Thank you Roy for the fast reply.
I was thinking of getting one for a preliminary test before hiring someone to do a real in-depth test.
I suppose the question should have been, what do you think of one of these test for someone who already owns their home and looking for an easy way of testing for radon before hiring someone to do a real test.
You know it is sort of like someone who has a headache taking a couple of aspirin before going to get a MRI done.
Should it test positive then hire someone to do a more in-depth test to be sure before spending all the monies to have ventilation done.
Are they worth anything or should it go straight to someone who does a real in-depth testing for radon.
Here You contact the state epa, they for a nominal fee, will send You a couple of test canisters, directions for placement and the results when you mail them back…
They work . Just remember that you get out what you put in. There are specific steps to take (placement and controlled environment of test area) and not following them will give inaccurate results.
