and long term radon testing services. A 48 hour radon testing service costs

For short term testing services, a technician will come to your home to place the continuous radon monitor and give
a brief consultation. After the test is complete, the test technician will return to your residence to retrieve
the test device and print the results on site. If high radon levels are found, a mitigation proposal can also be given
at that time. Short term and long term test canisters can be delivered locally, or sent
to you by mail. They include instructions on how to use them and the laboratory analysis. A long term test
is anything lasting longer than 90 days. For homeowners, the EPA and Minnesota
Department of Health recommend starting with a short term test, and if high radon levels are found, then a follow up short
term or long term test should be performed, depending on the radon level found. For
real estate transactions, only one test is needed if it is done with a continuous radon monitor. This is because decisions
need to be made in a short period of time. Using a continuous radon monitor is the best way to complete a short
term test because of the accuracy of the machine, and also its tamper resistant features. It records movement,
changes in temperature, barometric pressure, and relative humidity. You can be sure of the test results when it
is done by Athelon Enterprises, LLC.
