You can't see, smell, or taste radon, and 1 in 4 homes tested through the Tennessee Radon Program come back above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level. There's no known safe level of radon, so knowing your number is the first step.
We offer certified radon testing across Middle Tennessee, with clear results that are fast enough for a real estate deadline.
An accurate, certified reading, explained in plain language:
The right test depends on your timeline:
A fast snapshot, standard for a sale or purchase
The truest yearly average, capturing seasonal swings
Radon turns up in Middle Tennessee inspections often, and an elevated result can stall your closing:
$175 for a standard residential test, a small price next to the health risk it rules out or the deal it protects.
Trust comes down to who holds the monitor:
See homeowner customer reviews and the EPA's radon guidance
Call, and we schedule a certified technician
The monitor is placed in the lowest livable level, under closed-house conditions
It runs for the measurement period, at least 48 hours
You get a clear report, plus a mitigation plan if needed
One test gives you today's number. Book a retest when your home changes:
We arrange radon testing across Middle Tennessee. See our radon services in Nashville.
Short-term tests run at least 48 hours, usually 2 to 7 days, for real estate transactions. Long-term tests run 90+ days for a truer average.
DIY kits are a reasonable first check. For a home sale or decision about mitigation, you'll likely want a certified test with a calibrated monitor.
$175 for a standard residential test, additional tests priced separately.
In the lowest livable level, at the right height, away from drafts, with doors and windows closed for 12 hours before and during a short-term test.
There's no known safe level of radon, and lower is always better. The EPA recommends fixing your home at 4.0 pCi/L or higher and considering mitigation between 2.0 and 4.0. The World Health Organization uses a lower reference level of 2.7 pCi/L. We'll walk you through where your result falls and what, if anything, to do next.
Tennessee is a disclosure state, and the seller disclosure form asks about radon gas, so known radon problems have to be disclosed. A recent certified test showing safe levels gives buyers confidence and becomes a selling point, and testing early leaves time to fix a high result before closing.
A mitigation system can reduce radon levels by up to 99%, and a post-mitigation test confirms your results.
We use calibrated continuous monitors placed by a certified technician under closed-house conditions, which are far more reliable than a DIY kit.
