It is important to check your home for radon gas at least every five years, or after a home remodel. Two out of three Utah homes have unsafe radon gas levels.    

Although you can check your home for radon at any time, the best time to check for radon is in the colder months.   

Order discounted radon home test kits for $10.95 at the Utah Department of Environmental Quality Radon page, Radon.Utah.gov.   

Homeowners can also borrow a professional continuous radon monitor from our Provo office October through March.  Schedule an appointment to pick up the monitor at the UCHD event scheduler during that time.  There is a $25 fee, payable upon pick up (credit/debit card payments will be charged an additional $1.50 service fee).  Results will be emailed to you.    

The radon monitor check-out is not suitable for real estate transactions.  Real estate agents who need to test a home can find certified radon testers at Radon.Utah.gov.    

More radon information, including radon levels in your zip code and a list of certified testers and mitigators can be found at Radon.Utah.gov.  Another great source for radon information is the United States Environmental Protection Agency Radon Page.  

Email us at UCHDRadon@UtahCounty.gov with any questions.
