If you have successfully tested your home for radon gas and you have received your results they are positive for high radon levels of 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or higher. This is what you need to do.
Hire a qualified radon mitigation contractor to reduce the radon levels in your home
Decide an appropriate radon reduction method for your situation
Continue to maintain your radon reduction system
If you do these three suggestions you're health will benefit. Even though there are no immediate signs of Radon exposure, five to twenty five years down the road you may develop lung cancer. This is the only cancer directly related to being exposed to radon.
A national residential radon survey completed in 1991 to determine the average indoor radon level was about 1.3 picocuries per liter (pCi/L) in the United States. The average outdoor level is about 0.4 pCi/L. You may be wondering what you can do to reduce your exposure to Radon. I would recommend a Radon Reduction System.
Radon reduction systems have been proven to work. As a matter of a fact some radon reduction systems have been known to reduce radon levels in your home by up to 99%. The estimated cost of fixing a home with radon generally ranges from $800 to $2,500 (with an average cost of $1,200). Costs depend on the size and design of your home and also which radon reduction method is chosen. There are hundreds of thousands of people have reduced radon levels in their homes, so don't feel like you're the only one to have these kinds of problems.
