The number of detectors you need for your home or workplace will depend on how big the area is and how much time people will be spending in each area. If a person spends more than four to six hours a day in any given area, consider placing a detector nearby. Because areas under your home are normally the first place radon gas will accumulate, you should consider placing one radon detector for every 2000 uninterrupted square feet, and in frequently occupied rooms.

It is recommended that all ground contacting living areas should be tested as frequently as possible. Placing detectors in your basement is recommended, especially if you have a family room or other living area where your family frequently spends their time. You should test above every type of foundation in your home (ie. basements, crawlspaces and slabs).

Bedrooms, home offices and other family living areas of particular concern should also have radon detectors. Because you spend extended periods of time in these rooms, you are more likely to inhale radon. Additionally, these rooms often have closed doors which can cause the radon levels to be higher.

Radon gas is odorless and there is no way for you to see or smell the gas and a detector is the best way to tell if radon gas is present. Any area of your home that your family uses on a regular basis should have their own dedicated radon detectors.

Overexposure to radon is a dangerous proposition. However, it occurs much more often than it needs to. Why? Many residential property owners and even some commercial property owners do not have a short-term radon test kit. It gives you the ability to test for overexposure in real-time. Although you may not realize it, you need to have this capability in order to keep yourself and your property safe.

We will ship the detectors to you with instructions. Orders placed prior to 12:00pm CT ship same day (excluding holidays and weekends); orders placed after 12:00pm ship next business day. Once the testing is complete, mail them back to us with the prepaid label.

Upon receiving your test, our laboratory will complete processing within a few business days.

Yes, our QuickScreen Short Term Radon Screening is designed to test over a period of 2-4 days. Because radon levels can fluctuate daily, a faster test can be a less reliable representative of true average levels.
