What to expect
Radon testing for Nashville and Middle Tennessee homebuyers.
Radon cannot be seen or smelled, and a visual inspection cannot determine a home’s level. Professional equipment measures the conditions during the test period and provides a result you can use.
Schedule radon testing with the home inspection so placement, measurement and retrieval fit your transaction timeline. If the result is elevated, a qualified mitigation contractor can evaluate reduction options.
- Professional measurement equipment
- Placement in an appropriate testing location
- Clear result documentation
- Convenient coordination with a home inspection
Plan the test around your inspection deadline
A radon measurement takes longer than a walkthrough. EPA guidance calls for at least 48 hours of testing, and some devices require longer. Share your inspection deadline with our office so we can confirm placement, access, the measurement period, and result delivery before you book.
Your home inspection report and radon results have separate timelines. Same-day home inspection reporting does not mean that radon results are available the day the testing device is placed.
What to arrange before testing
- Coordinate property access for device placement and retrieval.
- Give occupants the testing instructions before the appointment.
- Follow the required closed-house conditions and leave the device undisturbed.
- Confirm when the completed results will be available to you and your agent.
