Either approach takes only a small amount of the homeowner's time or effort. Homes with radon problems cannot be fixed. There are solutions to radon problems in homes. Thousands of home owners have already lowered elevated radon levels in their homes. Call your state radon office for a list of contractors that have met EPA requirements or are state-certified.
Radon affects only certain types of homes.
Construction materials and the way the home has been built may also affect radon levels. Radon problems do vary from area to area, but the only way to know the home's radon level is to test. A neighbor's test result is a good indication of whether your home has a radon problem. It is not. Radon levels vary from home to home.
