Air Chek Question

[Brian C. Hoagland]

I have not done these inspections for 15 years so I have lost some of my expertise status but have to ask, if this is a money maker inspection for you then why are you not using continuous radon measurement monitors?

Cost of equipment, cost of equipment calibration, possibility of equipment theft, etc.

Brian it is in fact a good money maker at least for me here it is. I do about 5-8 tests per week and get anywhere from 115.00 to 135.00 per depending on if it is a standalone inspection or an add on to a full home inspection. I find the air chek kits to be cheap, easy to use and accurate and if I happen to have multiple tests going at the same time, I don't need to spend the overhead on 5+ machines and all there calibration and maintenance and possible theft. This method works well for me, so the old adage stands true, "If it's not broken, don't fix it"..
