What is a recommended action regarding radon testing for clients?

Recommending independent testing post-mitigation is essential to ensure that the radon levels have been successfully reduced to safe levels after mitigation efforts have been implemented. This action provides verification that the mitigation system is functioning effectively and that the indoor air quality has improved. It also reassures clients that their health and safety are prioritized, as radon is a hazardous gas known to cause lung cancer with long-term exposure.

By advocating for independent testing after mitigation, clients can be confident that the mitigation strategies employed are working as intended. This practice also promotes ongoing diligence in managing radon risks, as it establishes a routine of monitoring the radon levels in their environment. Regular post-mitigation testing supports overall safety and compliance with health recommendations.

In contrast, testing only upon complaints, advising against testing, or suggesting a specific testing timeline like every three years does not align with best practices for ensuring that living environments remain safe from radon exposure, particularly after any remediation efforts.
