Radon Testing in Central New York
Professional radon testing helps determine the level of radon gas present in your home. Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can enter homes through the foundation. Testing is the only reliable way to know if elevated radon levels are present.
PROFESSIONAL RADON TESTING
Accurate Radon Testing You Can Trust.
I use professional radon testing equipment to measure indoor radon levels over the recommended testing period. Once testing is complete, you’ll receive a detailed report explaining the results and whether additional action is recommended.

Radon testing is performed using a professional Radalink continuous radon monitor. Unlike a basic test kit, the monitor records an hourly measurement throughout the testing period. This provides detailed information about radon levels and helps identify changes or unusual conditions during the test.
Whenever scheduling permits, I make every effort to place the monitor in the home approximately three days prior to the inspection. This allows the required testing data to be collected so it can be retrieved at the time of the inspection and transmitted for processing. Completed results are generally available within approximately one hour after the monitor is retrieved and the data is submitted.
Radalink is recognized as one of the industry’s leading professional radon-testing systems. As an NRPP-Certified Radon Measurement Professional, I can explain what the results mean, discuss factors that may contribute to elevated radon levels, and help clients understand appropriate next steps when mitigation is recommended.
This combination of professional equipment, certification, and personal guidance gives buyers more than a test result. It gives them a clear understanding of the potential concern and what can be done about it.
Understanding Radon Gas
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that forms as uranium in soil, rock, and groundwater breaks down over time. Because it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, the only way to determine whether elevated radon levels are present in a home is through professional testing.
Radon enters homes through cracks in foundations, basement floors and walls, crawl spaces, sump pits, utility penetrations, and other small openings where the home comes into contact with the ground. Once inside, the gas can become trapped and accumulate to elevated levels, regardless of the home’s age, size, or construction type.
Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer overall and the leading cause among non-smokers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking corrective action when indoor radon levels reach 4.0 pCi/L or higher, although reducing lower levels can also decrease health risks.
Since radon cannot be seen or smelled, professional testing is the only reliable way to know if your home has elevated concentrations. Whether you’re purchasing a home, selling a property, or simply want peace of mind, radon testing provides valuable information to help protect your family’s health.
