Why radon testing matters in South Florida
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps up through soil, cracks, and slab penetrations. The EPA identifies it as the #1 cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, responsible for roughly 21,000 deaths in the U.S. every year.
Boca Raton sits atop porous limestone bedrock that can produce measurable radon in slab-on-grade homes — especially newer construction with tighter building envelopes. Testing is the only way to know your level.
Our radon testing options
We offer three testing protocols depending on your timeline and purpose:
- 48-Hour Short-Term Test — Continuous Radon Monitor placed in the lowest livable area. Ideal for real estate transactions. Results within 24 hours of pickup.
- 90-Day Long-Term Test — Alpha-track detector for the most accurate annual-average reading. Recommended for homeowners.
- Post-Mitigation Verification — Independent 48-hour test after mitigation installation to confirm your level is below 4.0 pCi/L.
What to expect during your test
A certified technician arrives at your Boca Raton home in an unmarked service vehicle, places the calibrated monitor in the correct location per EPA protocol, and provides written closed-house condition instructions.
48 hours later we return, download the data, and email a full PDF report — including hourly readings, average concentration, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure logs.
