What happens if my Glencoe home tests high for radon?

If your test comes back at or above the EPA action level of 4.0 picocuries per liter, the recommended next step is radon mitigation, and the good news is it's a well-understood, affordable fix. The most common solution is a sub-slab depressurization system: a contractor installs a vent pipe and a quiet inline fan that draws radon from beneath the basement slab and exhausts it safely above the roofline before it can enter your living space. These systems work reliably in Glencoe's slab-on-grade and full-basement homes alike, and many can be installed in a day. If you're buying, a high result is a legitimate negotiating point; sellers will sometimes cover or split the cost of mitigation. After installation, a follow-up test confirms levels have dropped. Don't let a high reading scare you off a good home; it's manageable. We can document the result and explain your options clearly.
