The Home Inspector’s Page
As a service to home inspectors and their clients, Mr. Radon would be pleased to accompany the inspector either at the time of the home inspection (or at another set time) to set up a tamper resistant monitor to test for radon gas. This test is the only test Mr. Radon uses for real estate transactions as it will indicate if the test has been tampered with (e.g. test moved outdoors).
Some Considerations and Conditions for the Test
- for 12 hours before the test starts the windows and doors must be kept closed other than momentary exit and entry.
- the technician will place “tamper tape” on windows when monitor is placed
- home owner to complete an agreement of conditions (regardless of who is invoiced)
- the monitor is picked up by the technician two days later
- monitor is connected to clients phone line, data is down loaded via a toll free phone #
- data is reviewed by independent laboratory www.radalink.com
- results can be emailed to any party directly from the laboratory
