Why Radon Levels Vary Throughout the Same House

Why Radon Levels Change From Room to Room— And Why Testing One Spot Isn’ t Enough

Radon doesn’ t behave like temperature or humidity. It doesn’ t spread evenly throughout a home, or stay consistent throughout the day. In fact, radon levels can vary room to room, floor to floor, and even hour to hour— which is why testing just one location can leave serious blind spots.
Understanding these variations is critical for protecting your family, children, and pets from long-term radon exposure. It’ s also why EcoQube Flex™ and its Place Management feature represent a major shift in how homeowners can test radon accurately throughout the entire house.
