Radon Testing

The Scientific Approach to Radon Testing: Why Timing Matters

What most Maryland homeowners don't know: Maryland has no mandatory quality control requirements for radon testing. This means many testing companies provide only the bare minimum service with no verification of accuracy.

Unlike competitors who use outdated one-size-fits-all thresholds, we adjust our action levels based on test duration using published scientific data. This research-backed method accounts for the natural variability of indoor radon, delivering 95% confidence in your results—compared to just 60% confidence from traditional 2-3 day tests.

Developed by recognized experts, our Premium Gold Standard protocol uses extended testing periods, multiple testing locations, and verified results to detect radon patterns standard 2-4 day tests miss. This comprehensive approach ensures we catch borderline cases that others overlook.

The difference matters: Short tests can be misleading. When competitors tell you a 3-day test reading of 2.5 pCi/L is "safe" because it's under 4 pCi/L, they're using outdated standards. Research shows that same 2.5 pCi/L reading could mean your home actually exceeds safe levels year-round. That's why we use stricter thresholds for short tests—and offer a free follow-up test when your radon measurement falls in the caution zone. This ensures quick results don't miss real risks to your family's health.

What’s included?

Standard Test Package

Ideal for real estate transactions and rapid screening

A reliable short-term radon test that meets all federal guidelines—designed for home buyers, sellers, and property managers who need fast, documented results.

What’s Included:

• 48-hour test using an EPA-approved strategy
• Test placement in the lowest livable area, following industry standards
• Meets all requirements for real estate disclosures and transactions
• Free follow-up test if results fall into the caution zone (above our scientific threshold but below 4.0 pCi/L) — so you can be confident in your next steps

Why it’s better than a typical real estate test:
We apply modern, science-based thresholds to flag results that others might overlook. If your initial reading falls within the gray area of uncertainty, we offer a second test at no extra cost — ensuring your decision is backed by data you can trust.

Premium Gold Standard Package

Radon levels aren’t static — they rise and fall with weather patterns and how you live in your home. Our gold standard testing doesn’t just deliver a one-time reading — it reveals your family’s longer term exposure. By understanding real living conditions, we provide comprehensive protection for your family’s long-term health and peace of mind.

Advanced Testing Protocol:

The most accurate way to understand your home's true radon exposure. Our long-term radon testing service is designed for homeowners who want a detailed, science-backed assessment of year-round radon levels—especially in homes with children, high occupancy, or a history of elevated readings.

• ‍Service Highlights:
  • Long-term monitoring for a minimum of 91 days to account for daily and seasonal radon fluctuations
  • Room-specific testing in high-use areas such as bedrooms, nurseries, and family rooms
  • Multi-floor measurements to evaluate exposure throughout the home—not just in the basement
  • Multiple testing locations to capture differences between rooms, additions, and HVAC zones
  • Post-mitigation verification available to confirm system performance over time
  Who This Is For:
  • Families concerned about long-term radon exposure
  • Homeowners seeking a reliable baseline for radon mitigation decisions
  • Parents with young children or individuals spending extended time at home
  • Buyers or sellers of homes in radon-prone areas
  • Anyone who wants greater confidence than a short-term test can provide

Standard Practices

Quality Control:

Quality assurance is at the core of our radon testing services. Whether using Rad Elec’s E-PERM® system or standard charcoal monitors, all devices are deployed following strict protocols for calibration, handling, and exposure times to ensure accurate and reliable results. Every test is carefully reviewed against established performance standards to provide you with true peace of mind.

‍Peace of Mind Guarantee:

• If your test results show concerning levels, we provide immediate guidance on next steps
• If mitigation is performed, our verification testing ensures the system is working properly
• All testing meets or exceeds EPA protocols and guidelines

What This Means for You

What Most Companies Do:

• Run a 48-hour test
• Use 4.0 pCi/L as a universal threshold
• Say "you're safe" even if your real risk is higher
• May miss up to 40% of unsafe homes

What We Do Instead:

• Adjust our thresholds based on test duration
• Flag results others might ignore
• Recommend follow-up testing when necessary
• Offer results you can trust with 95% confidence
