Why Radon Detection Specialists For School Testing?

Testing your school for radon can be done any time during the school year or over the summer months, if HVAC systems are running normally. All testing devices are chemical-free and non-intrusive in the classroom. In order to properly test a school for radon, testing devices must be placed in every classroom, every office, and every general-purpose or common space (i.e. library or multi-purpose rooms). From start to finish, the testing and reporting process takes about a week.

Radon Detection Specialists, Inc. is an IASB (Illinois Association of School Boards) Service Associate. IASB Service Associates are businesses that offer school-related products and services and which have earned favorable reputations for quality and integrity. Only after screening by the Service Associates Executive Committee is a business firm invited by the IASB Board of Directors to become a Service Associate.
