Radon testing in Dunmore

Many Dunmore homes went up long before anyone tested for radon.

Dunmore borders Scranton's east side and has a character all its own, from the shops and restaurants around Dunmore Corners to the neighborhoods surrounding the Penn State Scranton campus. Much of the borough's housing is older two-story homes with full basements, many of them on stone or block foundations.

Homes change hands often here, and a buyer-ordered radon test is a routine part of most home inspections. A 48-hour continuous-monitor test fits inside a standard inspection window. The monitor logs radon every hour, so the results hold up for both buyer and seller, and the certified report arrives the day the test ends instead of a week later from a mail-in lab.

If the number comes back at or above 4.0 pCi/L, mitigation installs in a single day and is verified with a follow-up test, so even a high result can be resolved before closing. Not buying or selling? Testing is just as worthwhile if you plan to stay.

If you're settled in Dunmore with no closing in sight, the case for testing is simpler: this borough sits on the same glacial soils that have put more than a quarter of tested Lackawanna County homes at or above the EPA action level, and radon varies house to house — your neighbor's number tells you nothing about yours. A $150–$250 test settles the question for years, and if you ever do sell, a documented low result (or a mitigated, verified home) is one less contingency to sweat. Pricing details are on the cost page; common questions are answered in the FAQ.
