Radon Testing in Real Estate Transactions

If you are thinking of buying a home, you should have a radon test done before purchase. You may want to consider including provisions in the real estate contract specifying details about the radon test. Make sure the test is done in the lowest level of the home suitable for occupancy.

In addition, we recommend using a Professional Tester to conduct the radon test, according to EPA or your state’s protocols.
