| Inspection on a 1960 home next week. Previous owners had the Radon inspected electronically in 2012 and it registered 2.9 out of a max allowed of 4 for our state. So it was a bit below the threshold Does this Radon stuff go up over time? It's been five years, would it be worth it to spend the $195 and get it tested again five years later? |

Where would the industry be without scare tactics? Quoted:

It's a legit concern but there are a shit load of scam artists out there. When I lived in a small town we had One guy who was certified for that part of the state. After he conveniently found my house to be at 4.2, he offered to give me a discount on his company installing the mitigation system!
Talk about conflict of interest! |
