Place to put radon results on the inspection so that the elevated levels can be grouped and searched by area r address

Looking for a way to record the actual radon results on properties with over 4.0 levels and then be able to possibly produce a map or graph from that data as to where actual elevated levels were found for marketing purposes.

Also water/well test results!

While you are at it, please make it generic so I can add the mold results also. Thanks for that.

I had this on my own website and it proves to be very helpful. In fact, I have this in my agreement to that allows me to use this data on a local map. Helps to inform the public and also drives sales. I have a green pin for results below 4 and a red pin for results 4.0 and greater. If a radon remediation system is installed and a retest is performed, I use a yellow pin. My data set got too large for google to handle.

This feature would be really awesome...

This is a neat idea but it would produce a data set that is statistically insignificant. You would need LOTS of data points to make it a meaningful product.

Hello all,

I see both sides to this being a good and not good feature. Good because more education and understanding is important. However, I know several realtors who see radon as a thorn in their side and another 'deal breaker'. Plus the EPA tells us not to guess but to just test. There have been cases where a duplex was tested on both sides, one came in low the other high. There really is no way to tell without testing if levels are low or high per what the EPA tells us. I am wondering if people will utilize the map in a way to decide whether to test or not?

We have our own equipment, would be nice to be able to record and map all readings, not just the high ones

Don't know where you are, but the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental protection already has a search by zip code feature. It has listed total number of tests, the highest, lowest and average by zip. Being that PA is a govern-mentally challenged "third world country", I can't imagine we're ahead of the curve on this!

an inspector's small set of data will probably not be statistically significant to be able to geographically infer probable locations of high radon
