Bottom Line is any Home can have High Radon levels. You cannot tell if a home has elevated Radon unless a test is conducted. Do not assume a home will be low or high because of the known area or history of the area. Homes next door can test high or low. It does not mean your home will test the same.

If a home does have elevated Radon it can be fixed. Most times with a simple affordable Radon Mitigation System.

A post test should always be performed after installing a Radon system to confirm new levels.
