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 Prince George's County
A radon test in Laurel 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 rate applies to one Laurel dwelling. Provide the full unit designation and ask about a separate scope for any additional residence at the same address.
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 Laurel.
EPA places Prince George's County in Zone 2, a county-scale estimate of radon potential. That category cannot establish the concentration at a Laurel address, and EPA recommends testing homes in every zone. The useful evidence is a properly collected measurement inside the residence. Prepare the lowest level that could be used regularly, keep the chosen room available, and tell the technician about spaces that are locked, separately occupied or planned for future use.
Laurel is an incorporated city in Prince George's County, with appointments spanning Main Street and the historic mill district, the Patuxent riverfront near Riverfront Park, and Laurel Lakes. Confirm the complete street address, unit and entrance because each residence needs its own placement plan. Before the visit, identify the lowest room that could be used regularly now or after a sale or renovation. Include an unfinished office, future bedroom, play area or similar space. In a multifamily property, distinguish the private dwelling from corridors, community rooms and neighboring units. Occupied households should keep the monitor uncovered and undisturbed. For a vacant listing, name one keyholder, maintain normal building operation and schedule cleaners, contractors and movers outside the measurement period. If a buyer, seller, agent and manager share responsibilities, record who controls access and who needs the report. Keep the finished result with the exact Laurel property record.

01
Use the postal address and unit number to separate the booked home from neighboring dwellings, shared areas and informal district labels.
02
Plan showings, deliveries and repair work so no one relocates, covers or tampers with the equipment during the measurement interval.
03
Tell the technician when storage or unfinished space may become a regularly occupied room. Possible use can affect which level is appropriate to measure.
Where we test in Laurel, and what to tell us
Main Street and the historic mill district
Confirm the building number, dwelling and entry contact before the first visit. Compare the booking with the listing, deed packet or lease, and add alley or parking directions when they help the technician reach the correct door.
The Patuxent riverfront near Riverfront Park
Waterfront proximity does not predict an indoor reading. Keep the selected low-level room under the required conditions and arrange dependable access for both placement and retrieval. Riverfront orientation, floodplain questions and trail-side directions belong in separate due-diligence conversations and should not be folded into the radon interpretation.
Laurel Lakes
For a managed or attached residence, coordinate desk procedures, keys and permitted visit times in advance. State clearly whether the requested result is for a house, apartment or condominium unit. Add the lake-side building name, court suffix and assigned parking bay when those details prevent a mistaken arrival.
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.
Md. Real Property section 10-702. Current as of September 2026. General information, not legal advice.
Show the lowest level that could be used regularly, including a future bedroom, office or recreation room. The technician will select the measurement position after reviewing the current layout.
Name one dependable keyholder, confirm any alarm or lockbox instructions, and make the intended low-level area accessible for placement and pickup. Schedule renovation and moving activity outside the measurement period.
A common-area measurement documents the place where that device operated. It does not establish the concentration in a separate apartment or condominium, so request testing for the dwelling involved in your decision.
Leave it where it is and record what happened, including the approximate time. Give those details to the technician, who will decide whether the collected measurement can be used.
