A radon test in Burke 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 Burke 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
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.

Appointment times are requests until our team confirms them. What the number means, how to prepare the property and the eight questions everyone asks are on the radon testing page; this page is about Burke.
Fairfax County Health identifies Fairfax County as EPA Zone 1 and cautions that nearby homes can differ. Burke decisions should use a test from the property involved.
The County plan describes Burke Centre as including detached, townhouse and multifamily housing. Lake Braddock Community Association separately reports both single-family homes and townhouses. Community scale makes exact address and unit identification important; one result cannot stand for a cluster or neighboring residence. Tell occupants when the monitor will be collected so it remains untouched.

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.
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.
The appointment covers the identified townhouse and its accessible rooms. Give the full address, clarify any separate unit and show the technician the lowest space that could be used regularly.
It may prompt a useful conversation, but it cannot establish the radon level in your home. Detached houses and townhouses in the community still require residence-specific measurements.
Do not move, cover or unplug the monitor. Maintain the required closed conditions and avoid activities or work that substantially alter normal building operation near the device.
Arrange dependable access for both visits, keep normal mechanical systems operating and establish the required closed conditions before placement. The monitor must remain secure until collection.
