Review on πŸ§ͺ AirChek 43237 2 Charcoal Radon Test: Accurate and Simple Radon Detection Solution by Jason Cho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Radon is serious! Test your home! Airchek is an easy to use kit.

This set is very easy to use. Read the instructions carefully and you will have no trouble getting clear and accurate readings. The test worked well for me and the company emailed the results very quickly. My test registered 2, which is below 4, which is considered a danger zone. I learned a lot of valuable information. There are seasonal differences in radon exposure. In winter, with the windows closed, the concentration is higher. In the summer it will be less. The long-term average is important. In bad weather, especially windy weather, the display will look different. The lab also reported that changes occur from one day to the next depending on the temperature of the ground beneath the house. Apparently January is radon month in all states. If you call your State Department. public health at the time, they are giving away free test kits. I had to ship this AirChek kit from California to South Carolina. I was concerned that the radon might have leaked a bit out of the mailbox, but the lab assured me that 5 days on the road is perfectly normal. Honestly, this test kit is a great thing for your peace of mind. Check out the radon map online, it's a sensational post. The northern states are a real danger zone. Radon levels in Alaska are amazing. Mitigation, better known as "fixing the problem," does not come at a high cost given the potential consequences of living with high levels of radon in your home. They use fans and pipes under the house to vent air a few inches above the roof. The system looks like a gutter rising along the back or side corner of the house. I've heard estimates ranging from $500 to $1,500 depending on the size of the house. Make sure you get people who are certified.
