Confused About Radon
You’re not alone — especially if you’ve just taken a free radon test and received a radon number you don’t fully understand or disagree with.
When you don’t know what your radon level means, what mitigation actually involves, or how to evaluate a contractor’s bid, it’s easy to feel pressured and unsure.
- Maybe your result seems low, but someone is urging you to mitigate anyway.
- Maybe you’ve been given a bid over the phone without anyone inspecting your home.
- Maybe you’re looking at a proposal and can’t tell whether it’s reasonable, complete, or even necessary.

What We Want Families to Understand

Radon matters, but it’s a long‑term health consideration — not an emergency. You have time to evaluate your options and choose what’s right for your home.
