testing can be done 2 ways. You can hire a radon testing service or use a do it yourself radon testing kit.

All radon testing will then be shipped to a lab and results sent to you. Some states have program for radon testing that provides home owners with testing kits.

Thier are two types of radon testing kits for home owners. First one is a charcoal canister that cost $10 to $35 for one cannister. The charcoal radon testing kit takes 3 to 7 days then you send it to lab. The second radon testing kit has a alpha track detector. This radon testing unit takes 2 to 4 weeks and you send it to a lab.

I would suggest getting 2 charcoal radon testing kits. Place one in basement near sump pump and another on other side of basement. Make sure not to place and radon testing kit near furnace or anything that moves alot of air like a fan or even clothes dryer. This might ruyin the test results or give bad readings.

I say to buy 2 charcoal radon testing units because the cost is lower and 2 tests are better than one. You want to see if radon levels are higher than normal and if needed you can tehn hire a radon testing service to make sure results are correct.

Radon testing will always show some radon. Radon is in the air we breathe everyday. The real problem is higher lkevels that are in homes or business. The main purpose of radon testing is to evaulate the risk of getting cancer or time. This increases with the level of radon in your home and time spent in home.

The basement will usualy have the highest radon testing levels in any home. If the basement levels are low no need to test rest of house in my opinion.

You can buy radon testing kits online and some home improvement or hard ware stores will also have them. make sure to read how long you have to leave the radon testing kit and then send it to the lab for results. The lab will tell you the levels and risk that you are exposed to. The newest radon testing is how to test for radon on granite countertops. You should check and see if your granite counter top is one of the types of granite that should have radon testing.
