Make Sure To Hire a Licensed Radon Tester When Buying or Selling a Home

Since radon enters your home from the soil beneath it, a problem can arise no matter what style, age, location, or building materials of your home. The average radon levels in each state can be drastically different due to things like terrain, uranium content in the soil, and how porous surface rock formations are. So whether the home is newly built, or is just new to you, the EPA & DEP recommends that homes in Pennsylvania are tested for radon by a licensed radon tester before being bought or sold.

Pennsylvania law also requires that all radon testing be performed by a certified third-party tester, and if you’ve tested the home’s radon levels they be disclosed to the potential buyer.

I had Mold Medics come out for a mold issue and to clean my vents. The first day Thaddeus came out and worked non stop cleaning up my mold issue. The attention to details was outstanding and both guys were extremely nice. They told me two different guys were coming out the next day, and quite frankly I wanted Thaddeus to come back because the service was so great! But they showed up on time again, and did an amazing job cleaning my vents and explaining the process to me. For the air quality and safety of your home, I would not recommend anyone else.

Working with Mold Medics was wonderful. There is great communication throughout and Bryan did an amazing job removing and treating the mold in our bathroom. Highly recommend and would use in the future if needed.

Abigail Lo

We had a great experience with Mold Medics! They were easy to schedule with and reasonably priced. They were even all great with pets! The technician who did the removal, John, was fantastic. He was very thorough in his explanation of the services and in his work. He was easy to talk to and passionate about his work. He was also very mindful of my cats and ensuring they didn’t get out. Very trustworthy from all aspects. I had many patches/spots of visible mold all over the bathroom ceiling and it was sparkling white when he finished. He also cleaned off everything else in the bathroom including the walls, light fixtures and even the vent. Highly recommend!

There’s a lot of conflicting information out there on how to handle mold remediation. Getting it done properly is not cheap, but working with mold medics has given me confidence that we’ve done the best we possibly can to keep our basement mold free. Thad patiently answered my millions of questions and the work team with Justin, Anthony, and Trevor were really hard workers and just lovely to work with.

Ece Yildirim

When we moved furniture during spring cleaning my son found mold that came from our basement sewage pipe explosion. My service person was John and he explained the process very well. He was friendly, clean and professional. The results were excellent and no pressure selling. I recommend Moldmedics to anyone concerned with mold removal.

Lynda Rhyne

Mold medics is by far THE CHOICE when looking for expert help in mold remediation and service. Our initial phone call for consultation was met with an immediate response and we were able to begin work in a timely manner. Mike came to our home and together showed me and spoke to me about what we were dealing with and the quick diagnosis of how to eliminate the problem we were experiencing. He was knowledgeable, kind, courteous and respectful our time. The work was down very quickly and in a very cost effective manner. Everything that we were told should be done and would be done was accomplished quickly. We felt very confident deal with Mold Medics and truly the end result is testimony to the fact that they are experts in this area and know what they are doing and accomplish things perfectly. I cannot say enough great things about this service and its staff. Simply the best.

John did a great job and I felt very comfortable letting him into my home!! My furnace is running so much better since the duct cleaning.

Nancy Bevilacqua

I would give Mold Medics 10 stars if I could. From the estimate to the job completion, they were professional, friendly, and extremely easy to work with. Ashley completed the estimate and explained the pricing. She worked within my budget to get the job done! The Mold Medic teams were fantastic to work with. Connor explained the process every step of the way. He was kind, considerate, and respectful of my pets. I would recommend this company, hands down, for mold eradication and duct cleaning.

Barbara Kolling

I had a smaller mold issue in my RV after a roof leak. After calling some “competitors” I was told the job was too small and couldn’t find anyone to help. Called Mold Medics and spoke with Ashley. She was very friendly and helpful on the phone and tried her best to help me out. She got me in the next day to take a look at it. Her and Kobe took care of the issue right there and then in the parking lot! Very knowledgeable and caring and worked with me on the price. Big job or small I would highly recommend you give Ashley and Mold Medics a call!

I wish I could give them 15 stars!! Ashley & her team were absolutely amazing start to finish!! We were having insulation (by another company) installed in our attics but they found mold. They recommended Mold Medics and Ashley came out THE SAME DAY!!!! By the end of that week they were here and taking care of our mold problem. Affordable, quick, & trustworthy!

Katlyn LaPorte

The risk of cancer from radon exposure for non-smokers is equal to...*

For starters, you only need radon mitigation services when your home's radon levels are getting too high. As stated previously, the EPA action level is 4 pCi/L ¹ and the WHO set theirs to 2.7 pCi/L ². If radon levels remain at those high levels, they can start to pose serious health-related issues.

According to both the National Cancer Institute (NCI) ³ & the EPA ³, radon causes lung cancer in smokers and non-smokers alike. Radon represents a far smaller risk for lung cancer than Smoking, but it's still the second leading cause in the United States. Scientists estimate that 15,000 to 22,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States each year are related to radon.

For smokers, long-term radon exposure dramatically increases their risk of developing lung cancer. Fortunately, there's an easy way for homeowners to protect themselves and their families: have a professional radon tester check your home every five years. And when you discover your levels are high, work with a licensed radon mitigation specialist to reduce them down to safer levels. Don't wait; take preventative measures against these potential ill effects with our radon mitigation services today!

* If you are a smoker, your risk may be higher. Infographic comparison data was calculated using the CDC's & National Cancer Institute's 1999-2001 Reports.³

What's measured during radon testing?

When radon testing, it’s measured in Picocuries per Liter; pCi/L’s. A Picocuries is simply the measurement of the rate of decay of radon, and Picocuries per Liter is measuring that radioactivity every 27 seconds in a volume of one liter. Which is about 0.037 decays per second in every liter of air, by the way. So 1 pCi/L is equal to about 2.22 disintegrations per minute!

Where should my radon levels be after radon testing?

According to the EPA, the national average for outdoor Radon levels is 0.4 pCi/L & the average indoor radon level is 1.3 pCi/L. It's difficult to lower your radon levels below 2 pCi/L, but that's where you should be aiming.

What levels are problematic after radon testing?

The EPA set 4pCi/L as the action level for the United States in 1988 and has remained the standard. The EPA labels all levels of radon from 4 pCi/L & above as "Fix Your Home" when advising what to do. But homes with readings between 2pCi/L & 4pCi/L should also consider mitigation. As of 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) set its threshold to mitigate at 2.7pCi/L.

Your Neighbors' Radon Level Isn't Your Own

In early 2022, we were curious if there was any credence to people who say "my neighbor recently test so I'm fine" or "my neighbor has a radon mitigation system, so it's lowering my radon levels too". So we embarked on a mission to assess the radon levels in multiple homes situated on the same street in Valencia, PA. These houses, built simultaneously using identical construction methods and builders, presented a unique opportunity to study the variability of radon levels.

What we discovered was startling. Out of the five homes we tested, four exceeded the radon action level. The readings ranged from 4.1 pCi/L to an alarming 15.9 pCi/L. The home with the lowest level, of 2.6 pCi/L, had a radon mitigation system installed and was located in the middle of the neighborhood. Clearly not helping to lower the other homes' levels. This study serves as a stark reminder that radon issues can vary drastically even among homes with a similar construction in close proximity and the importance of performing annual radon testing of your home.

When Should I Be Testing My Home's Radon Levels?

For starters, both the EPA and the PA DEP recommend that you perform radon testing every five years, or every two years if you have a mitigation system installed to ensure that the system is continuing to operate correctly.

They also highly recommend getting radon testing services after any major home renovation, especially if it involves structural changes or foundation repairs, or even things like finishing your basement, replacing your HVAC system, window or siding replacements, and more. All of these processes can change the way that air moves in and out of your home, and could increase radon gas coming in from the soil.
