Why Radon Testing is Essential

The Invisible Danger

Radon gas is invisible and cannot be detected without specialized testing equipment. It can accumulate in any type of home—old or new, with or without a basement—and often exceeds the safety limits.

Trusted Testing

Our company utilizes continuous radon monitors to ensure reliable and accurate results over a short testing period (typically 48 hours). We follow strict protocols to ensure accurate readings that comply with industry standards.

The Health Risk

The EPA recommends taking action to mitigate radon levels that are 4.0 (picocuries per liter) or higher. Identifying high levels through our Radon Testing Service is the critical first step to remediation.

Our Radon Testing Service Process

The radon testing service provided by Affordable Inspections, Inc. is straightforward and non-invasive:

  1. Placement: Our inspector will place a calibrated monitoring device in the lowest livable area of your home.
  2. Closed-House Conditions: For the duration of the test (usually 48 hours), the home must maintain closed-house conditions. This means keeping all windows and exterior doors closed as much as possible, except for normal entry and exit.
  3. Data Retrieval: After the testing period, the monitor is retrieved. The data provides hourly readings, allowing us to generate an average radon concentration level.
  4. Reporting: We promptly deliver a clear and comprehensive report detailing the measured radon level. If the level is 4.0 or higher, we will provide guidance on the next steps, including mitigation options.

Frequently Asked Questions (Radon Testing)

  • The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if the measurement is 4.0 (picocuries per liter) or higher. If the results from your Affordable Inspections, Inc. test come back at this level or above, we will guide you on the appropriate next steps for mitigation.
  • Yes. The Radon Testing Service we perform utilizes specialized continuous radon monitors during a 48-hour short-term test, which is the standard method used during real estate transactions. When performed under strict closed-house conditions as supervised by Affordable Inspections, Inc., these tests provide a reliable snapshot of the current radon concentration.
  • Closed-house conditions are necessary for accurate Radon Testing Service results. This means keeping all external doors and windows closed for at least 12 hours before the test begins and throughout the entire 48-hour testing period, except for brief moments of entering and exiting the home. Affordable Inspections, Inc., will provide detailed instructions upon scheduling.
  • If your radon testing service report shows elevated levels, the next step is mitigation. This usually involves installing a system called a mitigation system that vents the gas safely from beneath your home and into the air outside. While Affordable Inspections, Inc. does not perform mitigation, we can provide resources for certified local mitigation specialists.
  • No, the radon testing service is a separate, specialized test that requires additional time and equipment. At Affordable Inspections, Inc., it is offered as a separate service or an optional add-on to our standard home inspection. We highly recommend bundling the services together for a comprehensive assessment.

Jodi Foster 6/13/2025

Chad Bryant of Affordable Inspections was EXCELLENT! His inspection of my house was very thorough and he took the time to show me some of his findings. He explained anything I didn’t understand and entertained all questions. The final report was so much more than I was expecting, it was very detailed with photos documenting everything. In my opinion, the rates were a bargain and I would happily have paid more, and obviously highly recommend!

Arlene Pink 1/6/2025

I was very pleased with the inspection on the home I was purchasing. The inspector went over everything he noticed while I was right there with him. They were friendly, courteous and completely understanding when I had questions about something in the home. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a home inspection. I would definitely use them again if needed

Brett Robison 7/31/2023

Chad was excellent! His thorough inspection uncovered a problem with the master bath shower that allowed us to get an $8,000 credit at closing! The report he filed was very detailed including routine maintenance items we will need to be on top of as new home owners. I can't think Chad and Affordable Inspections enough for their highly professional execution. Highly recommend using their services for your next home purchase!

Jeff B 7/26/2023

It may seem pricey at first, but the level of expertise, the detail, and the thoroughness of the inspection more than made this the best home inspection we have ever ordered. Austin communicated well and was able to perform the inspection and generate the report quickly enough to meet our tight schedule. He handled the house, septic and well testing, eliminating two other tests we would have to order, saving is time and hassle. I highly ... continue reading

Austin is a great inspector, very thorough and complete. After the inspection he was also very available to answer questions. Probably the best inspector I have ever had for a home inspection.
