Radon Testing Trussville & Leeds
Radon Testing in Trussville, Leeds & the Eastern Metro
The short version: Radon testing Trussville Leeds and the east side is home turf for us — we're based in Leeds, which makes Trussville, Irondale, Moody, Odenville, Springville, and Pell City the shortest drives we run. $295 flat, a sealed 48-hour monitor, a certified lab report usually back about an hour after pickup. We don't sell or install mitigation systems, so nothing about your number is good or bad for our business either way.
Jefferson County is on ADPH's list of Alabama's 15 highest-potential radon counties. St. Clair County is EPA Zone 2, with a measured elevated-test rate that came in higher than Jefferson's.

Two Counties, Two Numbers
Two Counties, Two Different Numbers
Trussville and Leeds sit right across the Jefferson-St. Clair line, and the county under your foundation changes what the measured data looks like. On CDC's 2008-2017 data, Jefferson County averaged 1.9 pCi/L, with 10.7% of ~630 tests at or above 4. St. Clair — the Moody, Odenville, Springville side — averaged 2.1 pCi/L, with 14.0% of ~70 tests at or above 4. The St. Clair sample is smaller (~70 tests), and the elevated-test rate came in higher, not lower.
10.7%
Jefferson tests ≥ 4 pCi/L (CDC 2008-2017, n≈630)
14.0%
St. Clair tests ≥ 4 pCi/L (CDC 2008-2017, n≈70)
One thing worth saying plainly: St. Clair is EPA Zone 2, but it is NOT on the ADPH list of Alabama's 15 highest-potential counties. We say it here directly so nobody has to guess what "high-radon area" means for a Moody or Odenville address. Jefferson (Trussville, Irondale, Leeds, Pinson, Clay, Center Point) is on the ADPH list.

Why Being Based In Leeds Matters
Why "Based in Leeds" Matters for Placement Speed
Radon testing is two visits, 48 hours apart. On the east side of the metro, both of ours start from the same side of town. That usually means a call in the morning gets a monitor placed the same afternoon or the next day, and pickup 48 hours after that. Nights and weekends are on the table too — a real option, not a slogan; it matters most when your inspection deadline is already counting down.
This part of the metro is also the most cross-county part of it. Trussville sits in Jefferson and St. Clair. Leeds sits where Jefferson, St. Clair, and Shelby all meet — three counties inside one city limit. Argo sits in St. Clair and Jefferson. The test itself is the same either way, but the county your report gets counted in is not; the section above shows what each county's measured data looks like.
Coverage
Where We Test in the Eastern Metro
From the I-59 corridor (Trussville, Argo, Springville) to the I-20 corridor (Leeds, Moody, Odenville, Pell City), plus the north-Jefferson edge (Pinson, Clay, Center Point).

Why Independent
Why an Independent Radon Tester on the East Side
We only test. No mitigation systems, no inspection bundle, no upsell if your number comes back high. For most companies in this market, radon is a side line to something else they sell. Testing is our whole job — so your result has nothing riding on which way it goes.
Every east-metro test runs on a sealed, lab-read monitor: we place it, an independent lab reads it, and we never grade our own test. That separation is what makes the report something a buyer, seller, and both agents can trust at the same time.
Buying or Selling on the East Side
Trussville and Leeds Sales — The 10-Day Window
Most Alabama purchase contracts give the buyer about ten days to inspect the home and negotiate repairs. A radon test has to fit inside that window: 48 hours of measurement, pickup, and a lab report. Being on this side of the metro is what lets us protect that clock — a call Monday morning usually has the report in hand before the inspection window closes Wednesday.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
You're based in Leeds — does that actually change anything?
Yes. Every job is two visits — placement and pickup, 48 hours apart. For east-metro addresses (Trussville, Leeds, Irondale, Moody, Odenville, Springville, Pell City), both drives are short, so same-day or next-day placement is normal. That matters most on real-estate deadlines, where the clock is already running.
My house is in Moody or Odenville — St. Clair County. Is that still a high-radon area?
St. Clair is EPA Zone 2, and in CDC's 2008-2017 data, 14.0% of the ~70 tests reported in the county came back at or above the EPA action level of 4 pCi/L — about 1 in 7. That's off a smaller sample than Jefferson or Shelby, so the honest read is: fewer tests, higher rate. St. Clair is NOT on the ADPH 15-county highest-potential list; Jefferson (the Trussville/Leeds side) is.
Do you cover Springville and Pell City?
Yes. Both are regular service area — Springville is just north on I-59, and Pell City is a straight run east on I-20. Same 48-hour standard, same $295, same lab-read report. Nights and weekends work for scheduling.
How much of the metro's east side crosses county lines?
A lot of it. Trussville sits in Jefferson and St. Clair. Leeds sits at the meeting point of Jefferson, St. Clair, and Shelby. Argo sits in St. Clair and Jefferson. The test doesn't care which side of the line your house is on — but the answer to "what does my county's measured data look like" can change from one street to the next.
