Radon
FREE Short Term Radon Test Kit! The free kits are available to Nevada residents for a limited time
through County Extension Offices. In Clark County, the University of Nevada Cooperative Extension
office is at 8050 Paradise Rd. Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89123. You may also visit the UNCE Nevada
Radon Education Program website or call 888- RADON10 (888-723-6610) for more information.
Their representative, Ms. Laura Au-Yeung, can be reached at (702) 257-5550. Laura is charged with radon education and is the public liason for the State in the Clark County area.
Note: Although easy to handle, the test device offered by the State is very basic and requires care to set and must be dealt with in a timely fashion or the test may not be valid. At the end of the test period the kit is mailed back to the lab for analysis in a postage paid mailer. Be aware that the results may take awhile to get back from the lab due to in-transit time in the mail and lab testing time.
This type of tester is not suitable for fast turn around times such as those required in a real estate sales transaction. For real estate transactions and other situations requiring greater speed and accuracy of testing, we use a sophisticated, electronic measurement device that is placed on-site for a minimum of 48 hours. At the end of the test period an immediate measurement read out is available followed by a written report.
If your free test kit measures high readings of over 4 Pico Curies/Litre it may be wise to call us and we can discuss options with you. A more accurate test may be in order.
Which ever method you choose, we highly recommend testing your home for radon! It's easy and it's the smart thing to do for you and your family!

Bob is EPA certified for Radon Measurement and uses a sophisticated electronic test device made by Sun Nuclear to obtain not only very accurate readings but to have the answer immediately, on-site, at the end of the test period.
Note: Many counties may offer inexpensive charcoal test kits and although not as accurate as the electronic devices, can at least be a good starting place for very little money. I encourage everyone to at least test their home with the inexpensive tester and if readings are found to be high you can then contact Beacon Inspection Services and we can test more accurately if you wish.
