What Are the 2 Most Common Radon Testing Myths?

Myth 1 - Only homes with a basement can have high radon levels.

This is false. If the levels of radon in the soil are high enough, any home can have high radon levels whether or not the home is on a basement, crawlspace or slab foundation. 

Myth 2 - The home has a mitigation system already installed so testing isn’t necessary.

This is also false. It’s true that a home with an active and properly functioning mitigation system is less likely to have high radon levels, but it’s important to confirm that the system is working properly. We perform many radon tests on homes with systems that come back with levels over 4pCi/L.
