If you are buying a home in Twinsburg or just want peace of mind about your indoor air quality, we provide Ohio Department of Health-compliant radon testing with fast, accurate results. Summit County homes routinely test above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level — knowing your number is the first step to protecting your family.
Short-Term vs. Long-Term Radon Testing
Short-term radon tests run for 48 to 96 hours and give you a snapshot of your home's radon levels. They are the standard for real estate transactions in Ohio because they deliver fast, actionable results.
Long-term tests run for 90 days or more and provide a more accurate annual average. If you are not in a rush, a long-term test gives you the clearest picture of your home's radon exposure over time.
We deploy both types depending on your situation. For home purchases, we use short-term continuous radon monitors. For homeowners looking to establish a baseline, we recommend starting with a short-term test and following up with long-term monitoring.
How We Test Your Twinsburg Home
Our certified technicians place a continuous radon monitor (CRM) in the lowest livable area of your home — typically the basement. The device logs radon levels every hour for a minimum of 48 hours under closed-building conditions. Homes along the Darrow Road and Ravenna Road corridors in Twinsburg, as well as older homes in Twinsburg Township near the Chrysalis development, consistently test above the EPA action level.
We follow all Ohio Department of Health placement guidelines, including proper distance from exterior walls, height requirements, and environmental controls. When the test period ends, we retrieve the monitor and generate a certified report with hourly readings, averages, and our recommendation.
Understanding Your Radon Test Results
The EPA has set 4.0 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) as the action level for radon in homes. If your test comes back at or above this number, the EPA recommends installing a mitigation system.
Even if your result falls between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L, the EPA suggests considering mitigation. There is no known safe level of radon exposure — any reduction lowers your risk.
Our test report includes your average radon level, peak readings, and a clear recommendation for next steps. If mitigation is needed, we can design a system and schedule installation within the same week.
Real Estate Radon Testing
Ohio does not require radon testing for home sales, but most buyers request it during the inspection period. Lenders and inspectors in Summit County expect certified test results from an ODH-licensed professional.
We provide 48-hour turnaround on real estate radon tests with results delivered digitally. If the test shows elevated levels, we can provide a mitigation quote the same day — keeping your transaction on schedule.
If your test results come back above 4.0 pCi/L, our team can design and install a radon mitigation system for your Twinsburg home within the same week. Homes with crawl spaces may need crawl space radon mitigation with vapor barriers instead of standard sub-slab systems.
