Radon Testing in Dallas, TX
Typical cost: $150 – $250 per test, report included
A real radon test is not a coffee-can charcoal kit from the hardware store sitting on a shelf for a week. Professional measurement uses a calibrated continuous radon monitor placed in the lowest lived-in level of the home under closed-house conditions, logging the radon concentration hour by hour for a minimum of 48 hours — because radon levels swing with weather, soil moisture and the house's own pressure balance, and a single snapshot can miss the truth in either direction.
What you get is a written report with the hourly graph, the EPA-protocol average, and a plain-English explanation of what the number means: under 2.0 pCi/L, live your life; 2.0 to 4.0, consider retesting seasonally or mitigating if anyone in the house is at higher risk; over 4.0, the EPA action level, mitigate — and we will quote that honestly, not reflexively. The report stands on its own with any contractor, which is how testing should work.
Dallas-specific honesty: most homes we test here come back fine, and we tell people so up front. But 'most' is doing real work in that sentence — elevated homes show up across the metro without pattern, slab and pier-and-beam alike, and the families living in them had no way to know. The test is two days and modest money. It is the cheapest certainty in home ownership.
Not a shelf kit - a calibrated monitor with the hourly graph to back its average.
