There are two main ways to test for radon in your home. One is to have a professional come out with a continuous radon monitor (CRM) and set it up for a minimum of 2 days. The results are then available immediately and the machine gives an hourly reading as well as an average. This is particularly useful if the test is part of a home inspection to make sure the test is not tampered with. If there is no fear of tampering with the test though, then a do-it-yourself test is available for a fraction of the price and is extremely accurate so long as you follow the directions that come with it. There are a variety of test kits to choose from, be it short or long term. Short term is usually the best option for first test. Depending on the results a long term test may be suggested.
