How much does radon testing cost in Arlington?

A radon test in Arlington 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 residential price covers one Arlington home or unit. Book online or call with the exact address, unit and access contact when the property is attached, rented or managed.

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 Arlington homes

Arlington County is EPA Zone 2. Test the residence itself because the federal map is a planning tool, not an address result.

Lyon Village, Ashton Heights and Westover appear on Arlington County’s historic-district list. District status does not assign one age or building form to every address. For a condominium or apartment, identify the unit and arrange front-desk or management entry for both visits. In a house, show the technician any low room that could become an office, bedroom or recreation space.

01

Historic districts, varied residences

Lyon Village, Ashton Heights and Westover appear on Arlington County’s historic-district list. District status does not assign one age or building form to every address.

02

Condominium entry

Identify the individual Arlington unit and arrange front-desk or management entry for placement and retrieval. Common areas and neighboring residences are outside that unit-specific scope.

03

A future-use lower room

Show the technician a lower room planned for later work, sleep or recreation even when it is unfinished today. Potential regular use can affect the measurement level.

Before you book in Virginia

Virginia's residential disclosure statute directs the seller's disclosure statement to say that the owner makes no representation about whether the property is in an EPA Zone 1 or Zone 2 locality. It directs buyers to use due diligence, including reviewing EPA, Virginia Department of Health and NRSB information and ordering a radon inspection before settlement as the contract allows.

Va. Code section 55.1-703. Current as of September 2026. General information, not legal advice.

Radon testing in Arlington, answered straight

Does historic-district status change the test?

No. Historic designation does not change the radon protocol or predict a reading. The technician uses the current layout of the Arlington residence and selects the lowest level that could be used regularly.

Can my condo building share one result?

A result from one condominium applies to that tested unit, not automatically to every residence in the building. Each additional unit needs its own defined scope and authorized access.

What should an Arlington buyer schedule?

Allow time for placement, the required measurement period, retrieval and delivery of the report. Confirm agent, seller or building access for both visits before the contract deadline.

Which lower room matters?

Show the technician the lowest room that could support regular living, sleeping, work or recreation. Present use as storage does not rule it out when regular use is reasonably possible.
