If your inspector flagged elevated radon and you close in ten days, you don't need a lecture — you need a licensed professional who can test, document, and (if needed) mitigate before the deal collapses. Radon Testing in Ames OH from Radon Eliminator is engineered around that exact pressure. We are licensed under Ohio Mitigation License RC202, we follow EPA testing protocols to the letter, and we schedule around closing dates instead of asking you to wait three weeks for an opening.

Ohio sits in EPA Radon Zone 1 — the highest-risk classification in the country. Athens County, including Ames Township and the rural parcels stretching toward Amesville and Chesterhill, consistently shows indoor radon readings above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. The geology here — fractured shale, glacial till, and old coal-seam disturbances — pushes radon gas up through foundations year after year. That is why Radon Testing in Ames OH isn't a formality. It's a baseline safety check every property in this region deserves.

Plenty of basement waterproofing and HVAC companies in southeast Ohio claim they "also do radon." We don't do anything else. Radon Eliminator is a licensed Ohio radon specialist — testing and mitigation are the only services we offer, and that focus is exactly why agents, inspectors, and commercial property managers across Ames keep our number saved.

• Ohio Mitigation License RC202 — published on every estimate, every report, and every job site. Ask your other quotes for theirs.
• EPA-aligned testing protocols using continuous radon monitors (CRMs) calibrated annually, not cheap charcoal canisters that drift.
• 48-hour short-term tests with digital reports delivered the same day testing concludes — formatted for lender, buyer, and title-company review.
• Closing-deadline scheduling: we hold capacity for real-estate transactions and won't book a non-urgent retest over your closing date.
• Transparent flat-rate pricing — published before you book. No "call for a quote" runaround.
• Multi-vertical experience: single-family homes, luxury estates, apartment complexes, schools, and commercial buildings — all under one licensed roof.

That combination is rare in southeast Ohio. Most local radon vendors are solo operators with one monitor and no commercial liability coverage. We staff a full team, carry full insurance, and document every test to a standard that holds up under lender scrutiny.

Every professional Radon Testing Ames OH appointment includes the same EPA-aligned protocol — whether it's a 1,200 sq ft ranch off State Route 329 or a 40-unit apartment building near Ohio University Eastern.

Our standard real-estate test runs 48 hours using a professional-grade CRM that logs hourly radon concentrations, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Tamper-detection sensors confirm the test ran under closed-house conditions — required by EPA protocol and demanded by most lenders. You receive a signed PDF report the day the monitor is retrieved.

For homeowners not in a transaction, we offer 90-day to 12-month alpha-track tests that average radon exposure across seasons. Radon levels in Ames swing significantly between summer and winter — long-term testing is the only way to know your true annual average.

After any mitigation system is installed — by us or another contractor — EPA protocol requires a follow-up test no sooner than 24 hours and no later than 30 days post-installation. We perform independent verification tests so buyers and lenders get unbiased confirmation that levels are below 4.0 pCi/L.

Ohio law and federal guidance require radon testing in schools, daycares, and many commercial buildings. We deploy multi-device testing arrays sized to ANSI/AARST MAH-2019 and MALB-2014 standards for apartment complexes and large commercial floors. Apartment owners in the Ames and Glouster corridors rely on us for portfolio-wide compliance testing.

Bundled pricing for agents and inspectors who need test-plus-mitigate quotes in a single document. If results come back above 4.0 pCi/L, we deliver a firm mitigation quote within 24 hours so negotiations can move forward without delay.

The process is the same whether you're a first-time buyer in downtown Ames or a property manager handling a 60-unit complex. Speed, documentation, and accuracy — in that order.

Book online or call. We confirm your address, transaction timeline, and the closed-house protocol (windows shut, exterior doors closed except normal entry/exit) that must hold for 12 hours before the test starts and through the full test period.

A licensed technician arrives within the scheduled window, places the CRM in the lowest livable level (typically the basement in Ames-area homes), and documents location, conditions, and start time. Placement follows EPA Protocol for Radon Measurement in Homes.

The CRM logs data continuously. Tamper events, open-window events, and power interruptions are all flagged so the report is defensible if a buyer or lender questions it.

We retrieve the monitor, download the data, and send a signed PDF report the same day. If levels are below 4.0 pCi/L, you're done. If they're above, a written mitigation quote — code-compliant, lifetime-grade — lands in your inbox within 24 hours.

Ames Township sits in northern Athens County, surrounded by Dover Township, Trimble, and the unincorporated communities of Amesville, Bishopville, and Sharpsburg. The terrain — rolling Appalachian foothills cut by Federal Creek and Sunday Creek — is exactly the kind of geology that produces stubborn radon problems. Homes built into hillsides, basements carved out of shale, and older foundations with stone or block walls all leak radon at higher rates than slab-on-grade construction in flatter parts of Ohio.

We've tested homes from the historic district near Amesville's covered bridge to newer builds along Township Road 56, and commercial properties throughout the Federal Hocking school district. We know which sub-slab conditions are common in this corner of Ohio, which crawlspace assemblies need encapsulation as part of mitigation, and which lenders in southeast Ohio require what specific documentation. That regional fluency is why we're the top Radon Testing Ames OH homeowners and agents recommend.

We also serve neighboring communities — Athens, Nelsonville, Glouster, Chauncey, Trimble, and McConnelsville — so a single visit can cover multi-property portfolios without travel surcharges stacking up.

We publish pricing because the "call for a quote" game wastes everyone's time. Standard affordable Radon Testing Ames OH packages start at:

• Real Estate Short-Term Test (48-hour CRM): $150–$195 for single-family homes
• Post-Mitigation Verification Test: $145
• Long-Term Alpha-Track Test: $65 (mailed kit + lab analysis)
• Multi-Family / Commercial Testing: Quoted per device based on building size and AARST protocol
• School & Daycare Compliance Testing: Custom quote with full ANSI/AARST documentation

If mitigation is needed, full systems for typical Ames-area homes run $1,200–$1,800 installed — code-compliant, sealed, with a manometer and a workmanship guarantee. No surprises at signing.

Inspectors in Athens, Hocking, Morgan, and Perry counties refer radon work to us because we don't compete with their core service and we don't blow up their clients' closings. Our referral program includes priority scheduling, co-branded reports on request, and a named Special Offer for any inspector who consistently refers. Email or call to be added to the partner list.
