First Radon test result ever! I have a question.
Hey guys! Need a little bit of wisdom from the community. Finally pulled the trigger on our first duplex and we are excited about that. We are currently in the inspection phase. We did a radon test during home inspection and got a result of 3.9 right under the 4.0 recommended limit at which you should act. I did read the EPA guideline which says that if your first test comes close to four there is a 50% chance that your yearly limit is under 4.0. I was thinking about asking the seller to put in a mitigation system but I feel like he may not feel obligated to do so. Being under the recommended limit technically and after reading the guideline I feel like we don't have to put one in right away and I will probably retest next year to see where we are at. What are your thoughts and recommendations?
Thanks!
