We always recommend testing for radon gas contamination in homes as it is a significant health risk if levels are elevated. For sure you will not get accurate reading a gutted hou...

...mitigation. Any increase in radon gas increases the risk of lung cancer, so there simply is no ‘safe’ amount. Removing radon at the source is always the most effective, that’s why sub-slab depressurization is one of the easiest ways to remove radon from existing basements that have no sub-slab radon barrier. Also, if y...

...mitigation techniques could be a DIY solution, particularly having a radon evacuation stack in the floor and covering it with a poly membrane, you will see more about it in the page above. Even that as a DIY technique would require some experience to vent it out properly. That step alone could easily drop your radon to...
