🏠 What Is a Radon Testing?

Many buyers don’t realize this…

Radon testing is NOT part of a standard home inspection.

It’s a specialized inspection you can add on, and the cost typically ranges between $200–$700, depending on the provider and testing method.

☢️ So What Exactly Is Radon?

Radon is a naturally occurring gas that forms when uranium in soil and rock breaks down.

You can’t see it.
You can’t smell it.
You can’t taste it.

But it can enter a home through cracks in the foundation, basement floors, sump pits, or gaps around pipes.

Long-term exposure has been linked to lung cancer, which is why testing matters especially in Minnesota.

🔍 How Does Radon Testing Work?

A licensed professional places a testing device in the lowest livable area of the home (usually the basement).

The test typically runs for (2)–7 days.

Common testing methods include:
• Short-term passive kits
• Continuous radon monitors

Results are measured in pCi/L (picocuries per liter).

📊 What Do the Results Mean?

The EPA recommends taking action if levels are 4.0 pCi/L or higher.

If levels are elevated, mitigation systems can be installed to reduce radon levels. These systems are common and effective.

💰 What Does It Cost?

Radon testing is an add-on service, not included in your base inspection.

Typical cost range:
👉 $200–$700

When bundled with your regular home inspection, it may cost an additional $75–$300.

🧠 Why Consider It?

Because radon is invisible, testing is the only way to know if levels are high.

It’s a relatively small cost compared to the long-term health impact it may prevent.

🏡 Buying a Home and Under Contract? Don’t Do These Things

Once your offer is accepted, the home buying process enters a sensitive phase. What many buyers do not realize is that lenders take a final look at your finances right before closing. Changes made during this time can put the transaction at risk.

Here are some key actions to avoid while you are under contract 👇

💵 Financial Actions to Pause

• Avoid switching jobs or changing how you earn income
• Hold off on large purchases, even if you plan to pay later
• Do not apply for new credit or close existing accounts
• Keep your bank activity consistent and avoid unexplained transfers
• Do not co sign for loans or take on new financial obligations

📄 Process Related Missteps

• Respond promptly to lender document requests
• Schedule and complete your home inspection
• Do a final walkthrough before closing
• Review important contract deadlines carefully
• Keep your banking and employment situation unchanged until after closing

🔑 Simple rule to remember

Once you are under contract, think of your finances as on pause until you have the keys in hand.
