Radon testing –
We highly recommend anyone looking have a home radon test conducted per EPA protocols contact a Certified Radon Measurement Specialist listed on the state website and or the two National Radon organizations websites for trained professionals.

We have seen many bogus tests being conducted and a lot of misinformation in over the almost 14 years of inspecting. It’s frankly a pet peeve of ours that anyone without professional training can conduct a test. Did you know that out of 128 licensed home inspectors listed in VT only 11 are trained certified radon professionals listed in VT? They must endure rigorous class time / science involved, pass tests and have continued education to maintain their certification. There are some inspectors without training who can conduct a proper test, but many who are just winging it. Please conduct your due diligence when selecting a provider.
