Finding Out if We Have Radon in Our Lake Tahoe Home

Tom views our Radon detector. It's the most convenient device we have found for constantly testing radon levels. Renny the Radon Robot looks on, bringing cheer and color to our pages as we tackle the serious topic of Radon

Our Handy Radon Detector

Checking for Radon levels in our home, Tom uses our Airthings Corentium Radon Detector. We purchased our first one several years ago, even though our Lake Tahoe home did not show high Radon levels. Since then, this little device has been reliable and accurate for making sure our Radon levels stay within a healthy range, both at home and in our office.

We like having a simple way to keep an eye on our indoor air, especially since Radon is invisible and cannot be detected without a testing device.

We appreciate that it is portable. We have moved it from room to room, taken it to different floors, and even used it in other buildings. It gives us a clear picture of how Radon levels can vary depending on location and time of year.

You can check out this Radon detector on Amazon, where you can read other reviews and learn more about how it works.

Why We Keep a Radon Detector Running

Even though our initial test results were fine, we learned that Radon levels can change. Weather patterns, seasonal changes, and even home renovations can affect how much Radon enters a building. A long-term monitor helps us stay informed without having to schedule repeated short-term tests.

It is reassuring to glance at the display and know that everything is still OK. If anything ever changes, we will know right away and can take action.

What We Like Best About This Radon Detector

• It is easy to use and requires no special setup.
• It shows both short-term and long-term averages.
• It helps you understand how Radon levels change over time.
• It provides confidence when buying, selling or maintaining a home.

Staying informed is simple, and a reliable detector makes it even easier. Testing is the first step toward understanding your home's Radon level and taking action if needed.
