time from three months to a year. However, we also have Rapidos, a test that will give approximate levels in as short as ten days. While Radtrak gives more accurate readings, Rapidos is a good option for those worried about high levels of radon in their home and thinking they need action as soon as possible.

It is difficult to predict the level of radon in a house without a test because there are a lot of variables that contribute to it, like ventilation, defects in the house's structure, and the weather patterns outside.

What is Radon?

Natural stones contain uranium. When uranium decays, radon, a radioactive gas called radon is produced. Radon decays into radon progeny, radioactive metal atoms that get trapped in your respiratory tracts when you inhale them. This can cause lung cancer and damage to your lungs and respiration system. Radon causes 22,000 deaths every year. It is found in every home.

The Environmental Protection Agency has established guidelines for radon to help keep the levels safe for people. Annual exposure rates to radon can not exceed 4.0 pCi/l or action needs to be taken to reduce it.

When you should get your radon levels tested?

Immediately test your home if it has never been tested before. After that, have it tested once every two years to keep up with the climate changing unless you detect high levels of radon.

If you previously tested before and had to take care of high levels of radon, test every year to make sure the levels do not rise again.

Test after a major renovation. Renovations can cause small cracks in the foundation that radon can leak out of, and it might also change your airflow and ventilation.

What to do if high levels of radon is detected.

If a level is detected, then a mitigation system need to be put in place. This includes radon fans, a suction point, and pipes that will take radon from the source and pump it into the air outside, where it will be diluted. In some states, this requires a certified mitigation contractor. But even in states that do not have regulations on that, it is still a good idea to get a certified mitigation contractor, because they have installed mitigation systems and know the best practices for keeping homes safe.

Radon is a serious threat, but Radonova is the first step to making sure your home is safe from harm. Our radon detectors will help you know if your air is safe, or if you are breathing in radioactive material. Whether you need an approximate reading now, or accurate readings in a few months, Radonova is here to help."
