Understanding Your Radon Results
Radon levels are measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L). Understanding your results can help you make informed decisions about your home and determine appropriate next steps.
Below 2.0 pCi/L
Generally a low result. Periodic retesting is still recommended because radon levels can change over time.
2.0–3.9 pCi/L
Consider taking steps to reduce radon levels. We can explain your options and help determine whether additional testing or mitigation is appropriate.
4.0 pCi/L or Higher
Radon reduction is recommended. Make Right can evaluate your home and provide a customized mitigation estimate.

1. How long does a radon test take?
A standard professional short-term radon test requires a minimum of 48 hours for measurement, plus setup and retrieval time.
2. What are closed-house conditions?
Closed-house conditions mean keeping all windows and exterior doors closed (except for normal entry/exit) for 12 hours before and during the entire test.
3. CRM vs. charcoal: which should I choose?
Continuous Radon Monitors (CRM) provide hourly data and tamper detection, perfect for real estate transactions. Charcoal tests are cost-effective for general home awareness.
4. Can I stay in my home during testing?
Yes, you can stay in your home. Just be sure to maintain closed-house conditions and avoid moving or touching the testing device.
5. What happens if my result is 4.0 pCi/L or higher?
The EPA recommends fixing your home if levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher. We can provide a separate evaluation for mitigation options to reduce these levels.
6. How often should I retest my home?
Radon levels can change over time. Periodic retesting is recommended, especially after major renovations, structural changes, HVAC changes, or installation of a radon mitigation system.
