Test Type
Long-Term Radon Testing
Long-term testing runs across a longer period and gives a reading that better reflects seasonal variation. It is often a useful follow-up to a short-term test when the goal is a more representative picture of typical exposure.
Who this is for
- Homeowners who are not working within a transaction timeline
- Owners following up on a short-term result
- People who want a reading that reflects seasonal variation
When it may be appropriate
- When timing is flexible and a more representative reading is desired
- After a short-term test suggests further evaluation would be useful
- For a periodic check on a home you have owned for a long time
How the process works
- 1Place the long-term deviceThe device is placed in a suitable lower-level location for an extended period.
- 2Continue normal livingLong-term testing does not require closed-house conditions the way short-term testing does.
- 3Retrieve and reportThe device is retrieved at the end of the period and the reading is shared with an explanation.
What to expect
- A reading that better represents typical conditions over time
- Clear expectations about the timeline before results arrive
