Radon Testing For Multi-Family Buildings

Radon gas, a silent and odorless threat, can seep into buildings and accumulate to dangerous levels. Multi-family properties like apartments, condos, and student housing are at risk, regardless of location, as radon is present nationwide. Exposure to elevated radon levels is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., making testing essential.

Lifetime Environmental Solutions offers certified, reliable radon testing for multi-family buildings, so you detect and address risks effectively. Protect your residents—schedule a radon test with us today!

How Radon Testing in Multi-Family 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.

Learn More About Radon

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.

The EPA estimates that around 21,000 Americans die every year from lung cancer caused by radon gas exposure. That is 48.8 times the amount of deaths caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Radon gas is not something to ignore as we spend most of our time indoors working, sleeping, and spending time with family. Radon is a silent killer and could be lurking in your commercial property. Don’t wait to take action, give us a call today to set up a test!

​Radon gas can seep into a structure through cracks in the floor, open crawl spaces, sump crocks, and even pores of the concrete. Once inside, radon tends to stay put with nowhere else to go, and will start to build up. It takes approximately 4 days for radon gas to dissipate on its own inside of a structure, but the problem is that it is constantly rising. If there is not a radon mitigation system venting it out before it has a chance to get in, the trapped radon gas will stay constant.

During the decay chain of radon gas, it produces what are known as radon daughters. Radon daughters are radioactive particles that can attach to dust, water vapor, and smoke in the air, which is what makes them dangerous. If inhaled over a long period of time, these radioactive particles will cause damage to the lining of the lungs which in turn can cause lung cancer.

Ensuring worker safety is mandated by law, and commercial building radon testing is essential to fulfilling this obligation. The American National Standard Institute, in collaboration with the American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists, has developed the most up-to-date protocols for radon testing in commercial buildings. We should examine and test for radon levels in all basement areas and occupied rooms above the garages.
