There are a lot mitigating factors when testing your home for radon. Yes, you can purchase a DIY test and save yourself some money but when you hire a professional they can explain the testing protocols and why they are so important to follow. A Government Certified professional will show you other radon entry points and how you can correct them in order to reduce the radon in your home.

• Do not operate wood stoves, fireplaces, exhaust fans or whole house fans more than in a normal fashion.
