I tested my house when we moved in 3 years ago and the result was 3.6 Pci/L. When should I re-test?
The EPA and IDNS recommend re-testing every 2 to 3 years or whenever you make any significant modifications to the building. A good radon management plan that includes periodic testing can save you money should you decide to sell. If an elevated level is discovered during a short-term test a long-term test can more conveniently be conducted and an accurate assessment of the concentration can be made. You will be better equipped to make a mitigation decision should that be necessary rather than during the time crunch associated with a real estate transaction.
