Our Review of
EPA's Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon
Buying a Home

Of course, the EPA is going to recommend getting a Radon test, prior to purchasing a home. The interesting aspect of this recommendation in the EPA's Home Buyer's and Seller's Guide to Radon is that the EPA provides guidance on some of the options a prospective buyer may take.

If the Home Has Already Been Tested for Radon, is it a good idea to decide to accept an earlier test result from the seller? Alternatively, should the buyer ask the seller for a new test conducted by a qualified Radon tester? Good questions to ask.

As usual, the answer leads to more questions, such as...

• The results of previous testing
• Who conducted the previous test and what were their credentials?
• Was the test performed in the lowest part of the home, where you will spend time?
• Has there been remodeling or any change in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning sinc the test?

All good things to consider, and there are more deails in the guide.
