Is it Safe to Buy a Home with Elevated Radon Levels?

Buying a Home with Elevated Radon Levels  

Buying a home can be a happy but stressful time. You may finally get a seller to say yes to your offer, but then you'll still need to go through the inspection process before making the final decision to purchase the home.

Most home inspections will include a radon inspection. If they do not offer this service, you can ask the seller to hire a company that provides radon testing services. 

Making sure qualified professionals are the ones performing an accurate radon test is important if you want to find out the concentration of radon gas inside the home. 

Radon in homes cannot be avoided, and finding a home with an acceptable level of radon can be difficult if the home does not already have a mitigation system. 

So what if you have found the perfect home only to find out there are high concentration levels of cancer-causing gas inside?

The real estate agent will need to ask the sellers to install a mitigation system to reduce the radon in the home. 

If a radon mitigation system was installed because the home had elevated radon levels, you want to be sure it is working correctly.
