Cincinnati's Most Accurate Radon Testing
Protecting Cincinnati families with industry-leading continuous monitoring technology. We combine fast scheduling with precise, EPA-compliant data—delivered in a modern digital report the moment testing concludes.
An Overview of Our Radon Inspection Process
Our Radon testing is precise and EPA-compliant. We arrive on-site ten minutes early to identify the ideal testing location—typically the lowest livable level of the home. We set up our industry-leading Continuous Radon Monitor (CRM), a digital device far more accurate than single-use charcoal kits.
The testing period requires a minimum of 48 hours under “Closed House Conditions” to ensure accurate data. While the device runs, it samples the air hourly to track fluctuations in radon levels, ensuring we capture a true average rather than a single snapshot.
Once the 48-hour window is complete, we return to retrieve the monitor and immediately analyze the data. Unlike lab kits that take days to process, our results are often available the same day we pick up the device. We generate a clear, easy-to-read Spectora report highlighting the average concentration and whether it exceeds the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.
Your privacy is paramount. Just like our home inspections, this report belongs to you. We can copy your realtor if you wish, but we never share findings with the seller, listing agent, or mortgage provider unless you explicitly forward the link yourself.
Inspection Process
Below is an overview of just some of the components evaluated during the inspection.
Precision Equipment, Not DIY Kits
We don’t leave your family’s safety to chance—or to cheap hardware store canisters. We use Sun Nuclear Continuous Radon Monitors, the gold standard in the industry.
While DIY kits can be mishandled, delayed in the mail, or affected by humidity, our digital monitors are calibrated to capture data hourly. This allows us to track radon fluctuation due to barometric pressure and weather changes, providing a scientifically accurate average of your home’s exposure.
The 48-Hour "Closed House" Protocol
Radon testing requires a strictly controlled environment to be valid for a real estate transaction. Our process ensures you get the results you need for closing without delay:
Setup: We arrive on time (often early) to place the monitor in the lowest livable level of the home. We verify that “Closed House Conditions” are met to ensure EPA compliance.
Data Collection: The test runs for a minimum of 48 hours. During this time, the monitor builds a detailed log of radon concentration, ensuring we aren’t just capturing a single “bad moment,” but the true average air quality.
Immediate Analysis: We attempt to set monitors 2 days prior to your home inspection whenever possible. This means we can retrieve the device, upload the data, and hand you the results the same day as your inspection.
Instant Results & Total Privacy
Once the 48-hour window closes, we generate a digital Spectora report. This isn’t just a pass/fail grade; it’s a visualized timeline of the radon levels in the home compared against the EPA Action Level (4.0 pCi/L).
Your Data Belongs to You. Just like our home inspections, our privacy policy is strict. We will email the report to you and, if requested, copy your realtor. We never share the results with the seller, the listing agent, the lender, or the mortgage provider. If the results are high, you hold the leverage to share that data for negotiation purposes.
The Hidden Danger in Ohio Valley Homes
The Hidden Danger in Ohio Valley Homes What is Radon? Radon is a naturally occurring, radioactive gas produced by the breakdown of uranium in the soil. It is invisible, odorless, and the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers in the United States, claiming over 21,000 lives annually. The Local Reality Don't assume your neighborhood is safe. Approximately 1 in 4 homes in Hamilton County test above the EPA’s action level. The risk is even higher (1 in 3 homes) in Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties. We have found high levels in every neighborhood in Cincinnati, from Western Hills to Oakley. The Solution is Simple The good news? Radon is fixable. If our test reveals elevated levels (4.0 pCi/L or higher), a mitigation system can be installed for an average cost of $1,200. Testing gives you the peace of mind to know if this system is necessary—and the documentation to ask the seller to pay for it.
Yes. Mechanical systems can fail. Fans burn out, and suction pipes can become blocked. The only way to ensure a mitigation system is actually protecting your family is to test the current levels.
A valid real estate radon test requires a minimum of 48 hours of continuous monitoring inside the home with windows and doors closed.
If the average level is 4.0 pCi/L or higher, the EPA recommends mitigation. In a real estate transaction, a high test result is a standard, legitimate reason to request the seller install a mitigation system before closing.
No. We work for you. The report is yours to share as you see fit.
