Short-Term Radon Testing

Who this is for

• Buyers and sellers working within an inspection period
• Homeowners who want a first look at the radon level in their home
• Anyone who needs a documented result within a limited timeframe

When it may be appropriate

• When a transaction timeline requires a result in a set window
• When a previous test needs to be repeated quickly
• For an initial screening before considering longer-term testing

How the process works

1. 1
   Set up the device

   The device is placed in an appropriate lower-level location.
2. 2
   Maintain closed-house conditions

   Windows and outside doors remain closed except for normal entry and exit during the test period.
3. 3
   Retrieve and report

   The device is retrieved at the end of the test period and results are shared with a clear explanation.

What to expect

• A snapshot of radon activity during the test period
• Practical instructions for closed-house conditions
• Guidance on whether follow-up testing may be appropriate
