Radon is a radioactive gas that forms from the breakdown of uranium in the soil. Once formed, it rises from the soil to dissipate into the air. Generally the outdoor air level for radon gas ranges from 0.4pCi/L to 0.7pCi/L which is generally considered safe. The issue with radon gas comes when radon has nowhere to dissipate. When a structure blocks it’s path up from the soil, radon will find a way inside to continue rising.

Radon Testing For Government & Military Buildings
Radon Testing For Government & Military Buildings
Safety is a critical concern for government and military buildings, yet many facilities, such as courthouses, police stations, and military bases, remain unaware of the hidden threat posed by radon gas. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, can infiltrate buildings from the ground below and accumulate to unsafe levels, particularly in ground-floor and basement spaces.
With growing awareness of the severe health risks associated with radon exposure, testing has become a critical measure for ensuring a safe and healthy environment in public facilities.
Radon testing is a straightforward, non-invasive process that can be conducted with minimal disruption by experienced professionals. By proactively testing for radon, administrators of government and military buildings protect the well-being of occupants, ensure compliance with safety regulations, and uphold public trust in their facilities.
How Radon Testing in Government & Military Buildings is Performed
We offer three types of radon tests which can be tailored to fit your needs:
Charcoal radon testing: Can be used to test multiple areas of the building while keeping the cost low. Charcoal tests take a little bit longer to get a test report because they need to be shipped to the lab after use, but are generally the first option for most initial testing situations.
Digital radon testing: The fastest and most accurate way to test for radon in any type of building. Our digital testing monitors are calibrated yearly for accuracy and can produce test results in as little as 48 hours. We have access to over 40 digital testing monitors, so we can tailor to your needs no matter what the size of your building is.
Long term canister testing: Long term canister tests can sample the radon in a building for up to a full year to get a more robust average. This radon testing option is typically performed after a short term test showed borderline results.
Courthouses
Government buildings where legal cases are heard, judicial decisions are made, and public records are maintained.
Municipal Buildings
Government buildings that serve as centers for local and state governments, housing offices, legislative chambers, and public meetings.
Public Libraries
Public facilities that provide access to books, digital resources, and information, serving as spaces for learning and community centers.
Military Bases
Secure facilities where armed forces personnel train and conduct operations, often serving as hubs for military administration and logistics.
Police Stations
Facilities where law enforcement officers conduct operations, handle admin duties, and provide public safety services to the community.
Prisons
Secure facilities to confine and rehabilitate individuals convicted of crimes, while ensuring public safety and maintaining order.Learn More About Radon
