Today I received the radon test results in the mail. I'd sealed the crawl space vents and done the three day test, then mailed them in on February 26th.
You are supposed to set the radon tests in the lowest level of the home, where people live. So I set one in the family room on the lower level. I also put one in the crawl space to see what level it would be there, because that's where it would be the highest level and the source of radon in the rest of the home.
EPA recommends that you do follow up tests then take corrective actions to reduce levels to below 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/l).
Living area: lower level family room 3.6 pCi/l
Unoccupied area: crawl space 27 pCi/l
While technically these results show okay levels in the living space, it does make me want to make sure we understand how any changes we make impact radon...hopefully reducing it.. as we move forward
