Important note about radon levels:
While there are radon "hot zones" across the nation, it is important to remember that any home can have high radon from its building materials, regardless of its location. The only way to be certain of your radon level is to have your home tested by a professional.

Inspectors using Radalink™ blind continuous radon monitors will offer test results that you can trust to be both accurate and unbiased.

Why Radalink™ Inspectors Test Differently
Radalink-affiliated inspectors are the only ones who outsource test analysis to the independent lab at Radalink, and test with lab-owned equipment that runs advanced self-diagnostics before every test. That diagnostic process ensures highly accurate functionality right before the equipment begins measuring radon and other factors over a two-day minimum period.

Blind is Better!
Radalink equipment prevents the inspector or occupant from seeing and manipulating test data during the test. After every radon test, encrypted test data, which also indicates environmental fluxuations and tempering attempts, is uploaded to the Radalink lab to be decrypted. Only then is it seen and analyzed by a human radon expert. This method guarantees complete confidence in the results reported to you.
