Radon Testing in St. Louis
Because of the prevalence and risk factors, both the EPA and the Surgeon General recommend that all buildings be tested for radon. Radon levels can vary from building to building in a neighborhood, so even if neighboring buildings have a low level, that doesn’t mean your building is safe.
Radon testing is requested during most real estate transactions, but that isn’t the only time testing should be done. It is recommended that you test every two years to keep you and your employees safe from exposure. If you are planning any major remodeling or renovation projects it is important to test for radon before beginning construction. Because major renovations can change radon levels, the EPA recommends testing after work is completed as well.
It is crucial that proper equipment and protocols are used during testing to ensure accurate results and proper mitigation solutions. Advanced Radon Control uses Continuous Radon Monitors from Sun Nuclear Corporation, which are calibrated according to manufacturers specs to ensure accuracy. These are considered more accurate than passive tests, and test results are immediately available. We also use passive radon measuring devices including charcoal canisters and charcoal pouches that are sent to a lab for analysis.
