Michigan Radon Testing. Know What's in Your Air.
Radon is an invisible, odorless radioactive gas that can accumulate inside Michigan homes. The only way to know your indoor radon level is to test.
StressFree Mold Removal is expanding its property environmental services to include radon testing for homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals throughout our Michigan service area.
Why Test Your Property?
Radon cannot be detected by sight, smell, or taste. Testing provides the information needed to make an informed decision.
Understand your home's indoor radon concentration.
Identify elevated radon levels before they go unaddressed.
Support informed real estate decisions.
Determine whether further testing or mitigation is recommended.
Radon testing is a separate service from mold inspection and mold remediation. Testing availability and scheduling are confirmed individually.

Understanding Michigan Radon
Michigan Homes Can Have Elevated Radon Levels.
Radon occurs naturally when uranium in soil and rock breaks down. It can enter buildings through openings in foundations and other pathways between the ground and indoor spaces.
Michigan has areas with elevated radon potential, but radon levels vary considerably from property to property. A neighboring home's result cannot reliably predict the concentration in yours.
New homes, older homes, homes with basements, and homes built on slabs can all have elevated radon concentrations.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends testing homes for radon regardless of geographic location or building age.

Every Home Is Different.
01
Radon is naturally occurring.
02
Indoor levels can vary between nearby homes.
03
Testing is necessary to determine indoor levels.
Why Radon Matters
An Invisible Environmental Health Risk.
Radon exposure is a serious indoor air-quality concern. Understanding the risk starts with reliable measurement.
♡
Long-Term Exposure Risk
Radon is a known cause of lung cancer. The EPA identifies it as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, after smoking.
✓
Testing Provides Answers
Measuring indoor radon levels helps property owners decide whether additional testing, corrective measures, or ongoing monitoring may be appropriate.
Understanding Your Results
What Do Radon Test Results Mean?
Radon concentrations in the United States are commonly reported in picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L).
Below 2.0
pCi/L
Lower measured concentrations generally indicate lower radon exposure risk. No radon level is considered completely risk-free.
2.0–3.9
pCi/L
EPA guidance recommends considering radon reduction when concentrations fall between 2.0 and 4.0 pCi/L.
4.0+
pCi/L
The EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon when the appropriate testing process confirms a level of 4.0 pCi/L or higher.
Important: A single short-term measurement may require confirmation or follow-up according to the testing protocol and circumstances. Radon levels fluctuate over time. These ranges summarize EPA guidance and are not a diagnosis or a substitute for reviewing the complete test result.
Who Should Consider Testing?
Radon Testing for Michigan Property Owners.
Radon testing is useful at several important points in the life of a property.
⌂
Homeowners
If your home has never been tested, or the last measurement was several years ago, testing can provide updated information about indoor radon levels.
⌕
Homebuyers
A radon test can help buyers understand a property's environmental conditions before completing a real estate transaction.
◇
Home Sellers
Sellers may choose to obtain current radon information before listing or during the inspection and due diligence process.
▣
Real Estate Professionals
Agents can help clients make informed decisions by recommending appropriate radon testing and reviewing available documentation.
↗
After Renovations
Foundation work, changes to ventilation, and major structural modifications can affect indoor radon concentrations.
✓
After Radon Mitigation
Post-mitigation testing helps determine whether a radon reduction system has lowered indoor concentrations as intended.
The Testing Process
A Clear, Straightforward Process.
Testing requirements depend on the property, the purpose of the measurement, and the selected testing protocol.
01
Request Testing
Submit your property information through our dedicated radon testing inquiry page.
02
Confirm Details
We review the location, purpose of testing, availability, and applicable measurement requirements.
03
Conduct Measurement
Radon testing is performed using the appropriate equipment and measurement procedures for the assignment.
04
Review Results
Results are interpreted using applicable guidance to determine whether follow-up testing or mitigation should be considered.
Short-term radon measurements commonly last at least 48 hours. Some situations require longer measurements, specific building conditions, or additional testing. Exact procedures are confirmed before service.
Michigan Real Estate
Buying or Selling a Home? Radon Testing Belongs in the Conversation.
Real estate transactions often operate under tight inspection and contingency deadlines. Understanding radon conditions early can help buyers and sellers address concerns before closing.
Michigan does not generally require every home to undergo radon testing before a sale. However, applicable seller disclosure obligations, purchase agreement terms, and lender or buyer requirements must still be considered.
✓ Buyer due diligence and inspection planning
✓ Seller preparation and existing radon documentation
✓ Understanding elevated results and next steps
✓ Post-mitigation verification inquiries
✓ Dedicated radon inquiry separate from mold services

Understanding the Difference
Radon Testing Is Not Radon Mitigation.
Testing determines the concentration of radon inside a building. Mitigation is the process of reducing elevated radon levels.
StressFree Mold Removal's planned radon service focuses on testing and measurement, not installing radon mitigation systems.
If testing identifies elevated concentrations, a qualified radon mitigation professional can evaluate appropriate reduction options.
After mitigation, follow-up measurement is important to verify that the system is performing effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Michigan Radon Testing Questions.
Is radon a problem in Michigan?
Yes. Elevated indoor radon concentrations have been found in Michigan. Radon potential varies geographically, but any individual property can have elevated levels. Testing is the only reliable way to determine a home's indoor concentration.
Does Michigan require radon testing when selling a home?
Michigan does not generally impose a universal radon testing requirement on every residential property sale. Sellers may nevertheless have disclosure obligations concerning known radon conditions, and a buyer or purchase agreement may require testing. Consult the current Michigan disclosure form and qualified real estate or legal professionals for transaction-specific requirements.
Can a Michigan home without a basement have radon?
Yes. Radon can enter buildings through foundation openings and other pathways. Homes with slab foundations and crawl spaces can also have elevated radon levels.
How long does a radon test take?
Many short-term tests require at least 48 hours of measurement. Long-term testing typically lasts more than 90 days and provides a better representation of average exposure over time. The appropriate duration depends on the purpose and testing method.
What if my result is 4.0 pCi/L or higher?
The EPA recommends reducing radon levels when appropriate testing confirms concentrations at or above 4.0 pCi/L. Depending on the measurement method and circumstances, confirmatory testing may be appropriate before mitigation decisions are made.
Does StressFree Mold Removal install radon mitigation systems?
No. Our radon service is intended for testing and measurement only. Radon mitigation system design and installation should be performed by appropriately qualified mitigation professionals.
Is radon testing included in a mold inspection?
No. Radon testing is a distinct service and requires its own inquiry and scheduling process. A mold inspection does not automatically include radon measurement.
How much does Michigan radon testing cost?
Pricing depends on the property, testing requirements, and service location. Submit a dedicated radon testing inquiry to request current availability and pricing. The mold inspection appointment fee is not automatically applied to radon testing.
Can I request testing before the service officially launches?
Yes. You may submit an inquiry to express interest. An inquiry is not a confirmed appointment. Testing will be scheduled only after equipment, personnel qualifications, applicable requirements, and service availability have been confirmed.
