What our customers say

From our customer reviews.

They conducted the test right away and kept me informed every step of the way.

They arrived the day after I called, on time, set up the Radon test and left within 5 minutes.

Everything was handled so professionally, quickly and so easy to have our house tested for radon.

They found elevated radon in the home and numerous issues on the home inspection report which were remedied before I moved in.

Great service, very thorough inspection and highlighted items in a very approachable and organized manner.

How much does radon testing cost in Lake Ridge?

A radon test in Lake Ridge 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. Pricing covers one Lake Ridge residence; provide management access information. Ask management about advance notice requirements before selecting test dates, particularly when maintenance staff also enter the unit. Share the pickup time with every occupant.

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.

Radon testing for Lake Ridge homes

Lake Ridge is in Prince William County, an EPA Zone 2 area. The zone describes regional potential; it does not tell a Lake Ridge buyer or homeowner whether one house, townhouse or apartment has elevated radon. Testing the specific residence provides that answer. Let the technician know about the lowest level that could be used regularly, including a room the next occupant plans to finish or use for work or sleeping.

For a Lake Ridge appointment, provide the exact address and unit, a contact who can admit the technician twice, and any instructions for tenants, pets or an alarm. The monitor stays in place for at least 48 hours. Choose a period when occupants can follow the technician's closed-house instructions and cleaners or contractors will not disturb the device. If a sale is pending, leave room in the transaction schedule for placement, collection and the written report.

  • Pinewood Forest, Tacketts Mill

We only perform testing, not mitigation.

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.
