A:  Because HomeDepot is a big lumbering corporation that is all about the dollar. They've driven the little guy out of business, the one who would actually listen. Enjoy your corporate overloard.

      A:  Like i said it looks like i was never going to get my results without calling them. So their employees are not task efficient.

        A:  I can't speak on The Home Depot's decision to sell these as they only sell what customers purchase. Part of the problem with this sort of test device is user error. I have used these test kits for multiple real estate transactions and am happy with their test results versus other brands and the more expensive tests I have paid for with home inspectors. For me, the appeal of this product is I can purchase multiple kits for an affordable price to test an entire home. My recommendation for anyone using these kits if you are concerned about the validity of the test results: 1) use multiple kits at a time 2) follow the directions 3) vary your test window and days (not all at the same time and same days) 4) average the results to determine your risk and remediation needs. Are these the perfect test kit? Nope. Are they a good indicator of whether or not you need to correct a potentially unsafe situation? Yes!

        A:  We consider it a scam also. We did everything per the directions and paid to have the test results but they said there was a problem with one of the test tubes. The cap was loose when we opened the package and a phone call to the company said it would not be a problem yet then there was! They offered to do the test again if we bought a second kit. Our advise is to talk to your county about getting a local test kit. Maybe then the testing company is legit.

              Q:what's the difference between short term and long term test kits
              by|Dec 28, 2018

              Answer This Question

              A:  Long term testing is considered A more accurate Representation of the actual radon levels since it accounts for seasonal changes etc. however, it is less convenient as you have to provide ‘closed house’ environment for a much longer period of time (some tests are designed for 90 days or more)

              by|Jun 30, 2023

              A:  Hello, Thank you for you business. Are short term kits are for two to four days. Our Long Term is for three months to a year. If you have any other question please call our Customer Service @954-384-4446.

                A:  The length of the sample time. Most real estate transactions cannot wait weeks or months to gather a radon sample. The short-term test kit is for a quick and most likely less reliable sample of radon. The longer term kit will be for follow up testing and average radon level over a longer period of time. If you own a home and/or are considering selling, you may want to consider a long term kit to preempt any issues prior to sale.

                Terrible instructions,kit may not work
                Did not k ow it had to be sent within 24 hours of closing until a card fell out of the envelope. We were very careful to do between 48 and 96 hours but we capped it at 6am and will not be able to put them in the mail until more than 24 hours now becusse it didn’t not say this anywhere else. We will mail it and hope for the best but the instructions did not mention this requirement.

                  Purchased this kit and followed the instructions explicitly. Sent the capped vials to Pro-Lab immediately on 1/17/2018. Pro-Lab sent an email almost a month later sharing that the vials were not received until 2/1/2018. After years of sending postal mail across the country this is the first time that first class mail has taken 15 days to reach the address. A review of the BBB and the reviews on this site I am surprised HomeDepot is willing to continue to carry a vendor who disappoints so frequently.

                        I just sent our test in recently and received the report via email in 7 business days. Our reading was quite high, and I ordered a detector that will more accurately confirm short-term and long-term results.
