Home Seller & Pre-Listing Radon Testing

Testing for radon before you list can give you a clearer picture of your home and reduce surprises during a buyer's inspection period. We work with Rhode Island sellers and their agents on straightforward pre-listing radon testing.

Who this is for

  • Sellers preparing to list a Rhode Island home
  • Listing agents recommending pre-listing testing to their clients
  • Owners of homes with a previously installed mitigation system who want a current reading

When it may be appropriate

  • Weeks before a home hits the market
  • After renovations to lower-level living space
  • Any time a documented result would be useful for prospective buyers

How the process works

  1. 1
    Schedule with your agent
    We coordinate the test around your listing timeline.
  2. 2
    Deploy the device
    The device is placed under closed-house conditions in an appropriate lower-level location.
  3. 3
    Deliver a clear result
    You receive the reading and a plain-language explanation to help you plan your next steps.

What to expect

  • Straightforward, non-alarmist explanations of what a result means
  • Guidance on when a follow-up test could be useful
  • Documented results suitable for sharing with prospective buyers when appropriate
  • Advance notice of options if the reading is elevated — so you can plan before you are under contract

What to expect: pre-listing timeline

Before the test

  • We confirm the right test type for your situation and coordinate with your listing agent if you have one.
  • You receive plain-language instructions for closed-house conditions.

During the test

  • The device is placed in a suitable lower-level location for 48–96 hours.
  • You continue to live normally as long as closed-house conditions are maintained.

After the test

  • You receive a written report with the reading and interpretation.
  • If low, that is documentation you can carry into the listing period. If elevated, we help you think through retesting, mitigation, and disclosure options.

Frequently asked questions

Pre-listing testing gives you documented information on your own timeline. A low result is a positive disclosure. An elevated result gives you time to plan before you are under contract.
