• A neighbour tested high and you have never tested at all

Why this comes up in Sergeantsville

Here is what makes Sergeantsville particular: public supply does not reach the village or the farmland around it. A well here draws from the Lockatong argillite — the uranium-bearing rock that makes this corner of the county what it is.

An intact 19th century village of stone and frame houses, surrounded by preserved farmland and farmsteads.

The usual approach

A short-term test means a sealed-house condition for at least 48 hours with a continuous monitor or a pair of charcoal detectors placed at the lowest lived-in level. The house has to stay closed the whole time, which is the part that most often invalidates a result. In New Jersey the placement and the reading both have to be done by a certified measurement business for the result to count in a real-estate transaction.
