Radon Testing

Radon Testing
Utah Has a Real Problem.

Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that seeps up from the ground into homes. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Utah has some of the highest radon levels in the entire country. You cannot detect it without testing.

Why It Matters

Utah Has a Radon Problem. Most Homeowners Have No Idea.

Utah's geology makes it one of the highest-radon states in the nation. What most people do not know is that Utah was one of the primary sources of uranium mined for the Manhattan Project during World War II. That uranium-bearing geology is still here, and it still produces radon gas continuously throughout the soil beneath our homes.

Radon enters homes through foundation cracks, construction joints, gaps around service pipes, and even through well water. It accumulates in lower levels of the home including basements, crawl spaces, and ground-floor living areas. These spaces can reach dangerous concentrations without any visible sign.

The EPA action level is 4 pCi/L. At that level, the lifetime lung cancer risk is comparable to smoking half a pack of cigarettes per day. Radon mitigation systems can reduce levels by up to 99% and typically cost $800 to $2,500. Testing first is the only way to know if you need one.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon levels if your home tests at 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) or higher. The EPA also recommends considering mitigation for levels between 2–4 pCi/L. The average indoor radon level in the US is about 1.3 pCi/L.

You cannot know without testing. Radon is completely colorless and odorless — there is no way to detect it by sight, smell, or feel. The only way to know your home's radon level is to test it with certified equipment.

If your home tests above 4 pCi/L, a radon mitigation system can reduce levels by up to 99%. The most common system is a sub-slab depressurization system, which uses a pipe and fan to draw radon from under the foundation and vent it outside. These systems typically cost $800 to $2,500 and are very effective.

Radon testing is standard in Utah real estate transactions. If elevated levels are found, it's typically a negotiating point — the seller may agree to install a mitigation system or reduce the price. A mitigation system is not a deal-killer; it's a common and effective solution.

DIY radon test kits are available, but they are less accurate than professional continuous monitoring and may not be accepted by lenders or satisfy real estate contract requirements. For a real estate transaction, a certified professional test is always recommended.

EPA protocol requires closed-house conditions for at least 12 hours before and during the 48-hour test period. This means keeping windows and exterior doors closed except for normal entry and exit. HVAC systems can run normally.
