Chad Fabry Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 I need someone to perform a radon test for a client in Hamburg, NY. Tom Raymond, do you do that?
Erby Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 I'd do it for a couple of grand. It's only 500 miles and I could hang out at Niagara Falls during the test. But, if Tom doesn't, here is where you can find someone that might. http://nrpp.info/measurement_template/NY.shtml
Chad Fabry Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 Thanks Erby, I was hoping to get one of the brethren, but if that doesn't work, I'll use the list.
Tom Raymond Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 I have done 2 radon tests with canisters. If they want to pay $50 to overnight the kits both ways and another $100 for me to set em, I'm game. I'm in hamburg almost every day. Or they can go to the Depot and get their own, under $20 last I looked. Don't count on getting a report in a timely fashion, I've seen them take weeks.
John Dirks Jr Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 Chad, is there a need for fast result? You could get an alpha track kit from RSSI and run it for 7 days. Then send it to the lab. Lab takes about a week. $25 These kits are best for long term but can be run for a minimum of 7 days if so desired. http://rssi.us/radon.htm
Chad Fabry Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 John, the house is 90 miles from me and I have a long history of not doing radon tests. Tom, I suggested cannisters as an option and she wasn't interested.
Tom Raymond Posted November 6, 2014 Report Posted November 6, 2014 That would have been #3 in 6 years. I have no interest in buying equipment for that kind of volume. I'd rather not do them.
John Dirks Jr Posted November 7, 2014 Report Posted November 7, 2014 Suggest the rssi alpha track for a long term test. Have them DIY. It's easy.
