Short Term Radon Testing is a relatively quick way to determine the presence and levels of radon in homes and buildings.

Unlike in Instant Testing, Short-Term Testing for Radon requires the installation of a device programmed to collect information over time, typically 1 day, 1 week, or 1 month, secured, but unmonitored.

A radon technician or inspector will travel to the location, assess the best site to install the measuring device, prepare the site, complete the installation, and leave once the radon detection device is confirmed to be operational and collecting data.

The device must stay overnight or for several days, and must not be tampered with or disturbed in any way to avoid interfering with the testing process and thus provide the most accurate and reliable data.

A radon inspector or technician follows up at the predetermined time and day to uninstall and remove the measuring device. A comprehensive report will follow with explanations and a discussion about how to proceed in the future based on the data, their analysis and interpretation.

As a general rule, the longer the period of data harvesting and the more accurate the information is. The great pro about short-term testing is that it doesn’t take long to get results that can be complimented by further testing, but still provide some reasonably actionable information, to determine if and how to deal with the possible presence of radon.

Short Term Radon Testing can be booked in the standard way and may be the best option to get actionable results fairly quickly. Availability is superior to other options as it requires the use of measuring devices for a fairly limited period of time.
