For real estate agents
Your radon contingency, handled in 48 hours.
Deals don't die because a radon test comes back high. They die because it comes back late. This service exists so a radon test is never the reason a closing slips.

The 10-day math
The 10-day math that catches agents off guard.
A radon test takes 48 hours minimum, plus the time it takes to actually get a monitor scheduled and on-site. Inside a standard 10-day inspection contingency, that math is tighter than it looks.
Here's the real timeline when we run it. Day one, offer accepted, contingency starts. Day two, monitor is on-site — that's our guarantee: on-site within 48 hours of your call, weekends included. The test runs through day three and day four. Late day four or day five we pick up the monitor, and the lab report lands about an hour later. That leaves days five through ten — five to six working days — for the buyer, seller, agents, and any attorney to talk about a real number, in daylight, without a scramble.
Wait until day six to make the call and you're gambling. A scheduling delay, a busy weekend, or a slow lab turnaround can push the result past the deadline entirely — at which point the contingency isn't protecting your client anymore, it's just a clock nobody can beat. When the number lands after the deadline, the buyer's leverage is gone: a walk-away has to be argued instead of exercised, and a re-negotiation is easy for the other side to say no to.
The fix isn't hoping the timeline works out. It's working with a tester built around the deadline from the start — one that treats 48 hours as a guarantee, not a goal, and picks up on Saturday.
What you get
What you actually get.
A short list of commitments, not a sales pitch:
- Guaranteed 48-hour on-site window — from your call to the monitor being placed, on a timeline that fits inside your contingency.
- Nights and weekends scheduling — because contingency clocks don't stop for business hours.
- A direct line to the owner — no call center, no dispatch queue, no "someone will follow up."
- Lab report about an hour after pickup — emailed to whoever your client designates: buyer, agent, closing attorney, or all three.
Why the chain of custody protects your transaction
01
Sealed monitor placed
02
Data uploaded — we never see the numbers
03
Independent lab scores the test
04
Report emailed to you
We never grade our own tests.
A sealed monitor plus an independent lab means nobody on either side of the table can accuse anyone of shading the number. That protects your deal as much as it protects us.
What the lab report actually contains
The report you, your client, and the closing attorney receive isn't a single number on a letterhead. It's an hour-by-hour graph of the whole 48 hours; the two-day average measured against 4.0 pCi/L (the level where the EPA says to fix the home); temperature, humidity, and air-pressure logs alongside the radon readings; a movement/tamper flag for the entire test window; and a record of where the monitor was placed and when it was armed. Everything a listing agent, buyer's agent, or attorney would need to defend the reading is in the same PDF.
The reason the hourly data matters as much as the average: a monitor that only outputs one number leaves every side of the table free to argue about what happened during those two days. Hourly data with tamper flags removes the argument. If the number is 3.1 pCi/L, the report shows exactly how it got there. If it's 6.4 pCi/L, same. Nothing is inferred, nothing is hidden.
A blind, independent lab reading is what protects you personally, too. The tester never scores the test — the lab does — and the lab has no financial relationship with either side of the transaction. If the number gets challenged later by the other side's inspector or attorney, the defensible answer is already on the report: sealed monitor, national standard, hourly data, independent lab. There's no version of that chain where an agent has to explain what the tester might have wanted the number to be.
How it fits your window
How it fits inside your contingency window.
A typical 10-day inspection contingency, day by day:
Day 1
Contingency clock starts — you call us
One call or text and we're on it. No quote request form, no back-and-forth on price.
Days 2–3
Monitor placed on-site
We drop off and arm the sealed monitor — including nights and weekends if that's what the schedule needs.
Days 4–5
Report in your inbox
48 hours of recording, we pick up the monitor, and the lab-read report lands — usually about an hour after we pull the data.
Days 6–10
Days left to negotiate
You've got the result in hand with real time still on the clock, instead of scrambling against a deadline.
What it costs
$295 flat. Client pays. No agent fees, ever.
The client pays $295 flat for the whole test — drop-off, the two-day monitor, pickup, independent lab reading, and the written report. There's no fee to you, and there never will be.
We don't pay referral fees, and we never will. Federal rules (RESPA) prohibit them in financed purchases — and a tester who pays for referrals isn't independent anyway. What we offer instead is the thing that actually protects your deal: speed, a sealed chain of custody (the paper trail showing who handled the monitor and when), and a report nobody can argue with.
How the first booking works
How the first booking works, step by step.
For agents booking their first test with us, the flow is short on purpose. Call (205) 000-0000 — one call, no ticket queue. We take the property address, the buyer or client's contact info, the closing or contingency date, and a lockbox code or a pre-arranged access window.
We confirm the on-site slot inside the 48-hour window on the same call. You, your client, and any co-listing agent get an emailed confirmation with the address, the drop-off time, and the pickup time so nobody's guessing.
On drop-off day the sealed monitor is placed and armed. The house goes into closed-house conditions (windows and outside doors kept shut) and the two-day test starts. On pickup day the monitor comes down, the sealed data uploads to the independent lab, and the report usually lands in email about an hour later. It goes to whoever you designated on the booking call — most often buyer, buyer's agent, listing agent, and closing attorney together, so nobody is waiting on a forward.
Every booking after the first is faster because we already have your brokerage on file. Repeat scheduling by text is welcomed.
