MEASURING RADON

IT'S IN THE AIR, THE GROUNDS AND IN BUILDING MATERIALS

The amount of radon in a dwelling varies by season. These variations are dependent on the outdoor temperature and wind conditions. The amount of radon also varies during the day and night and from room to room depending on how the ventilation system functions and how often the room is aired. It is therefore important to measure the amount of radon over a relatively long period.

A measurement takes three months - and an additional month or so to process and report the results. It is a simple procedure, with monitors issued and returned by normal post. No visit is required.

The individual result in each home is confidential and will not be forwarded to any party without the prior consent of the householder.

A test package includes Radon Detectors with full instructions for their use, subsequent analysis and a report of the result. All packaging and return postage costs are included.

If the test results show that a house has increased Radon values, a thorough inspection should be carried out by a certified Radon Inspector to determine what solutions can be used to lower the levels of radon in the best way possible.

If the test results show that a house has low levels of Radon, we recommend a new test to be done in 5-6 years time to make sure nothing has indeed changed regarding the air quality.
