What should I do after a test left in a garage during a mail-in radon test when a realtor is asking?

Accepted Answer

A test left in a garage during a mail-in radon test when a realtor is asking does not always ruin the test, but it makes the result harder to trust. Check the kit instructions and lab rules before relying on the number. If the test window, placement, or mailing step was clearly wrong, retesting is usually cleaner than building a decision on a questionable result. If the result is elevated or confusing, call or text Bill and he can talk through what mitigation would involve.
