The scope of the inspection is detailed in the Rules and Regulations / Standards of Practice of 266 CMR 1.00-11.00 or NH Home 600.
Optional Services include:
- Radon Air Testing *
- Radon in Water Testing
- Water Quality (see chart)
- Mold Testing
* The EPA does not consider a single passive test acceptable for real estate transactions. Doing a Short-Term Test
If you are testing in a real estate transaction, and you need results quickly, any of the following three options for short-term tests are acceptable in determining whether the home should be fixed. Any real estate test for Radon should include steps to prevent or detect device interference with the test device.
There are trade-offs among the short-term testing options. Two tests taken at the same time (simultaneous) would improve the precision of this radon test. One test followed by another test (sequential) would most likely give a better representation of the seasonal average. Both active and passive devices may have features which help to prevent test interference. Your state radon office can help you decide which option is best.
| Short-Term Testing Options | What to do Next |
| Passive: Take two short term tests at the same time in the same location for at least 48 hours. | Fix the home if the average of two tests is 4pCi/L or more. |
| or | |
| Take an initial short-term test for at least 48 hours. Immediateuly upon completing the first test, do a second test using an identical device in the same location as the first test. | Fix the home if the average of the two tests is 4 pCi/L or more. |
| Active: Test the home with a continuous monitor for at least 48 hours. | Fix the home if the average radon level is 4 pCi/L or more. |
