Testing your home for radon is easy and inexpensive. However, if you are selling your home you may want to hire a professional radon tester, who is not involved in the sale of your house and will provide you with an independent test result. Other homeowners may hire professional radon testers simply because they prefer the advice of professionals when it comes to keeping their families safe from the hazards of radon.
A certified radon tester knows the proper conditions, test devices and guidelines to obtain a reliable radon test. A professional radon tester can also evaluate your home to determine the best testing approach. In addition, the tester can explain how proper conditions can be maintained during the radon test. A reliable test result depends on your cooperation, because any interference or disturbance with the test will invalidate the test result. Once the test has been completed, the professional radon tester can analyze and/or report measurement results to the homeowner.
