How much does radon testing cost in Annapolis?

A radon test in Annapolis is $185, or $175 when it is added to a home inspection. That is the whole price: both visits, the monitor for the full 48 hours, and the written report with every hourly reading in it. The quoted residential service covers one Annapolis dwelling. Provide parking, unit and access details for both waterfront and downtown locations. When street parking or special events could delay access, establish a meeting point and backup contact for each appointment.

Day 1

Drop-off

We place the monitor

A technician places it on the lowest level that could be used regularly, following EPA placement limits and the intended use of the space, inside a two-hour arrival window. With a home inspection, placement happens during the inspection visit.

48 hours

The house stays closed

The monitor does the work

For a short-term real-estate test, EPA guidance calls for closed-building conditions for at least 12 hours before the test and throughout the measurement. Windows stay closed, exterior doors open only for normal entry and exit, and the monitor logs hourly readings that help document the test conditions during the minimum 48-hour measurement.

Day 3

Pick-up and report

We collect it, read it, and write it up

A technician picks the monitor up in another two-hour window and pulls the full record on the spot. The written report reaches you the same day.

What the ground does under Annapolis homes

EPA places Anne Arundel County in Zone 2. Annapolis owners and buyers need a test in the selected residence for an address-level result.

Annapolis classifies Historic District address ranges as residential, commercial, mixed-use and special historic-commercial zones. Those categories apply within the district and help identify access needs; they do not describe Eastport, Murray Hill or every City property. A downtown apartment can require residential-door, stair and parking instructions that differ from the commercial entrance below. Eastport owners should choose a period without marine-season moves or contractor traffic through the selected room. In Murray Hill, explain current and future use of low rooms. All occupants should know the device must remain untouched until the scheduled collection.

01

Historic District use zones

The City table distinguishes residential and mixed-use address ranges; book the actual dwelling.

02

Downtown logistics

Parking, keys and business-hour access should be settled before placement. Share any special-event street closure with the scheduler beforehand.

03

Waterfront assumptions

Water proximity is not a substitute for measuring indoor radon in the home.

Where we test in Annapolis, and what to tell us

  • Historic district and downtown residences

    In the Historic District, distinguish an upstairs residence from adjoining commercial space and pause restoration activity.

  • Eastport-area homes

    For Eastport, coordinate occupants and secure a monitor location away from routine entry traffic.

  • Murray Hill and other residential areas

    In Murray Hill and other residential areas, include any lower room planned for regular future use.

We only perform testing, not mitigation.

We do not install radon systems, so we have nothing to gain from your number. If the result is at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L, you choose who fixes it. Once the system is in, we can test again and tell you what it reads.

Before you book in Maryland

Maryland's residential disclosure framework includes radon among the hazardous or regulated materials covered by an owner's actual knowledge for certain single-family residential property of four or fewer units. The statute has enumerated exemptions and does not itself require a radon test. County and municipal requirements may differ, so check the rules for the property's location and type before relying on an existing result.

Radon testing in Annapolis, answered straight

Can a mixed-use Annapolis address have one test?

The residential unit can be tested, but other units or commercial space need separately defined scopes.

Does waterfront location predict radon?

No. Test the indoor residence rather than inferring a result from proximity to water.

What should an Eastport occupant do?

Keep the selected area accessible, maintain required conditions and leave the monitor untouched.

How should Historic District repairs be scheduled?

Complete or pause disruptive work before placement and resume after retrieval.
