Redmond Home Inspections now provides Radon measuring. The way the process works is we set up a small tripod that has the radon measurement device on top. This will be set up in the lowest level that is habitable at least 4 hours a day. The best time for testing is in the fall and winter months when windows and doors are closed and the house is sealed up. If testing outside of this time period, the windows will need to be closed and doors closed as much as possible. The standard test will run for 72 hours (3 days). The fee for this service is $300 if you’re in the Windsor area. If your outside of Windsor, there will be a small travel fee applied. The longer the sampling time, the more data that is collected. Radon levels fluctuate throughout the day so the more time the better. Sampling for 7 days is available and that service is $600.

A report will be generated and emailed the same day the unit is picked up. Depending on the levels detected, the inspector will give recommendations on the next course of action.
