Tips for Homebuyers
Identify the house you plan to buy.
Ask for a short-term radon test as part of the home inspection process.
If the home inspector is not qualified to test for radon, ask for a certified radon measurement professional.
If the results are less than 4.0 pico Curies per liter (pCi/L), no further action is necessary, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. However, that does not mean the risk to radon exposure is zero.
If test results exceed 4.0 pico Curies per liter (pCi/L), consider asking the seller to reverse the radon levels or try negotiating a lower price. Getting bids from contractors specializing in radon reduction can be a negotiating tool when buying a home.
However, buying the home and reducing radon levels later remains an option.
