EPA recommends fixing your home if the results of one long- term test or the average of two short- term tests show radon levels of 4 pCi/L or higher. With today's technology, radon levels in most homes can be reduced to 2 pCi/L or below. You also may want to consider fixing if the level is between 2 and 4 pCi/L.
What level of radon requires mitigation?
It is the choice of each homeowner to decide what level of radon exposure they are willing to accept. Recommended timeframes for taking action to reduce radon levels: Between 200-600 Bq/m3 fix your home within two years. Above 600 Bq/m3 fix your home within one year.
When should radon be serviced?
Have your radon system check-in performed annually by a licensed professional. Retest your home for radon every two to three years. Your radon fan should never be turned off. It should constantly be running in your home to ensure that the system is working properly.
