Commercial Radon Testing Services in Richmond & Central VA
Professional radon measurement services for schools, offices, multi-unit properties, daycares, apartments, and other commercial buildings.
Why Choose RVA Radon for Commercial Radon Testing
Commercial radon testing measures radon levels in workplaces and public buildings to help property owners protect occupants, comply with industry guidance, and reduce long-term health risks.
Elevated radon can affect offices, schools, warehouses, apartments, and many other commercial structures — the only reliable way to know your exposure level is through certified testing.
At RVA Radon, we specialize in accurate, compliant commercial radon measurement with clear reporting and ongoing support.
Why Commercial Radon Testing Matters
Radon is a colorless, odorless radioactive gas that can build up inside commercial buildings of any age or design.
Because it can’t be seen or smelled, elevated radon levels often go unnoticed without professional testing.
Radon enters buildings through common structural openings such as foundation cracks, floor gaps, and utility penetrations. Even well-maintained or newly constructed commercial spaces can be affected, especially in Richmond and Central Virginia, where local geology increases the likelihood of radon intrusion.
Long-term exposure to elevated radon levels is a known health risk and can impact employees, tenants, students, and visitors who spend extended time indoors. For this reason, the EPA recommends regular radon testing for commercial properties, typically every 24 months, as well as after major renovations or changes in building use.
Beyond health protection, radon testing supports risk management and property value by helping business owners identify potential exposure issues and document a commitment to safe indoor environments.
The only way to know your radon level is to test.

When to Test Commercial Buildings
Routine Testing
Recommended every 2 years (EPA guidance).
We are certified radon testing professionals who follow proper ANSI/AARST protocols for reliable results. Our team is experienced in determining the testing requirements for monitors and time duration based on the building size and layout. Also, we provide clear results that you can understand so you know the next steps best for your building.
New Construction
The EPA issued guidelines for builders to implement radon-resistant construction techniques to reduce radon exposure in new buildings.
Upon completion, radon testing is essential to identify if radon levels exceed 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air).
Renovation/Reconstruction
Renovations, additions, and/or new buildouts may affect commercial buildings. Granite and other natural materials may impact radon levels as materials exposed to radon influence radon levels in your new space.
Furthermore, renovations may alter the building's structure and create gaps or cracks, which can lead to poor ventilation and radon buildup.
