Commercial Radon Testing in Los Angeles County, CA

Do not buy a one-room test and call the building cleared. Start with a written measurement plan that identifies every ground-contact occupancy, the required upper-floor sample, quality-control devices, access windows, and the report each location will receive.

Scope before devices

What the proposal must define

1. Building inventory

Every ground-contact space

Count units, offices, classrooms, retail, storage, maintenance, mechanical, crawl-space, and slab areas that are occupied or communicate with occupied space.

2. Measurement protocol

The standard and sample plan

Name the current ANSI/AARST standard, test duration, closed-building conditions, upper-floor sampling, duplicates, blanks, spikes, and device custody.

3. Occupant operations

Access and tamper control

Define tenant notices, room access, HVAC operation, device protection, after-hours entry, invalid-test handling, and who documents deviations.

4. Report and next bid

Results by location

Require a floor plan, device log, location result, QA record, retest rule, and a separation between measurement findings and any mitigation proposal.

California verification

Certification is part of the scope

CDPH states that radon service providers operating in California must be approved through the recognized national certification programs. Confirm the tester and the expiration date before relying on transaction, school, multifamily, or non-residential results.

County context

Use local data to justify testing—not to clear the building

Official signal

1.9 pCi/L

County or ZIP evidence cannot predict a specific office, school, apartment, warehouse, or retail space. The building measurement plan controls the decision.
