Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas and a leading cause of lung cancer — and testing is the only way to know your home's level. Especially important across New Jersey.
Radon testing measures the level of radon in a home in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L). While there is no truly safe level of radon, the Environmental Protection Agency set an action level of 4 pCi/L — once radon levels reach or exceed 4 pCi/L, action should be taken to fix the problem.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps up from the ground into homes. It's colorless and odorless, so you can't see it or smell it — the only way to know a home's level is to test for it. Elevated radon is common across many parts of New Jersey, which makes testing an important step for buyers and homeowners alike.
Frank Frasco provides radon testing throughout Northern New Jersey as part of his inspection services. He places the test properly, measures the level over the test period, and gives you clear results with straightforward guidance on what they mean and what to do next.
A radon test is a straightforward process — here's what it involves and what you'll learn.
The home's radon level measured in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) over the test period.
The test placed in the lowest livable area of the home, where radon tends to concentrate.
Timely testing to support real estate transactions and closing timelines.
Clear results with EPA 4 pCi/L action-level guidance and honest next-step advice.
Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, behind only smoking — and because it's invisible and odorless, it can build up in a home for years without anyone knowing. The only way to find it is to test.
For home buyers, a radon test is inexpensive peace of mind on the biggest purchase of your life. If levels come back at or above 4 pCi/L, you'll know before closing — and can factor a mitigation system into your decision.
For homeowners, periodic testing is simply smart. Radon levels can change over time, and knowing where your home stands lets you protect your family's health with confidence.
Your radon test delivers clear results with plain-language guidance on what they mean and what to do next.

There is no truly safe level of radon, but the EPA has set an action level of 4 pCi/L. Once a home's radon reaches or exceeds 4 pCi/L, action should be taken to reduce it — typically with a mitigation system installed by a qualified contractor.
Elevated radon is common across many parts of New Jersey due to the local geology. Testing is a smart step for any home in the area, and it's a routine part of many real estate transactions.
A standard short-term radon test runs over a set period of time, after which the results are read and reported. Frank will let you know the timing when you schedule, and works with your closing timeline.
If your level reaches or exceeds 4 pCi/L, the recommended step is radon mitigation — a system installed by a qualified contractor to reduce the radon to a safe level. Frank will explain your results clearly so you know exactly where you stand.
