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.
