Radon Sampling:  Radon charcoal cannister sampling

The Iowa Radon Lung Cancer Study proved a valid link between exposures to low levels of radon and an increased risk of lung cancer.

Testing provides an accepted method of determining whether radon is present in buildings.

Elevated levels of radon are present at some Metro Atlanta locations. http://www.epa.gov/radon/states/georgia.html

EPA Links:  http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/citguide.html
http://www.epa.gov/radon/pubs/physic.html

Each kit contains two charcoal test cannisters; the second serving as a control.

Duration of test: cannisters are exposed to ambient indoor air for 48-96 hours. 

Protocol:  test cannisters are placed at the end of the home inspection and retrieved by the inspector after the 48-96 hour test period.

They are mailed to a test laboratory and the results are emailed to the client upon completion of the lab analysis.

Total time from placement of the cannister to reporting of test results varies from 5-8 working days. Inspector access is required to retrieve the test kits.

Your inspector provides appropriate testing methodology, chain of custody, and recommendations should test results exceed action levels.

The test devices do NOT present a hazard to the occupants of the dwelling

Fees for Radon Sampling

Test kit for standard home placed at the time of home inspection: $100.00
Additional test kit(s) placed at the same time.
Additional test kits are recommended when the area tested exceeds 2000 square feet or other factors dictate the need for additional test kits
$50.00
