Radon Testing Corporation of America

What Radon Testing Corporation of America does

Radon Testing Corporation of America (operating as Radon.com) is a private, U.S.-based e-commerce company founded in 1986 that sells do-it-yourself radon detection test kits and radon mitigation system components directly to consumers, with a secondary B2B portal supplying certified radon professionals. The company serves three primary customer segments: individual homeowners and prospective home buyers testing indoor air or well water for radon exposure, schools and educational institutions conducting indoor air quality testing, and certified radon measurement and mitigation professionals seeking product supply and customer referrals. Its brand portfolio includes Radon.com (the consumer-facing marketplace), Air Chek (short-term test kits), Alpha Track (long-term test kits), AccuStar (water test kits), and RadonAway (mitigation hardware). Headquartered at 3 Saber Way, Ward Hill, Massachusetts, the company operates with 11-50 employees and is governed under Massachusetts law with no disclosed ownership, funding, or investor base.

The product line consists of passive radon detection devices—activated charcoal canisters for 3-7 day short-term air testing, alpha track detectors for 91-365 day long-term air testing, and specialized water sample vials for measuring radon dissolved in household water—each bundled with NELAP-approved laboratory analysis and USPS return shipping. Complementing the test kits are RadonAway-branded mitigation system accessories: a U-tube manometer for visual monitoring of mitigation-system suction pressure and the RSA1 radon system alarm, a patented device with configurable 48-hour, 7-day, or 30-day audible-and-visual alert delays that is required by ANSI/AARST standards for all active radon mitigation installations. Pricing is unit-based and pay-as-you-go, ranging from $13 for the manometer to $59.05 for a duplicate-configuration water test kit, with volume pricing available at 50+ units through the B2B portal.

The company monetizes through three channels: one-time direct-to-consumer e-commerce sales of test kits and hardware on Radon.com, B2B sales to radon professionals via a separate portal, and an affiliate-style referral stream converting elevated test results into leads for the RadonAway Authorized Pro Network—a nationwide network of certified, licensed, and insured radon professionals across all 50 states. Distribution is primarily a single-country, USPS-shipping model within the contiguous U.S., with Canadian customers redirected to accustarcanada.com for certain products. Marketing relies on content/SEO (interactive radon maps, state resources, FAQs), email newsletters timed to the EPA's two-year retesting cycle, and organic social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. The company holds no patents or trademarks data in source materials, has no disclosed management team, and operates with no documented M&A, funding, or restructuring activity.
