Radon and Home Seller

If you are considering the sale of your home, EPA recommends that you test your home before putting it on the market; and, if appropriate, reduce the radon level.

Fix your home if your radon level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher.

Consider retesting your home if the last test was more than two years ago.

You should test for radon within the lowest level of your home that is suitable for occupancy without substantial renovation.

Also, a retest is recommended if a buyer plans to live in a lower level than was previously tested (e.g., such as a basement suitable for occupancy but not currently lived in).

EPA suggests that radon mitigation costs between $500 and $2500 for a single family home. For a larger building, the costs will depend on the size and other characteristics of the building. The Radon Fix It Line (1-800-644-6999) can provide general information on methods for reducing radon.

Please call ASK Analytic Services (952/888-7166) for a radon testing quote—either a short-term test (48 hours) or a long-term test (greater than 90 days).
