Why radon testing matters in Charlestown

Coastal Charlestown homes are not automatically low-risk for radon. The gas comes from directly beneath the foundation, so a beach-adjacent home can measure just as high as an inland one depending on site conditions.

Seasonal Charlestown homes often sit closed for long winter stretches. Short-term testing done during closed-house periods captures real conditions when the home is buttoned up.
