Default Re: radon

Radon testing is not recommended as a profitable venture for home inspectors. How profitable is for y’all? I chose not to get licensed because I’ve read there is no money in it. Are you doing it just as a service for you clients? To make you more marketable?

James:

Radon Testing can be profitable if there is a demand in your market area for this service.

Below is a Radon Map of West Virginia.




For me, Radon Testing is quite profitable in Southeastern PA.

I’ve seen that very same map. I considered doing it till I saw on this site (not in the forum) that is was not profitable. There are only 40 licensed radon testers in the state. I may have to reconsider. This is my coverage area.
