About RadonReadyGuide

What This Site Is

RadonReadyGuide is an independent informational resource for homeowners who have received a high radon test result and need clear, accurate guidance on what to do next.

The site covers three things most homeowners need to know after getting a radon test result:

1. What their pCi/L result actually means — EPA action levels, seasonal variation, when to re-test vs. act immediately
2. What permits are required in their state and municipality — building permits, electrical permits, and contractor licensing rules organized by state
3. How to find and vet a certified radon contractor — NRPP and NRSB certification explained, verification steps, and questions to ask before hiring

Every state guide, article, and tool on this site is written to answer specific questions that homeowners are already searching for — not to pad a content library or generate traffic for its own sake.

Editorial Approach

Every page on this site is written to a single standard: it must fully answer a specific question that a homeowner with a high radon test result would realistically ask. Pages that don't meet that standard don't get published.

We rely on primary sources wherever possible:

• EPA radon guidance documents and action level standards
• State agency publications (PA DEP, CDPHE, IEMA, MDH, Iowa DNR, etc.)
• AARST ANSI/AARST SGM-SF — the national standard for radon mitigation in single-family homes
• NRPP and NRSB certification program documentation
• Municipal building department communications for city-level permit requirements

Where state or local rules are unclear or subject to change, we say so explicitly and direct readers to the authoritative source (state agency phone numbers and websites appear on every state page).

We do not accept sponsored content, affiliate fees, or payments from contractors or radon product companies in exchange for editorial coverage. Our only revenue source is Google AdSense display advertising.

What We Are Not

RadonReadyGuide is not a radon testing service, a mitigation contractor, or a referral business. We do not sell leads, earn commissions, or receive payments from contractors whose names appear on this site.

Nothing on this site constitutes professional, engineering, medical, or legal advice. Radon levels, permit requirements, and contractor licensing rules change. Readers should always verify current requirements with their state radon office and local building department before making decisions.

How Content Is Kept Current

State permit requirements and contractor licensing rules change — sometimes annually. We review state guides on a rolling basis and update pages when we identify changes in state agency requirements, new municipal permit rules, or updates to AARST national standards.

Each page displays its most recent update date. If you notice outdated information, please use the contact form to let us know — we treat reader corrections as high-priority updates.

Free Tools and Downloads

The Radon Action Level Advisor tool and the Homeowner Checklist PDF are free to use without sign-up or registration. They will remain free.
