Real Estate Radon Testing in North Florida, FL

Real estate radon testing gives buyers, sellers, and agents a documented radon result inside a closing window. Florida law requires a radon disclosure in residential sale contracts and leases. A short-term test under closed-house conditions typically runs forty-eight hours, producing a written report you can attach directly to the contract.

Does Florida require radon testing to sell a house?

No, but it requires disclosure. Florida law obligates residential sale contracts and rental agreements to carry a radon gas notice informing the buyer or tenant that radon may be present and that testing is available. Disclosure is not the same as testing, and the notice tells a buyer nothing about your specific home. That gap is why radon contingencies have become routine here: the buyer reads the notice, then asks for a test.

How fast can you test before closing?

A standard real estate test uses a continuous radon monitor placed for forty-eight hours. Placement usually happens within a day or two of your call, retrieval is on schedule, and the written report is delivered the same day the monitor comes out of the house. From first phone call to report in hand is commonly three to four days.

What if the result comes back above 4.0 pCi/L?

It becomes a negotiation, not a deal-breaker. Mitigation is a modest line item next to the price of a house, and it installs in a day. The common paths:

• The seller mitigates before closing, and a post-mitigation test confirms the fix.
• The seller issues a credit at closing and the buyer arranges mitigation afterward.
• The cost is split, or funds are held in escrow until the system is installed and verified.
• The buyer accepts the result and handles it on their own timeline.

In practice, a documented system with a passing post-test becomes a selling point. The problem was disclosed, solved, and proven, which is a stronger position than an untested house.
