Radon in Camden County, North Carolina
We have no local test results here. High radon is still found in every zone, so testing is the only way to know.
- EPA radon zone
- Zone 3
EPA Zone 3, lower radon potential (predicted average below 2 pCi/L). The EPA zone map dates from 1993 and is meant for planning; high levels are found in every zone.
What to do next
Test your home
Radon levels vary between neighboring houses, so area data can't tell you your own home's level. A short-term test takes 2 to 7 days in the lowest lived-in floor. A long-term test (90 days or more) gives a more reliable average.
If your result is 4 pCi/L or more, fix it
Most homes are fixed with a sub-slab depressurization system: a pipe and a quiet fan that pull radon from under the foundation and vent it above the roof. We're still collecting real installation prices for North Carolina.
Use a certified professional
Look for a professional certified by the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP) or the National Radon Safety Board (NRSB), or by your state if it certifies radon contractors.
