Testing Is The Only Way
The concept of “radon testing” has evolved to include both quick detection and continuous radon monitoring. Ecosense’s advanced technology reveals that radon levels are changing all the time due to various factors such as weather conditions, the effectiveness of mitigation systems, barometric pressure, and even home renovations. A single test cannot accurately capture these radon fluctuations. The solution? Continuous radon monitoring in your home is the only reliable method to truly understand your indoor radon levels over time.
