Review and test for radon
If your basement or lowest lived-in level has not been tested, arrange a radon test using EPA guidance.
Why it matters
Radon cannot be judged by smell or appearance.
Steps
- If your basement or lowest lived-in level has not been tested, arrange a radon test using EPA guidance.
- Use a qualified provider or a properly placed test kit; follow its sampling conditions.
- Review prior results annually. Retest when lower-level use changes, after major alterations or when local guidance recommends; this is a review reminder, not an EPA annual-testing rule.
How often should I review and test for radon?
Yearly is the planning default. Follow your equipment instructions and act sooner on a fault.
