Got a High Radon Test? Here’s What to Do

A calm, step-by-step plan for what to do after a radon test comes back high.

First, take a breath, a high radon result is common and completely fixable. Here’s exactly what to do next, without the panic.

1. Understand Your Number

Find your level in pCi/L. At or above 4.0, the EPA recommends mitigation. Between 2.0 and 4.0, it’s worth considering. What your level means →

2. You Usually Don’t Need to Re-Test First

If you used a reliable short- or long-term test and the number is clearly above the action level, you don’t have to keep re-testing. You can move straight to mitigation. (If your result was borderline, a confirmatory test can help.)

3. Get a Mitigation Quote

Call a licensed radon mitigation specialist (that’s us). We’ll look at your home and your result and give you a free, no-obligation estimate. Most homes are mitigated in a single day, and we guarantee your level drops below 4.0 pCi/L.

4. We Install Your System

We design and install a clean, quiet sub-slab depressurization system, seal the gaps radon was using, and leave your home spotless. See how the system works →

5. Confirm the Result

A follow-up test, done yourself or by a licensed radon measurement professional, gives you written proof your home is now safe, great for your records and for resale. If it isn’t below 4.0 pCi/L, we’ll come back and make it right.

FAQ

Related Questions

How much does a radon mitigation system cost?
Most residential radon mitigation systems run $1,450–$2,500, depending on your foundation, the layout of your home, and where the system routes. We give a free, no-obligation estimate up front, no surprises. See what affects the price
How long does installation take?
Most systems are installed in about half a day, and you can stay home while we work. It can take a little longer for larger homes, bigger crawlspaces, or older homes that need multiple suction points or more complicated work, but most are still done within one day.
Will the system really lower my radon?
Yes, and we guarantee it. A properly designed sub-slab depressurization system routinely brings homes from double-digit radon levels down below the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L. We recommend a follow-up test to confirm the result in writing, and if it isn’t below 4.0, we’ll come back and make it right.
Do you offer radon testing?
We do not offer radon testing. We install and service radon mitigation systems. For a test, use a licensed Illinois radon measurement professional or a home test kit, then send us your result for a free quote.
