Why Should I Test for Radon?
What Are the Options for Radon Testing?
We provide both short-term and long-term radon testing solutions for accurate radon measurement, depending on your needs and property structure. Radon measurement can be conducted using approved devices such as charcoal canisters, alpha track detectors, or continuous radon monitors. You can purchase a radon test kit online or at many retail or hardware stores. You may choose to test for radon yourself with a test kit, or hire a contractor to conduct the test—especially for large or complex properties. A complete radon test involves following the recommended duration and placement guidelines for the chosen device.
Short-Term Radon Testing (2–7 Days)
Ideal for:
- Real estate closings
- Home inspections
- Quick decision-making
A short-term test typically lasts a minimum of 2 days and up to 90 days. Short-term kits measure radon for 2–90 days, providing quick results. If a short-term test shows 4 pCi/L or higher, a second test should be conducted to confirm the results. Mitigation is recommended if the average of the two results is 4 pCi/L or higher.
Our monitors measure radon hourly, giving an accurate snapshot of current conditions.
Long-Term Radon Testing (90+ Days)
Best for:
- Seasonal variation analysis
- Identifying long-term exposure
- Buildings with complex airflow patterns
A long term test lasts over 90 days and provides a more accurate assessment of annual radon in your home. Long-term kits measure radon in your home for over 90 days, offering a comprehensive evaluation compared to short-term testing. For the most accurate results, long-term tests should ideally include both heating and non-heating seasons, as radon levels can vary with seasonal changes and indoor heating periods, which impact ventilation and radon accumulation.
Provides the most accurate average radon level over time.
Continuous Digital Radon Monitors
- Real-time data
- Highly accurate results
- Professional-grade equipment
- Fast reporting
Whether you need immediate results or ongoing monitoring, we recommend the right method based on your situation.
Provides the most accurate average radon level over time.
Your home should be the safest place in your life — but in many Wisconsin neighbourhoods, radon levels are dangerously high. More than 1 in 3 homes in Wisconsin test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. For comparison, the average radon level in American homes is about 1.3 pCi/L.
Our residential radon testing includes:
- Full home evaluation
- Placement of digital radon monitors
- Hourly radon level tracking
- Post-test analysis and recommendations
- Guidance on mitigation if needed
For accurate results, radon tests should be placed on the lowest lived-in floor, ideally 2–7 feet above the floor and away from exterior walls. Testing should be conducted under closed building conditions, meaning windows and doors remain closed, to ensure reliable measurements.
We work with:
- Homeowners
- Home buyers
- Sellers
- Real estate agents
- Property managers
Commercial buildings require specialized radon testing protocols to ensure compliance with Wisconsin safety standards and workplace health guidelines. For commercial properties, it is important that a licensed professional or contractor conduct radon testing using certified equipment to ensure accurate results and regulatory compliance. Hiring a contractor is more expensive, but it is often necessary for large or complex buildings to properly assess radon levels.
We serve:
- Office buildings
- Multi-family housing
- Retail centers
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing facilities
- Government buildings
- Healthcare and assisted living centers
Our commercial radon testing includes:
- Multi-zone testing
- Large-property monitoring
- Compliance-focused reporting
- Recommendations for Radon Mitigation in commercial environments
Children breathe faster, absorb more radiation, and are more vulnerable to radon exposure than adults. Wisconsin requires licensed child care centers and certain schools to follow radon safety protocols.
Our daycare testing services deliver:
- Certified measurement aligned with state guidelines
- Testing during school/daycare operations
- Safe, non-intrusive monitoring
- Clear documentation for compliance
Facilities should use a qualified radon tester to ensure accurate results. Your state radon office can provide you with a list of approved radon testers. Additionally, some state radon offices may offer free or discounted radon test kits for schools and daycare centers to encourage testing and reduce barriers for administrators.
Protecting children from radon exposure is essential — and testing is the most responsible step a facility can take.

A High Radon Reading is No Reason to Panic
If your test results come back elevated, don’t worry — you’re not alone. Many Milwaukee homes test above the EPA action level, especially properties with basements or older foundations. The good news is that radon is 100% fixable with the right strategy.
A high reading simply means your radon testing company has identified a problem early, giving you the opportunity to take corrective action before it affects your health. Certified radon testing & mitigation specialists can reduce levels dramatically using proven systems that work for both residential and commercial buildings.
Is Your Living Space Safe from Radon Exposure?
Reduce Your Radon Levels
Once radon is detected, reducing it quickly and effectively becomes the priority. This is where our radon testing services come in.
Our mitigation solutions include:
Active radon mitigation systems
Passive system upgrades
Radon fan installation & replacement
Sealing and foundation pressure adjustments
Commercial-grade radon reduction methods
With the right approach, it’s possible to lower radon by 50–99%, creating a healthy indoor environment for your family, employees, or tenants.
Active and Passive Radon Systems
Radon testing often identifies the need for a mitigation system. These systems are designed to reduce radon levels by either preventing radon from entering the building or by diluting indoor air with fresh outdoor air. The cost of a radon mitigation system typically ranges from $1,000 to $2,000, and can be affected by factors such as the severity of the radon leak and the size of the home. Sub-slab depressurization systems are the most effective solution for reducing radon levels. Understanding system types helps you plan effectively.
Active Radon Mitigation Systems
The industry standard for effective radon reduction.
- Includes a radon fan that creates constant suction
- Actively pulls radon out from beneath the foundation
- Vents it safely outside
- Achieves major reductions (often 50–99%)
After testing, our team recommends the most efficient system for long-term safety.
Passive Radon Systems
Installed in many new homes in Wisconsin.
- No fan
- Relies on natural pressure
- Reduces radon but not always below EPA levels
Often requires an upgrade to active status.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
What is the acceptable radon level in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin follows the EPA guideline for radon safety. The EPA recommends taking action if indoor radon levels are 4.0 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. However, even levels between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L may pose health risks over long-term exposure. Because Wisconsin is a high-radon state, regular testing is strongly recommended.
Do air purifiers eliminate radon?
No, air purifiers do not eliminate radon gas. Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the ground, not airborne particles, so standard air purifiers cannot remove it. The only proven way to reduce radon is through a radon mitigation system that actively vents radon from beneath the building before it enters indoor spaces
