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 Anne Arundel County
A radon test in Severna Park 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 covers one Severna Park house, townhouse, apartment or condominium residence. Book online or call with the address, unit and access contact when another person controls entry.
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.

EPA testing guidance. Placement, closed-house conditions and the 48-hour minimum follow it, and your average is read against the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.
Continuous monitors. Airthings Corentium Pro instruments, logging every hour for the whole test.
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 Severna Park.
EPA places Anne Arundel County in Zone 2, a forecast of moderate average radon potential at county scale. Elevated readings can occur in every zone, so the category cannot answer for a Severna Park address. The useful evidence comes from a device in the residence. Show the technician the lowest level that could support regular living, work, sleep or recreation, including a room planned for later use.
Anne Arundel County's Region 4 plan says Severna Park historically developed because of the Baltimore and Annapolis Short Line Railroad and retains historic properties from that period. That existing-conditions history applies to the community and identified resources, not every house. Prepare from today's property: confirm the full address, describe the current rooms, identify the dwelling in scope and arrange entry for placement and collection. At an occupied home, tell residents to leave the monitor uncovered and untouched. At a vacant listing, coordinate the lockbox, showings, cleaners and contractors so no one disrupts the agreed period. If an owner, tenant and agent share responsibility, name one reliable contact for each visit rather than assuming the railroad-era community story supplies a building profile. A sound waterfront-area appointment also separates route information from building claims. Share a private-road instruction, parking limit or bridge detour if it helps the technician arrive, but do not treat proximity to water as evidence about soil gas or construction. For association property, determine whether a clubhouse, storage room or shared utility space falls outside the private dwelling. Put the residence number on every message. When a sale involves remote parties, decide who will receive preparation directions and who can answer questions on site. Keep the final report with the transaction file so a later reader can identify the measured premises and dates. When an association packet uses abbreviations, expand them in the appointment so a dispatcher, field technician and client all recognize the same destination without relying on local shorthand.

01
The County connects Severna Park's development to the Short Line Railroad and notes surviving historic properties. That account does not establish the age, foundation or indoor concentration of a particular residence.
02
Location names orient the service area. The technician still uses the interior layout and the lowest level that could be occupied regularly to select a compliant spot.
03
A real-estate appointment includes placement and later retrieval. Confirm that the agent, seller or occupant can provide entry on both dates without moving the device between them.
Where we test in Severna Park, and what to tell us
Round Bay, Linstead on the Severn
A community or waterfront label cannot predict a result. Provide the street address and explain which lower rooms belong to the booked household, then keep that area available throughout the measurement.
Chartwell, Ben Oaks
When a seller or agent holds the key, settle entry for both visits before placement. Mention an unfinished room if a buyer could later use it routinely, even when it has no furniture today.
Severndale, Cape Arthur
Choose dates without remodeling, moving or repeated delivery traffic around the property. If an unavoidable interruption occurs, leave the equipment where it is and report the event to the technician.
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.
No. The County's Short Line Railroad account describes community development and historic resources. A measurement inside your specific Severna Park residence provides the radon result.
Arrange reliable lockbox or agent entry for placement and retrieval, keep normal building systems operating, and avoid showings, cleaning or work that could disturb the monitor.
Yes. Potential regular use matters even when the room is unfinished or empty. Explain the intended bedroom so the technician can evaluate the appropriate measurement level.
No. The report documents the unit where the device was placed. Each additional residence requires its own defined scope, authorization and suitable measurement location.
