A standard short-term radon test takes 48 hours. We use certified continuous monitors that record readings hourly for accuracy. After retrieval, your results are analyzed and shared with you the same day.
Yes. Portions of New Jersey can have higher natural radon levels depending on the local soil composition and geology. Even homes without basements or built on coastal sandy soils can test high. The only way to know is to test. It’s simple, quick, and affordable.
The EPA’s action level for radon is 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L). If your reading meets or exceeds that, mitigation is strongly recommended. Some homeowners choose to install systems even at lower levels for peace of mind.
You can, but professional testing provides more reliable results before closing. Our NRPP-certified monitors log readings continuously and detect fluctuations influenced by temperature or air pressure, things a home test kit can miss. In addition, most times the seller will give a credit to have a mitigation system installed if high levels are detected.
Every two years, or any time you make major renovations, change your HVAC system, or finish a basement. Testing after radon mitigation is also recommended to confirm the system’s effectiveness.
Yes. During inspections, we look for evidence of termites, carpenter ants, bees, and powderpost beetles, as well as conditions that can attract them. Early detection can save significant repair costs.
While we’re not a remediation company, we do flag visible signs of mold growth, potential asbestos-containing materials, or air quality concerns that may warrant professional testing. Our goal is to help you spot risks early.
Most results are available within 24–48 hours after testing is complete. Some lab analyses, such as VOC or metal testing, may take slightly longer.
