Radon runner

[David C. Macy]

There are some times I wish I had someone to pick up my monitors.

My brother is out of work and was thinking about using him.

I may have him go through the Certification process so there are no issues with the Health Dept. and EPA.

What would you say is fair for a wage. $50?

I mean he just needs to check windows, stop the test and bring it to my house.

So what do you think??

[Wayne B. Wilson]

Sounds fair but how far would he have to travel

[David C. Macy]

Anywhere from 10 to 100 miles.

[Mark Nahrgang]

Hey if he's out of work I'm sure he would appreciate it. (I've been there.)

[Billy Boerner]

If I paid someone $50 to pick up I would only be profiting $20. If I could get away with it I wouldn't offer Radon as one of my services.

anything over a 30 miles i would ask for compensation for gas and travel if it where me . I like to treat people like i would like to be treated . But that is just me. Would not be much left out of 50 dollars for 100 miles travel .

I'm very happy that I have a Radon lab 10 minutes from my office.

I drop my test canisters at my clients prospective home and show them how to close them up (in 48-72 hours), fill in the stop time and date on paperwork provided, place in self-stamped box and bring it to their local post office.

The radon results will be on-line within 48 hours of mail-in date.

That makes it easy for you.


How do you verify protocol has been followed? If "they" are the sellers, "they" may not be as dilligent as protocol requires.

Just curious how that has worked out for you.

I place the 2 canisters myself. I show my Buyers how to properly close them up.

I then leave a flyer with the Seller stating "Radon Test In progress" and I explain the Radon testing protocol on this flyer.

I don't babysit Radon test kits. I have a way of knowing whether or not these canisters have been tampered with. I've found several test kits tampered with. I simply tell my Buyers to place a contingency in their Purchase Contract stating "Pending Radon Results" and test when they move in.
If the radon is high, they negotiate the mitigation system installation.
