Radon testing
A continuous monitor on the lowest level that could be used regularly, read every hour for at least 48 hours. The written result comes the day we collect it.
4.9 rating, over 4,000 reviews NRSB-certified technicians Serving Harford County
A radon test in Bel Air 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 home-test rate covers one Bel Air dwelling; identify controlled entry or tenants. If preservation work affects exterior doors or windows, complete it before establishing closed conditions for the short-term measurement. Keep approval paperwork separate from the test report.
Day 1
Drop-off
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
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
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.

Harford County is EPA Zone 1; test the individual Bel Air residence.
Bel Air explains that exterior work in its designated local historic district requires preservation approval. That rule applies only within the district and concerns exterior changes, not radon readings. Main Street, Bond Street, Broadway and later residential streets need address-specific test planning. A Main Street resident above a business should confirm the private residential door and any stair or elevator needed to reach the unit. Around Bond Street and Broadway, coordinate exterior work approved through preservation review so contractors are absent while the device is deployed. A family on a later residential street should identify any low room planned as an office, bedroom, gym or play space. Tenants need owner or management permission when required, and sellers need reliable access for both appointments. Normal brief entry and exit can continue, but windows and exterior doors must otherwise remain in the required condition. Report an unavoidable interruption to the technician, who determines whether the measurement remains usable.

Where we test in Bel Air, and what to tell us

Later Bel Air residential streets
On later streets, prepare the actual lowest potentially occupied room.
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.
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.
