Key Points For Radon Testing
Radon testing is essential for all homes, regardless of their location or age.
According to the EPA, radon tests should be carried out in the lowest livable area of your home, typically the basement. Two methods of radon testing are passive and active. Passive methods involve leaving a test kit in the home for a specific period, while active methods utilize electronic monitors for continuous radon level measurement, tailored to Hudson Valley.
For reliable results, the EPA suggests conducting radon tests for at least 48 hours and maintaining closed building conditions during the test. If radon levels exceed the EPA action level of 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), homeowners should take appropriate measures to mitigate radon.
